Built for real life

What stands out

●
A 20" seat
20" across and 17.7" deep, which is wider than the 18" to 18.5" this class usually runs, on padded nylon with full-length arms.
●
A low 17.7" seat height
The seat sits at 17.7", so a shorter person reaches the floor and every transfer in and out is a shorter drop.
●
Quick-release fold-down back
The back folds down on a release at each side and the frame folds side to side, so the chair goes flat for a trunk or a closet.
●
Footrests that lift off
They swing away for a transfer and come off the pegs, which takes 13.4" off the depth of the chair.
●
20.9 lbs.
An aluminum frame keeps it light to lift even with the wider seat.
The Hieline Take

Two numbers make the case for the 5023 and both of them are about the seat. It is 20" across, where a transport chair is usually 18" or 18.5", and it sits at 17.7" instead of the usual 20". Wider matters if the standard chair pinches at the hips, and lower matters if you are short, because the feet reach the floor and the drop in and out of the chair is smaller. Everything else is the same sensible aluminum build: a back that folds down on a release at each side, full-length padded arms, locking rear wheels and footrests that swing away and lift off, which takes the chair from 42.1" deep to 28.7". The trade against the 5014 is at the front wheels, 6" here against 8" there, and small casters are what stop dead on a rough sidewalk. Take this one for the seat and take the 5014 for the ground.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • want a wider seat than the usual transport chair, at 20"
  • are shorter and want the seat low enough to reach the floor at 17.7"
  • have someone to push you, for appointments and errands
  • weigh up to 300 lbs.

Look elsewhere if you

  • want to push yourself, because this chair has no hand rims
  • need bigger front wheels for rough ground, in which case the 5014 runs 8" all round
  • sit in the chair all day, because a transport chair is built for getting from A to B
  • weigh more than 300 lbs.
