Manual Wheelchair FAQ

What is the lightest manual wheelchair you carry?

The Human Care Featherweight weighs just 13.5 lbs. The Drive Lynx Ultra Lightweight and the Drive AeroFly Ultra-Lite are also popular lightweight manual wheelchairs.

Should I buy a manual wheelchair or a transport chair?

Choose a manual wheelchair if the user will push themselves, since its large rear wheels make self-propelling possible. Choose a transport chair if a caregiver will always push, because it is lighter and folds smaller.

What seat width do I need?

Measure across the widest part of the hips while seated and add about 1 to 2 inches. Most adults fit a 16 or 18 inch seat, while heavy-duty models start at 20 inches.

Do you carry heavy-duty or bariatric manual wheelchairs?

Yes, including the Drive Bariatric Sentra EC Heavy-Duty Wheelchair with a 20 inch seat. Call us for the weight capacity of each model so we can match it to the rider.

Do you have wheelchairs for children?

Yes. The Drive Viper Jr is a lightweight pediatric wheelchair available in 12 and 14 inch seat widths.

What do desk arms, swing-away footrests and elevating legrests mean?

Desk arms are shorter armrests that let you roll close to a table. Swing-away footrests move to the side for easier transfers. Elevating legrests raise the legs for comfort or swelling.

Can I rent a manual wheelchair?

Yes. See our manual wheelchair rentals in Toronto and the GTA, with same-day pickup at our Concord showroom.
