Built for real life

What stands out

●
14" rear wheels with a honeycomb tire
The largest rear wheel on any transport chair we carry. They take the edge off a threshold or a cracked sidewalk without needing air in them.
●
Footrests that set to three heights
15", 16" or 17" from the seat. Most transport chairs give you one height and expect your legs to suit it.
●
18 lbs., or 15 lbs. with the footrests off
Light enough that one person can lift it into a trunk without planning the movement first.
●
Anti-tip wheels
Small wheels behind the rear axle that stop the chair going over backwards on a ramp or a curb.
●
Wheel locks on both rear wheels
Set them before anybody gets in or out. It is the single habit that prevents most transport chair falls.
The Hieline Take

The TravelerLite is the transport chair for somebody who is genuinely going out in it rather than being wheeled down a corridor twice a week. Two things separate it from the cheaper chairs. The 14" rear wheels are the largest on any transport chair we sell, and the difference shows on a raised threshold or a broken sidewalk, where an 8" wheel stops and this one rolls. The footrests then set to three heights, which sounds minor until you watch somebody tall ride with their heels hanging for an hour. At 18 lbs. it is also light for a chair with wheels that size, and pulling the footrests off takes it to 15 lbs., so the trunk lift is a one-person job. The cost is width and money. It is 25.6" across, so a narrow bathroom door is worth measuring, and it is the dearest transport chair in the NOKA range. If the trips are short and smooth, the 5014 does the same job for less.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • have somebody to push the chair
  • need the footrest height set to suit the person's legs
  • cross thresholds or rough ground and want the largest rear wheel we carry
  • weigh up to 300 lbs.

Look elsewhere if you

  • want to push yourself, because this chair has no hand rims
  • need a seat other than 18" wide, because this chair comes in one size
  • have a narrow doorway, because the chair is 25.6" across
  • weigh more than 300 lbs.
