Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Is a transport chair the same as a wheelchair?
No. Transport chairs have small back wheels. The occupant cannot push themselves. Wheelchairs are built with larger wheels topped with an easy-to-grip, rotating handrail that allows the occupant to maneuver themselves around.
Can this be pushed when it is folded?
Yes.
Are the arms removable?
No, they are fixed in place.
Can this chair be used as a walker?
This chair is not designed for that, so it is not recommended.
Does this chair come fully assembled?
It is mostly assembled. The only parts that will need to be put on when received are the footrests.

While the Drive Medical Bariatric Transport Chair is designed to be low-maintenance, there are a few things that can be done to keep the chair in good working condition. Should any repairs be needed, a qualified dealer or repair center should be consulted.

- Once a week, wipe down the metal with a clean cloth. Polish the chair once a month with auto wax.
- Clean the upholstery with mild soap, rinse, and wipe dry. Torn or worn-out upholstery should be replaced immediately since it may not support patient weight.
