Description
Drive Medical Silver Sport Recliner Wheelchair
The Drive Medical Silver Sport Recliner Wheelchair is a durable manual reclining wheelchair designed for users who require additional positioning support beyond a traditional upright wheelchair. Its hydraulic reclining system allows the backrest to be adjusted through a wide range of positions, while the included headrest extension, elevating leg rests, full-length padded armrests, and anti-tippers provide a supportive mobility solution for everyday home-care and clinical use.
The SSP18RBDFAV configuration features an 18″ wide × 16″ deep seat, detachable full-length arms, vinyl upholstery, swing-away elevating leg rests, a silver-vein steel frame, and a maximum user weight capacity of 300 lb.
Hydraulic Reclining Backrest
A major feature of the Drive Medical Silver Sport Recliner Wheelchair is its hydraulic reclining mechanism.
The backrest can be adjusted through a wide range of positions, including recline up to approximately 180 degrees. This provides greater positioning flexibility than a standard fixed-back manual wheelchair.
The reclining function can be particularly useful when a user needs to change position throughout the day or requires additional postural support.
Headrest Extension and Head Support
Drive includes a headrest extension with a cushioned head immobilizer as standard equipment.
When the wheelchair is reclined, the extended back and head-support system provides additional support above the standard backrest.
The standard back height is approximately 21 inches, increasing to approximately 31 inches with the headrest installed.
Swing-Away Elevating Leg Rests
The wheelchair includes swing-away elevating leg rests with metal footplates.
The elevating design allows the legs to be positioned higher when appropriate, while the swing-away function makes it easier to clear the front of the wheelchair during transfers.
The leg rests should always be properly adjusted and secured before use.
Detachable Full-Length Armrests
This specific SSP18RBDFAV configuration includes detachable full-length padded armrests.
The full-length design provides support along the user’s forearm while seated, while the detachable design can make transfers and positioning more convenient when side access is required.
Drive also incorporates arm support extensions that are designed to provide additional support when the wheelchair is placed into a reclining position.
Durable Steel Frame
The Drive Medical Silver Sport Recliner Wheelchair uses a carbon-steel frame with a silver-vein finish.
Steel construction provides a strong foundation for the reclining seating system, while the silver-vein finish offers a clean appearance that is relatively easy to maintain.
The complete wheelchair weighs approximately 60 lb and supports users weighing up to 300 lb.
Easy-Clean Vinyl Upholstery
The seat and back are covered with durable vinyl upholstery.
Drive describes the material as lightweight, comfortable, and easy to clean, which can be particularly useful in home-care, rehabilitation, and institutional environments where equipment may require regular cleaning.
18″ × 16″ Seating Area
This model provides an 18-inch-wide × 16-inch-deep seat.
The seat-to-floor height is approximately 20.5 inches, providing a conventional seating position for many adult wheelchair users.
Because proper wheelchair sizing is important for comfort, posture, and safe mobility, users should confirm that the 18″ seat width is appropriate for their individual requirements.
Composite Mag-Style Wheels
The wheelchair uses composite Mag-style rear wheels, which are designed to be lightweight and relatively low maintenance.
Precision-sealed wheel bearings are used in both the front and rear wheels to support smooth operation and long-term performance.
The wheelchair also features 8-inch front casters for everyday maneuverability.
Anti-Tip Design
Drive positions the rear wheels farther back on the frame to help reduce tipping risk when the wheelchair is reclined.
In addition, rear anti-tippers are included as standard equipment on this reclining wheelchair.
These features are especially important because reclining changes the user’s centre of gravity compared with a conventional upright wheelchair.
Push-to-Lock Wheel Locks
The wheelchair comes equipped with push-to-lock wheel locks.
The wheel locks should be engaged whenever appropriate, particularly during transfers or while the chair is stationary.
Users and caregivers should routinely inspect the wheel locks and other moving components to ensure they remain correctly adjusted and functional.
Folding Frame for Storage
Despite its reclining design, the wheelchair can still be folded for storage or transportation.
Drive lists the folded dimensions at approximately 50″ L × 12″ W × 50″ H, compared with an assembled overall width of approximately 25 inches for this 18″ configuration.
This can help reduce the space required when the wheelchair is temporarily stored.
300 lb Weight Capacity
The Drive Medical Silver Sport Recliner Wheelchair supports a maximum user weight of 300 lb when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Users and caregivers should regularly inspect the frame, upholstery, wheels, casters, reclining mechanism, armrests, leg rests, wheel locks, head support, and anti-tip components.
Designed for Supportive Mobility
A reclining wheelchair can be useful when a standard upright manual wheelchair does not provide sufficient positioning flexibility.
The Silver Sport Recliner combines manual mobility with adjustable back positioning, elevating leg support, head support, and a durable steel frame in one wheelchair.
For proper fit and configuration, users should consider seat width, seat depth, positioning requirements, transfer needs, and overall mobility requirements before choosing a wheelchair.
