Product Description

Transporting a loved one shouldn't mean struggling with heavy equipment or compromising on stability. The Drive Medical Expedition Aluminum Transport Wheelchair for home use delivers exceptional portability at just 19 pounds while supporting up to 300 pounds, making it the lightest transport chair in its weight class for caregivers managing daily mobility needs. Available in durable powder-coated Blue or Red finishes, this lightweight companion chair combines rugged frame durability with swift maneuverability across both indoor living spaces and outdoor paths.

Caregiver steering control and passenger peace of mind sit at the center of the Expedition engineering design. Unlike ordinary small-wheel companion chairs, this model integrates oversized 12-inch flat-free rear composite wheels with non-marring tread that roll smoothly over outdoor curb seams, doorway thresholds, gravel transitions, and plush indoor carpets. Ergonomic push handles incorporate companion-activated hand brakes paired with positive wheel locks, enabling caregivers to control downhill rolling speeds and secure the chair completely on slopes or during seated transfers. Featuring a flat-folding backrest triggered by an intuitive rear lever, padded armrests, swing-away footrests, a standard safety seatbelt, and wipe-clean black nylon sling upholstery, this transport chair folds into a flat profile for quick vehicle trunk loading and closet storage.

Simple Setup, Folding & Routine Maintenance

To unfold the wheelchair, place hands on the outer seat rail tubes and push downward until the frame opens fully flat and the nylon seat is taut. Lift the attendant push handles upward until the rear folding hinge clicks firmly into upright position. Slide the swing-away footrests onto the front frame receiver pins and swing them inward until the spring locks snap into place. To fold for transit, unhook the footrests, squeeze the backrest release lever behind the upholstery to fold the back forward, and pull upward on the center of the seat sling. Always engage the companion parking wheel locks before assisting someone into or out of the chair. Keep the aluminum frame and nylon upholstery clean by wiping surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap or non-bleach disinfectant wipes, drying completely with a clean towel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are 12-inch rear wheels better than standard 8-inch wheels?

The larger 12-inch composite wheels roll over sidewalk bumps, doorway thresholds, and lawn grass with less pushing resistance for caregivers.

How do the companion-activated hand brakes operate on slopes?

The levers on the push handles let caregivers squeeze to slow downhill rolling speed and lock the wheels stationary when stopped on ramps.

How does the flat-folding backrest simplify trunk storage?

Depressing the rear release lever drops the push handles forward flush against the seat, cutting vertical height to fit into car trunks.

Does this 19 lb transport chair require complicated assembly?

No, the chair arrives mostly assembled; you simply unfold the frame, raise the push handles until locked, and attach the footrests.

How do you sanitize the powder-coated frame and nylon seat?

Wipe surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and warm water or standard hospital disinfectant wipes, then towel-dry cleanly.
