The arms are full length and fixed to the frame, so a rider can put their weight on them to stand up. They do not lift away, so a sideways transfer to a bed or a car seat means going over the arm rather than around it.

Overview
Fixed full length arms on a dual axle steel frame Two seat widths, 300 lbs. capacity, 24" self propel wheels

Arms that stay where they are, for a rider who pushes up on them to stand.

Built for real life

What stands out

●
Arms that do not move
The full length arms are bolted to the frame. A rider can put their whole weight on them to stand, and nothing unlatches when the chair is lifted or pushed over a kerb.
●
Dual axle positions
Moving the rear axle sets the seat at 18" or 20" from the floor. A shorter rider gets their feet flat on the ground, and a taller one gets clearance under a table.
●
24" rear wheels for self propelling
The rear wheels carry handrims, so a rider with working arms and shoulders can move the chair without an attendant.
●
Easy Adjust foot riggings
The footrests swing out and lift off without tools, which clears the front of the chair for a standing transfer and shortens the chair for the trunk.
●
Vinyl that wipes clean
The seat and back are flame retardant black vinyl. A dry cloth takes care of most of it, which matters on a chair used after meals or outdoors.
●
Folds to under 11 inches
The 18" chair folds to 11" across and the 16" chair to 10.75", so it will stand in a hall closet or lie flat in a car.
The Hieline Take

Fixed arms are the right answer when a rider stands up out of the chair and sits back down in it several times a day, because there is nothing to work loose and nothing to unlatch. They are the wrong answer when most transfers are sideways onto a bed, a toilet or a car seat, and that is worth settling before the chair arrives rather than after. If sideways transfers are the daily pattern, our removable arm chairs cost about the same and the arms lift out. Our Nova Steel Wheelchair with Vinyl Upholstery lists at $314.95 at both widths, level with this chair at 18" and $5 under it at 16". At 34.5 lbs. this chair is heavy to lift into a car trunk on your own, and it folds to under 11" wide, so it will go behind a front seat or along a trunk floor.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • A rider who stands up out of the chair and sits back down in it during the day
  • Someone who wants to self propel on 24" rear wheels rather than be pushed
  • A household that needs the chair to fold flat and go in a car
  • A rider between 300 lbs. and nothing, at a 16" or 18" seat width

Look elsewhere if you

  • Anyone whose transfers are mostly sideways onto a bed, a toilet or a car seat, because these arms do not lift out of the way
  • A rider over 300 lbs.
  • Anyone who needs a seat wider than 18"
  • Someone who has to lift the chair alone and cannot manage about 35 lbs.
  • A rider who needs anti-tippers fitted from the factory
