Description
A Drive transport chair is what families mean when they say “the light one I can lift.” Four small wheels, a folding frame, and a caregiver doing the work. It is a bad chair for a person who still self-propels, because there is nothing useful to push on.
Drive sells several transport weights and widths. We confirm which code we are ordering, including the capacity, because “lightweight transport” is a category as much as a single SKU. If the rider needs to move the chair alone for even part of the day, we will say so and quote a self-propel frame instead.

We confirm the current manufacturer specification for the size you need before the order is placed. A different seat width, wheel, or option changes the weight.
Check the lifter’s ability, not only the rider’s weight. The person who puts it in the trunk is part of the specification.
A wheelchair has to match the person. Weight capacity includes the rider and anything carried on the chair. Complex rehab chairs should be sized with an occupational therapist or seating clinician. Figures on this page come from the manufacturer’s published materials and can change. The order form for your configuration is the one we follow.
Configured chairs are built after you approve the quote. Once a manufacturer has started a made-to-measure frame, that build usually cannot be cancelled. Boxed retail chairs are different, and we say so on the quote.
