Proactive Medical Protekt Cambria Convertible Wheelchair / Transport Chair Combo
Model: Proactive Protekt Cambria 2-in-1 Hybrid Mobility Platform
Availability: In Stock — Ready to Ship
Two Chairs in One, One Simple Conversion
The Protekt Cambria works as a traditional, self-propelled wheelchair and a streamlined companion transport chair in a single frame — no need to travel with two separate pieces of equipment. It supports up to 275 lbs and is available in 16", 18", and 20" seat widths to fit a range of users.
The defining feature is the push-button, quick-release 24" rear drive wheels. A single tool-free press pops them off, instantly narrowing the frame and shedding weight so it rolls smoothly on its built-in secondary 8" rear wheels and 8" front casters as a compact transport chair. A fold-down backrest makes packing into a car trunk easy in either configuration.
Key Features
- Dual-Function Convertible Design: Merges a self-propelled wheelchair and a transport chair into one frame.
- Tool-Free Quick-Release Wheels: Large 24" drive wheels unlock and pop off in seconds to scale down frame mass and width.
- High-Strength Aluminum Frame: Aircraft-grade alloy construction for structural rigidity without excess lifting weight.
- Dual Wheel Locks: Separate braking systems for both the 24" drive wheels and the 8" transport wheels.
- Flip-Back Desk Arms: Clear tables and counters easily, swinging back for lateral transfers.
- Fold-Down Backrest: Dual-lever release folds the push handles flat over the seat for compact trunk storage.
- Tool-Free Swing-Away Footrests: Pivot outward or remove completely, with composite footplates and heel loops.
- Easy-Clean Breathable Nylon: Double-stitched upholstery that stays comfortable and simplifies cleaning.
Specialist Insight: The Cambria solves a real headache for families who move between independent mobility and assisted travel — most 2-in-1 chairs rely on bolt-on adapter kits that rattle loose over time, but this one builds a permanent set of 8-inch wheels directly into the aluminum frame. That means you can roll in on the 24-inch wheels, pop them off in a tight exam room, and keep moving as a lean transport chair without shifting the person out of the seat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you convert the Cambria from a wheelchair to a transport chair?
A: It's tool-free and takes seconds. Depress the push-button pin cap in the center of the 24" rear wheel hub to disengage the ball bearings, then slide the axle rod out. The chair drops onto its built-in 8" transport wheels, converting to a narrow transit profile.
Q: Why are there two separate sets of wheel brakes?
A: Standard wheel locks only fit one tire diameter. Because the Cambria runs on two different wheel sets, it has two dedicated brake systems — one for the 24" drive wheels and one for the 8" transport wheels — so it's always secure regardless of configuration.
Q: How do the flip-back desk arms help with tables and desks?
A: Standard armrests can block the chair from sliding under a table. The Cambria's shortened desk-length arms clear standard tabletop heights, and release forward to swing back for an unobstructed lateral transfer.
