TranSport Aluminum Transport Chair FlipBack-RemArms

Why Choose TranSport Aluminum Transport Chair with Flip-Back Removable Arms

At 17.5 lbs without footrests, the TranSport is one of the lightest full-featured transport chairs available — a meaningful specification for caregivers who load and unload from vehicles repeatedly throughout the week. Aluminum construction achieves this weight reduction without the frame flex of lighter polymer alternatives, and the Limited Lifetime Frame Warranty reflects that structural confidence. The flip-back removable desk-length arms are the functional differentiator from standard fixed-arm transport chairs: standard arms require the user to step over or around the arm for lateral transfers, creating a fall risk and transfer difficulty that flip-back arms eliminate entirely. Desk-length arm pads also provide a closer approach to tables, counters, and workspaces during seated use. Frame magnets hold footrests securely against the chair during carrying — a practical detail that prevents footrests from swinging loose and tangling during vehicle loading. The 10-inch closed width and two-way back release enable fast, compact folding for tight vehicle boots and narrow storage spaces. Rear wheel locks engage quickly for stable transfers. 19-inch seat width with 16-inch depth accommodates a practical range of users at the 250 lb capacity.

Usage & Care

Unfold fully and confirm rear wheel locks are engaged before transfer. Swing footrests away or remove before lateral transfer; reattach after seating. The frame magnets hold footrests in position during carrying — confirm footrests are magnetically secured before lifting. Flip back arm pads to allow lateral approach; re-engage after seating. Use the two-way back release for fast folding. Wipe aluminum frame with a damp cloth; clean upholstery with a mild fabric cleaner. Inspect wheel locks, folding mechanism, and arm attachments regularly. Service through an authorised Drive Medical dealer.
