Heavy Duty Electric Wheelchairs

Heavy duty power wheelchairs are similar to standard models in terms of overall features and design, with the biggest difference being their increased weight capacity of 400 pounds, 500 pounds, or more. To support this additional weight, these powerchairs need to be much bigger in size, making them slightly more difficult to transport and store. Heavy duty electric wheelchairs also have larger wheels, motors, and frames, allowing them to easily traverse outdoor surfaces thanks to their superior power and traction.

You may benefit from a heavy-duty electric wheelchair if you:

  2. Will frequently be using the electric wheelchair in outdoor environments
  3. Want additional space, comfort, and stability
