The Wheelchair Transport Lightweight Black 17 is designed to provide reliable, everyday mobility with a focus on portability and straightforward operation. It features a sturdy yet lightweight aluminum frame paired with a 17-inch black nylon upholstery seat. The clean, professional look—black frame with black upholstery—helps maintain a discreet, professional appearance in clinics, hospitals, and home environments while prioritizing user comfort and practical needs. The chair is built around a 300 lb weight capacity and a remarkably light 19 lb frame, supporting easy lifting, loading, and maneuvering during transport.

Key specifications and design rationale

• Weight and capacity: Aluminum frame delivers strength without bulk, with a weight of 19 lbs and a maximum user weight of 300 lbs, making the chair durable for a wide range of users and simple to handle for caregivers.
• Wheels and maintenance: The chair uses maintenance‑free composite wheels, contributing to smooth operation and reduced upkeep over time.
• Upholstery and comfort: The black nylon upholstery is comfortable, lightweight, and easy to clean, complemented by padded armrests for added support during transfers and transport.
• Seating and ergonomics: A 17-inch seat width with a 19-inch seat height and a 16-inch seat depth strike a balance between accessibility and support for a broad range of users.
• Transfers and access: Swing‑away footrests on both the 17‑inch size and the overall design enable easier transfers in and out of the chair and better leg positioning when needed.
• Storage and portability: A back release hinge (aluminum casted) allows the back to fold down, enabling a compact folded profile for storage or transport in vehicles and tight spaces.
• Safety and control: Rear wheel locks provide reliable stopping power to secure the chair when positioning it, enhancing safety during transfers and patient handling.

In terms of dimensions, the chair opens to a width of 20 inches and closes to 9 inches with the 17-inch seat. It stands at a total height of 39.5 inches, with a seat‑to‑floor height of 19 inches, a back height of 18 inches, and a seat depth of 16 inches. The overall length, including riggings, is 33 inches. The chair weighs 19 pounds, with a carton shipping weight of 24 pounds, supporting easy handling and logistics in supply environments. These measurements support smooth navigation through standard doorways, hallways, and narrow spaces, making it well suited for travel, clinics, and home use.
