FAQ Transport Wheelchairs

Wheelchairs are measured by the width and depth of the seat. This is very important because if you are tight on space you need to know that on most wheelchairs you will add 8.5 inches for the wheels. This will give you the actually width of the wheelchair and help you make sure it can go through the door frames at your home. An example would be if you got an 18 inch wheelchair you would add 8.5 inches to the width which would give you 26.5 total inches. Most all the wheelchairs have a depth of 16 inches. We do have some models that have an 18 inch depth option. Your larger baratric wheelchairs or Heavy Duty as they are sometimes called are 22,24 inch typically come with a 20 inch depth.
