Transport Wheelchairs
Transport wheelchairs are great for the user that is on the go and has someone to push them. All transport chairs have tiny wheels which do not allow the user to push him/herself. However, these small casters make the chair extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver through tight quarters. Transport wheelchairs make life easier for caregivers because they are light to lift and easy to push. Make trips to the mall, grocery store, pharmacy, or even out to dinner a breeze with a transport chair from Medical Supply 4 U!
Standard Wheelchairs
A standard wheelchair is your basic chair. It has two small wheels in the front and two large ones in the back. These large wheels enable the user to push themselves on their own. Standard wheelchairs are fully collapsible making it easy to travel and stow them. These wheelchairs come in various seat widths with different weight capacities so that each individual is comfortable. Standard wheelchairs are great for someone that may want to push themselves sometimes and have their caregiver push them at other times.
