Lightweight Transport Wheelchairs & Companion Chairs
Looking for a lightweight wheelchair at a great price? We have a solid option: lightweight transport wheelchairs. Utilizing smaller wheels and lightweight materials, these wheelchairs can weight as little as 15 lbs. And, starting at under $100, transport wheelchairs offer mobility at a very affordable price.
A transport wheelchair or folding transport chair is a wheelchair that is defined by its four small wheels - it does not have the traditional large 24” rear wheels that most wheelchairs have.
The transport chair was designed exclusively to transport people in a wheelchair for short trips to the Dr, restaurant, and traveling on a trip. Note: when sitting in a transport chair the person sitting in the chair cannot self propel in the chair, they will always need to be pushed by a cargiver. Because a transport wheelchair does not have large rear wheels it is much lighter than a traditional wheelchair making it super easy to lift into a car.
Another great feature of the folding transport wheelchair is that in addition to the chair collapsing and folding, most transport chairs’ back folds down thus creating a super small and tight footprint when storing the chair in a car or a closet.
Here are some things to consider when buying a folding transport wheelchair
- Chair Weight - the lighter the chair teh easier it is to lift and to push - we recommend a transport chair that weighs under 20 lbs.
- Comfort - some transport wheelchairs have ergonomic seating and back for extra comfort and posture
The Medline ultra light 14.8 lbs transport chair is our lightest transport chair.

Note: all transport wheelchair fold into any car trunk or closet.
