The Drive Medical Transport Wheelchair is an essential attendant-propelled mobility solution engineered to combine patient comfort, safety, and effortless caregiver maneuvering. Built with a heavy-duty steel frame coated in a durable silver vein finish, this lightweight transport chair supports user weight capacities up to 250 lbs while weighing only 26 lbs. It provides an agile, dependable transport platform designed for moving individuals comfortably through hospital corridors, doctor's offices, clinical rehabilitation rooms, and private homes.
Engineered with space efficiency in mind, the frame collapses down laterally to an ultra-slim 8-inch width using integrated seat folding handles, fitting easily into vehicle trunks, narrow closets, and tight facility storage areas. Patient relaxation during travel is reinforced with cushioned full-length padded armrests and breathable, stain-resistant black nylon upholstery that cleans rapidly with standard wipes. Maintenance-free 8-inch front and rear casters deliver smooth rolling over doorways and uneven surfaces, while swing-away detachable footrests, rear wheel parking locks, and an adjustable safety belt ensure secure, dignified patient transfers.

Usage, Care & Routine Maintenance
To unfold, press downward on the outer seat rails until the frame is fully open and the seat fabric is taut. Always lock both rear wheel locks and rotate the footrests outward before helping a user sit down or stand up. Clean the silver vein steel frame and nylon upholstery with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant; dry completely with a clean towel. Inspect casters and wheel locks weekly to remove hair or lint buildup, and lubricate folding pivot points annually with silicone spray.
