FAQs
Q: What's the difference between the 20-inch and 22-inch seat widths?
A: The 22-inch model provides 2 inches additional seat room and weighs 4 lbs more (49 lbs vs 45 lbs). Both support 450 lbs capacity. Choose based on hip width and comfort preference.
Q: Can the arms be completely removed for side transfers?
A: Yes, the desk-length arms detach entirely without tools, allowing caregivers to slide users laterally from bed or commode directly onto the seat for safer transfer assistance.
Q: Will this wheelchair fit through standard doorways when open?
A: The 20-inch model measures 24.5 inches open width, and the 22-inch measures 26.5 inches open. Both fit through ADA-compliant 32-inch doorways with clearance to spare.
Q: How do I fold the wheelchair for vehicle transport?
A: Remove footrests if needed, then lift the seat upward from the center. The frame collapses to 9 inches (20-inch model) or 11.5 inches (22-inch model) for trunk or van storage.
