Standard Manual Wheelchair - 22"
A 22 inch wide manual wheelchair on a folding steel frame, rated to 400 lbs, for users who need more room than a standard width chair allows.
Why this one
400 lb capacity
Rated to 400 lbs, so it suits users who exceed the limits of a standard width frame without moving to a specialist rehab chair.
22 inch seat width
A 22 inch seat gives room for a broader user, where a narrower chair causes pressure at the hips and makes propelling harder.
Adjustable seat height
Seat height adjusts between 17.5 and 19.5 inches, so the chair can be lowered for a shorter user or for foot propelling.
Maintenance free tires
Solid flat free tires mean no punctures and no pressure to check, which suits a chair in daily or shared use.
Removable arms
Desk length armrests lift off, so side transfers are easier and the chair pulls up properly to a table or desk.
Swing-away footrests
Footrests swing away and lift off entirely, with flip-up footplates that adjust for height as leg length requires.
Wipe-clean upholstery
Embossed PVC upholstery wipes down easily and resists moisture, which matters for shared or frequently transported chairs.
Elevating legrest option
Elevating legrests are available as an option where a leg needs supporting in extension, for swelling or after surgery.
About this product
A 22 inch manual wheelchair on a folding steel frame, rated to 400 lbs. The wider seat and the higher capacity go together: this is the chair for someone who would be pinched at the hips in a standard width frame, and it is built rugged rather than light.
It can be propelled by the user or pushed by a caregiver, so it covers both independent and assisted mobility. The steel frame and solid tires mean very little maintenance, which is why chairs of this type are also used as loaner and institutional wheelchairs where they take heavy use over many years.
What it is and is not for
This is a well made chair for shorter trips, appointments, outings and general transport. If someone is in a wheelchair all day and propelling themselves, a lighter frame with adjustable seating will serve them far better over time, and is likely to be funded under a different ADP category. We would rather tell you that before you buy than after.
Setting it up
Seat height adjusts between 17.5 and 19.5 inches, supplied at the higher setting, so it can be brought down for someone shorter or for anyone who propels with their feet. Armrests are removable and desk length, which makes side transfers and pulling up to a table easier. Footrests swing away and lift off, with flip-up footplates that adjust for height. Elevating legrests are available as an option.
