Bariatric wheelchairs (often referred to as extra wide wheelchairs or heavy duty wheelchairs) are strong enough to accommodate almost any user. Just like lighter, manual chairs, heavy duty models are all foldable and feature armrests and swing-away footrests - but they differ quite a bit in their construction. While lightweight wheelchairs often employ materials like aluminum or titanium alloy, a Wheelchair Bariatric is usually fashioned from steel. Any caregiver or physician treating and providing for bariatric patients must be prepared to deal with the particular situations that arise in treating the obese. Due to their larger size, obese patients must have many aspects of their care taylored to their specific needs. Included among these is the need for a special wheelchair.

Features and Accessories:
- The frame, axles, wheels, and upholstery on a heavy duty wheelchair are reinforced to be able to handle higher weight capacities. They are constructed with durable, long-lasting materials for reliability and long life.
- Padded arm rests increase the comfort of the wheelchair and give the user a place to rest his or her arms. Leg rests provide extra support and keep the user’s feet out of the way. A wheelchair cushion can ease pressure on the back and/or seat while making the chair more comfortable for the user.
- Heavy duty wheelchairs require more strength to push by the caregiver and by the user, if the chair is self-propelled. In some cases, it may be wise for the caregiver to ask for assistance from another person in order to push the wheelchair safely.
- Because heavy duty wheelchairs are wider than standard wheelchairs, they require wider doorways and a larger turning radius. They are also heavier to lift into a vehicle and harder to push uphill.
