Extra Large Heavy Duty Bariatric Wheelchairs

Bariatric Wheelchairs provide greater mobility for many who find themselves confined to a wheelchair. Extra-large wheelchairs are designed for bariatric patients to increase their mobility and improve their quality of life. These mobility devices include dual axle, steel transport, and extra-wide wheelchairs.

Reinforced with carbon steel, a bariatric wheelchair creates a solid, durable frame to confidently sustain heavier weights. Bariatric wheelchairs for sale have wider seats than standard options and range from 20 to 30 inches. This durable material with a wider platform allows for higher weight capacities, supporting upwards of 400 to 500 pounds. Vitality Medical supplies top-selling bariatric wheelchairs sold in the United States featuring transport, manual, and electric wheelchair models with a variety of optional wheelchair accessories.

  • What is the weight capacity of the chair?

User Seat Size Measuring Tips

The user will measure from hip to hip and from shoulder to shoulder. A wheelchair needs to be wide enough to accommodate the user's arms so that their arms are not cramped against their sides. It also cannot be so wide so that the user slides around or does not have adequate arm support.
