Proactive Medical Protekt Cambria Convertible Wheelchair / Transport Chair Combo
Protekt Cambria Convertible Wheelchair & Transport Combo
High-Strength All-Aluminum 2-in-1 Frame Linked with Tool-Free Quick-Release Drive Wheels
Incorporate absolute travel autonomy, flexible caregiver support, and multi-mode hardware integration into your daily routine with the Protekt Cambria Convertible Wheelchair/Transport Chair Combo. This high-performance hybrid mobility asset functions seamlessly as a traditional, independent self-propelled wheelchair and a streamlined, compact companion transport chair all within a single unified footprint. Available in tailored 16-inch, 18-inch, and 20-inch seat widths, this dual-configuration system is the perfect fit for active users who refuse to burden their travels with multiple heavy, single-purpose pieces of equipment.
The defining clinical advantage of the Protekt Cambria centers on its push-button, quick-release 24-inch rear drive wheels. With a single tool-free compression, the large drive assemblies detach cleanly, allowing the frame to instantly shed significant weight and narrow its layout into a premium transit chair. Once stripped down, the unit rolls beautifully on its secondary built-in 8-inch rear wheels and robust 8-inch front casters, keeping the ride stable and responsive while a deluxe fold-down backrest simplifies packing into tight car trunks.
Key Features & Product Benefits
- Dual-Function Convertible Architecture: Merges a self-propelled manual wheelchair and a companion-led transport chair into a singular cost-effective frame.
- Tool-Free Quick-Release Hubs: Large 24-inch drive wheels unlock and pop off in seconds to instantly scale down frame mass and profile width.
- High-Strength All-Aluminum Core: Premium aircraft-grade alloy chassis ensures exceptional structural rigidity without introducing exhausting lifting weight.
- Dual Sets of Aluminum Wheel Locks: Separate positive-locking manual brake bars are integrated directly over both wheel sizes to ensure safety in either mode.
- Flip-Back Desk-Length Armrests: Shortened arm padding clears dining counters and tables easily, swinging completely back to open a path for lateral transfers.
- Deluxe Fold-Down Backrest Hinge: Dual-lever rear release triggers fold the upper push handles down flat over the seat deck to minimize vertical trunk storage.
- Tool-Free Swing-Away Footrests: Front leg riggings pivot smoothly outward or remove completely, featuring composite footplates and protective heel loops.
- Easy-Clean Breathable Nylon: Double-stitched nylon upholstery contours comfortably to the body, stays cool in summer, and simplifies routine sanitization.
Equipment Specialist Insight: "The Protekt Cambria is an engineering triumph for families who navigate frequent transitions between independent movement and assisted travel. Most traditional 2-in-1 chairs rely on clunky bolt modifications or add-on adapter kits that rattle loose over rough pavement. Proactive Medical integrates a secondary, permanent set of 8-inch wheels directly into the rear aluminum frame structure. This means you can roll into a medical clinic using the 24-inch rims, pop them off instantly in the narrow exam room, and keep moving as a lean transport chair without even shifting the patient out of the seat."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How exactly do you transition the Cambria from a wheelchair to a transport chair?
A: The conversion process is entirely tool-free and takes seconds. Simply locate the push-button pin cap in the exact center of the large 24-inch rear wheel hub, depress it firmly to disengage the internal ball bearings, and slide the axle rod out. The chair instantly drops down onto its built-in secondary 8-inch rear transport wheels, converting into a narrow transit profile.
Q: Why are there two separate sets of aluminum wheel brakes on the frame?
A: Traditional wheel locks can only reach a single, fixed tire diameter. Because the Protekt Cambria operates on two entirely different wheel footprints, Proactive installs two dedicated brake systems. The upper levers lock the large 24-inch drive rims during self-propulsion, while the lower set reaches the compact 8-inch tracking tires to guarantee complete stationary safety when the large wheels are stored away.
Q: How do the flip-back desk-length armrests improve daily comfort and desk alignment?
A: Standard full-length armrests protrude fully forward, blocking the wheelchair from sliding beneath office desks or dining surfaces and forcing users to lean awkwardly forward. The Cambria features a sloped, shortened desk-length profile that clears standard tabletop moldings with ease. For bed or car transitions, simply release the front clip and swing the arm panel backward for an unobstructed lateral transfer.
