Serious Capacity, Without Sacrificing Comfort
Bariatric mobility support needs to be genuinely engineered for higher weights, not just a standard wheelchair stretched to its limit. The Medline Shuttle Extra-Wide Bariatric Wheelchair is purpose-built for that, with a double cross-brace frame delivering real structural support and durability rated to an 850 lb. weight capacity.
Removable padded armrests and leg rests make getting in and out of the chair significantly easier, while a hemi-height adjustable triple-axle design allows the seat height to be fine-tuned to the user. The attractive gray hammertone finish and comfortable nylon upholstery give this heavy-duty chair a more polished look than many bariatric options, without compromising on the engineering that matters most. Available across four seat widths to fit a range of body sizes.

Choosing the right seat width matters more for a bariatric chair than a standard one, since both comfort and long-term skin health depend on a properly fitted seat rather than one that's simply "big enough." A seat that's too narrow can cause pressure points and skin breakdown, while one that's too wide can allow the body to shift unsupported during transport. Measuring hip width at the widest point, then adding roughly 1-2 inches of clearance, is the standard approach for finding the right size across this 24"-30" range. The hemi-height adjustable triple-axle design also allows for some seat-height fine-tuning once the width is selected, giving an added layer of custom fit.
