Best Heavy Duty Wheelchairs

A standard wheelchair can accommodate individuals up to 300 lbs. For those over 300 pounds, a heavy-duty wheelchair is the best option. In addition to being capable of transporting individuals over 300 pounds, they also come equipped with a wider seat to make using the wheelchair more comfortable for bigger users. Consider one of these heavy-duty wheelchairs for you or your loved one.
