Q. What makes the Medline Shuttle Bariatric Wheelchair extra supportive
for larger users?
A. The Medline Shuttle features a double cross-brace frame, carbon steel
construction, and a massive 850 lbs. weight capacity, offering superior support
and long-lasting durability for bariatric users. Its triple-axle design enhances
both strength and customization.
Q. Is the Medline Shuttle wheelchair easy to transfer in and out of?
A. Yes, this wheelchair is built for convenience. The removable, padded
desk-length arms and detachable elevating leg rests make side transfers and
frontal access much easier for users and caregivers.
Q. Does this bariatric wheelchair come fully assembled?
A. Absolutely! The Medline Shuttle ships fully assembled, so there's no
setup required. Just unbox, unfold, and it's ready to roll.
Q. Can this wheelchair support outdoor and indoor use?
A. Yes, the Medline Shuttle works well indoors and in smoother outdoor
settings. With 8" casters and 24" rear wheels, it’s stable and self-propelling,
though it’s best suited for flat terrain due to its size and weight.
Q. Is the Medline Shuttle foldable for storage or transport?
A. Yes, despite its size, the Medline Shuttle folds for storage or
transport. However, due to its weight of 88 lbs and dimensions, it may require
two people to handle comfortably.
Q. Does this foldable bariatric wheelchair offer adjustable seat height
for different user needs?
A. It does. The triple-axle design allows for hemi-height adjustment, making
it more versatile for users with varied mobility requirements or transfer
preferences.
Q. What material is the upholstery made of, and is it easy to clean?
A. The Medline Extra Wide manual bariatric wheelchair's seat and backrest
are made from latex free, breathable nylon upholstery, which is both durable and
easy to wipe clean—ideal for clinical or home use.
Q. Will this shuttle bariatric wheelchair fit through my home’s doorways?
A. With overall widths ranging from 33.5" (24" seat) to 39.5" (30" seat),
the 24" and 26" models may fit through standard doorways (36" or wider), but the
28" and 30" models are better suited for larger spaces. Measure doorways,
especially in older homes or bathrooms, to ensure smooth navigation. The
foldable design helps with storage.
