Transport Wheelchairs

Transport wheelchairs allow the physically limited and the elderly time out of the house for small durations and errands that are part of everyday life.

One of the most serious concerns among the wheelchair bound isn't their physical affliction, it's their emotional isolation. Unfortunately, many physically disabled and elderly individuals are plagued with loneliness and despair. As a result their stamina as well as their self-esteem suffers. Transport wheelchairs enable the wheelchair bound and elderly to take trips to church, on shopping trips, to visit friends and family and to get to appointments that most of us take for granted as part of our everyday routine.

Transport wheelchairs are light so they are easy to transport. They are also foldable for easy transport in cars and for storage. A transport wheelchair is also a valuable mobility aid for individuals who don't normally require wheelchairs. Users of walkers or canes might find a transport wheelchair is a comfortable alternative when attending lengthy events like weddings or when on sight-seeing vacations.

Transport wheelchairs provide the following advantages:

• Lightweight and easy to push
  
• Cost less ($200+) then most heavy-duty manual and electric wheelchairs
  
• Cost less to maintain thanks to fewer complex parts
  
• Travel and store easier then electric wheelchairs
  
• Help improve stamina, strength and agility as you push
