Some wheelchair users require a chair that is designed to accommodate more weight. Manual heavy-duty chairs are built to hold anywhere from 250 to 900 pounds, and some electric models can support up to 600 pounds.

Electric Models

Power wheelchairs are operated by powerful batteries that can keep the chairs running for long periods of time. The batteries may only require a brief recharge or tune-up every once in awhile.

In order to make sure these chairs are best suited for each unique operator, seats are available in different widths, the height of the back of the chair is completely adjustable, the foot rest may be adjusted to fit the rider, and many other customized options are available. The chairs are created to operate both indoors and outdoors and to have the maneuverability a user needs to get around any type of obstacle.

Electric wheelchairs can usually be broken down into several pieces to make them easier to transport. Then, they can either be placed inside a vehicle or carried on the back with the right equipment.

Manual Chairs

Self-propelled heavy-duty chairs come with seats that can hold up to 900 pounds, and a few models even include an option that will increase this limit to 1,000 pounds. The width of the chairs comes standard up to 48 inches and may be requested in larger sizes if necessary. Each chair is built to be rigid and durable with a solid steel frame, mag-style wheels, and reinforced upholstery. These chairs are suitable for people of all sizes and can be tailored to meet any critical specifications, including wider arm rests, reinforced foot rests, and any necessary add-ons.

A heavy-duty chair will ensure that any size person has the ability to remain mobile, either on their own or with the assistance of another person. It is essential that the person reveal their actual weight when purchasing a heavy-duty chair because putting more strain on a chair than it is designed to handle could lead to a malfunction that could harm or endanger the user.
