Medline Shuttle Extra-Wide Bariatric Wheelchair - 850 lbs Capacity, Removable Arms, Elevating Leg Rests

Premium Bariatric Mobility Solution for Maximum Comfort and Support

The Medline Shuttle Extra-Wide Bariatric Wheelchair represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty mobility engineering, meticulously designed to deliver unparalleled comfort, structural integrity, and user-friendly functionality for bariatric patients and larger-framed individuals. This exceptional wheelchair combines clinical-grade durability with thoughtful ergonomic features to ensure both users and caregivers experience optimal ease of use in daily mobility scenarios.

Engineered for Superior Strength and Stability

At the heart of this bariatric wheelchair lies a robust carbon steel frame reinforced with an innovative double cross-brace structure that provides exceptional stability and longevity even under demanding daily use. This advanced engineering approach ensures the wheelchair maintains its structural integrity while supporting users up to an impressive 850 lbs weight capacity. The triple-axle design not only enhances the overall strength of the frame but also introduces versatility through adjustable positioning options, allowing customization to meet individual user preferences and mobility requirements.

Comfort-Focused Design Elements

Every aspect of the Medline Shuttle has been carefully considered to maximize user comfort throughout extended periods of use. The wheelchair features premium nylon upholstery that is both breathable and durable, ensuring long-lasting performance while maintaining a comfortable seating experience. The attractive gray hammer tone finish adds a sophisticated aesthetic appeal that elevates this medical equipment beyond purely functional design. The latex-free construction makes this wheelchair safe for users with latex sensitivities, expanding its suitability across diverse patient populations.

Enhanced Accessibility and Transfer Convenience

Understanding the challenges faced during transfers, this bariatric wheelchair incorporates removable, padded desk-length armrests that facilitate effortless side transfers and provide comfortable arm support during use. The detachable elevating leg rests offer multiple benefits: they improve circulation, enhance comfort during extended sitting periods, and can be completely removed to simplify frontal access and transfers. These thoughtful features significantly reduce the physical demands on both users and caregivers during daily mobility routines.

Versatile Adjustability for Personalized Fit

The wheelchair's hemi-height adjustable capability combined with its triple-axle design allows for precise customization to accommodate various user heights, transfer preferences, and mobility requirements. This adjustability ensures that whether the user requires lower seat positioning for easier foot propulsion or standard height for optimal ergonomics, the Medline Shuttle can be configured to meet those specific needs. Such versatility makes this wheelchair suitable for a broader range of users and clinical applications.

Practical Mobility Features

Equipped with 8-inch front casters and 24-inch rear wheels, this self-propelling wheelchair offers smooth maneuverability across indoor environments and flat outdoor surfaces. The generous wheel size provides stability while the self-propelling design empowers users with greater independence in their daily movements. Despite its substantial construction and 88 lb weight, the wheelchair features a foldable design that facilitates storage and transportation, though assistance may be beneficial when handling due to its robust build.

Multiple Size Options for Optimal Fit

Available in four seat width configurations—24 inches, 26 inches, 28 inches, and 30 inches—the Medline Shuttle accommodates a wide spectrum of body types and spatial requirements. Each size maintains the same exceptional 850 lbs weight capacity and 20-inch seat depth, with overall widths ranging from 33.5 inches to 39.5 inches depending on the selected seat width. This range of options ensures healthcare facilities and home users can select the precise size that best matches their specific needs and environmental constraints.
