Heavy Duty Bariatric Wheelchair


Heavy duty wheelchair are also often known as "bariatric" wheelchairs. Any home medical products that have high weight capacities, whether they be wheelchairs, commodes, beds or anything else are more commonly referred to as bariatric products in the recent years.

Standard or "off the shelf" heavy duty wheelchairs are wheelchairs which will have a weight capacity of somewhere over 350 lbs. Of course, should the need arise custom wheelchairs can be ordered in cases where even heavier weight capacities are required.

  • Carbon steel frame with TRIPLE coated chrome for an attractive, chip-proof, maintainable finish

Seat widths for heavy duty wheelchairs will range from about 20" to about 30" depending on the model chosen.

Seat Height
Seat heights on a heavy duty wheelchair range between 15" and 22" depending on the model chosen.

Back Height
The back height of heavy duty wheelchairs will be within a range of 16" to 26" but usually have some adjustability.

Casters, Wheels and Tires
The rear wheels on this category of wheelchair are normally 24" with solid tires but air tires and air tires with solid inserts are available on some models. I don't recommend air tires on a heavy duty wheelchairs because they can become soft fairly easily making the wheelchair difficult to propel.

Axle Plates
Axle plates are not common on heavy duty wheelchairs but there is at least one model that offers them as an option.

Brakes
Brakes for heavy duty wheelchairs are invariably conventional push to lock or pull to lock with several models offering brake extensions as options.

Armrests
Armrests can be full length or desk length, adjustable height or fixed height but normally will be removable.

Footrests
Heavy duty wheelchairs usually offer either 60° conventional footrests or elevating legrests but there are a couple of models which offer 70° or 80° versions.
