Drive Medical 22″ Bariatric Aluminum Transport Chair
The Drive Medical 22″ Bariatric Aluminum Transport Chair is a heavy-duty mobility solution designed to provide comfortable attendant-assisted transportation for users who require a wider seat and increased weight capacity. Its aluminum frame combines strength with manageable product weight, while the reinforced upholstery, large rear wheels, padded armrests, and safety features provide dependable support for everyday mobility.
The red ATC22-R model features a spacious 22-inch-wide seat, supports users up to 450 lb, and weighs approximately 33 lb. It also includes 12-inch rear flat-free wheels, swing-away footrests, anti-tippers, a seat belt, companion-activated wheel locks, and a folding back for easier storage and transportation.
Heavy-Duty Bariatric Design
The Drive Medical 22″ Bariatric Aluminum Transport Chair is specifically designed for users who require additional seating width and a higher weight capacity than many standard transport chairs.
Its 22-inch-wide seat and 450 lb maximum weight capacity provide additional space and support while maintaining the convenience of an attendant-propelled transport chair.
This makes it a practical option for home care, medical appointments, rehabilitation, community outings, and other situations where dependable assisted mobility is required.
Lightweight Aluminum Frame
Despite its heavy-duty design, the transport chair uses an aluminum frame and weighs approximately 33 lb according to Drive Medical.
The aluminum construction helps keep the chair more manageable for caregivers when repositioning, folding, transporting, or storing the unit.
This balance of increased capacity and manageable product weight makes the chair suitable for users who need bariatric support without moving to an unnecessarily heavy mobility device.
Spacious 22-Inch Seat
A 22″ wide × 18″ deep seat provides additional seating room compared with many standard transport chairs.
The seat-to-floor height is approximately 21 inches, while the chair has a back height of approximately 16 inches.
The wider seating area can provide a more appropriate fit for users who require additional space and support during transportation.
Heavy-Duty Reinforced Upholstery
The Drive Medical 22″ Bariatric Aluminum Transport Chair uses heavy-duty nylon-reinforced upholstery designed for durability and everyday use.
The seating material provides a supportive surface while still allowing the chair to fold for transportation and storage.
Wellwise also identifies carry handles incorporated into the folded seating area, helping make the folded chair easier to handle during transportation.
12-Inch Rear Flat-Free Wheels
The transport chair features 12-inch rear flat-free wheels designed to provide dependable rolling performance without the maintenance concerns associated with pneumatic tires.
The larger rear wheels help provide smooth attendant-assisted movement over common indoor and outdoor surfaces.
The chair also includes front casters and a four-wheel configuration for everyday maneuverability.
Attachable Push Bar with Padded Grip
An attachable push bar with a padded foam grip provides attendants and caregivers with a comfortable control point when pushing the transport chair.
The push-bar configuration helps support controlled maneuvering during appointments, community outings, rehabilitation visits, and everyday transportation.
Companion-Activated Wheel Locks
The Drive Medical 22″ Bariatric Aluminum Transport Chair includes companion-activated wheel locks as well as hand wheel-lock levers.
These controls allow the attendant to help manage the chair during use and secure it when appropriate.
Users and caregivers should always confirm that the wheel-lock system is functioning properly before using the chair.
Swing-Away Footrests
Swing-away footrests are included to provide lower-leg and foot support during transportation.
Their swing-away design also helps create additional clearance when a user is entering or exiting the chair.
Always move the footrests out of the transfer path before the user attempts to sit down or stand up.
Padded Armrests
Padded armrests provide additional comfort and upper-body support while the user is seated.
The armrests help create a supportive seating position and provide convenient contact points during everyday transport.
The space between the armrest pads is approximately 22 inches, complementing the wider bariatric seating configuration.
Folding Back for Storage and Transportation
The chair’s backrest folds down to reduce its overall profile during transportation and storage.
When closed, Drive Medical lists the chair at approximately 12 inches wide, allowing it to take up considerably less space than when fully opened.
This folding design can be especially helpful when transporting the chair in a vehicle or storing it at home between uses.
Seat Belt and Anti-Tippers
The transport chair comes equipped with a seat belt as an additional positioning and safety feature.
Anti-tippers are also included to provide additional rearward stability when the chair is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Users and attendants should become familiar with all safety features before regular use.
450 lb Weight Capacity
The Drive Medical 22″ Bariatric Aluminum Transport Chair supports users weighing up to 450 lb.
Users should remain within this maximum capacity and routinely inspect the frame, wheels, upholstery, footrests, armrests, wheel locks, seat belt, and folding components to ensure the chair remains secure and in proper working condition.
Everyday Assisted Mobility
The combination of a wider seat, increased weight capacity, aluminum construction, large rear wheels, padded armrests, swing-away footrests, and folding design makes this transport chair suitable for a range of assisted mobility situations.
It can be used for medical appointments, rehabilitation, shopping, community outings, travel, and home-care situations where a caregiver or attendant is available to propel the chair.
