Also known as heavy duty wheelchairs, they are low maintenance and cost effective. Bariatric Wheelchairs combine long-term performance with reliability. The major difference that heavy duty wheelchairs hold against standard manual wheelchairs is their weight capacity. Bariatric wheelchairs have a weight capacity of up to 700 lbs and seat width of up to 30 inches that could fit almost any individual.
