Transport chairs are specially designed mobility aids that enable the safe and comfortable transport of people who are temporarily or permanently restricted in their mobility. They are characterised by their low weight, compact folded dimensions and ease of handling, which makes them ideal for use in care settings, clinics or at home. The typical transport chairs in this category fold easily and can be stored or transported in a space-saving manner. Unlike a classic wheelchair, transport chairs are designed to be pushed by an accompanying person and are not intended for self-propulsion.
The selection of a suitable transport chair depends on various criteria such as weight, load capacity, seating comfort and dimensions. Common measurements include a seat width of around 46 cm, a seat height of about 48 cm and a seat depth of 43 cm. The overall width is often around 57 cm, which ensures good manoeuvrability. The maximum load capacity is usually around 115 kg.
Transport chairs are available in various colours such as black or silver and have compact folded dimensions, which can be, for example, 27 cm in width, 29 cm in height and 77 cm in length. Brands such as drive and Teqler offer a selection of models that stand out for their quality and functionality. These chairs are made from robust materials and often offer practical features for everyday use.
