Reinforced Strength with Room to Move
Get maximum structural stability and generous seating room with the Titus Bariatric Wheelchair Series. Built for users and caregivers who need extra reinforcement during daily, high-use routines, the industrial carbon steel frame features a double-reinforced build, dual cross-braces, and heavy-duty steel gussets welded at every critical weight-bearing point to prevent frame flex. Weight capacity varies by seat width and armrest configuration — see the specifications table below for the exact rating on your selection.
The standout feature of this model is its tool-free swing-away footrests, paired with wide-profile comfort seating available from 22" to 30". The front riggings include extra-wide aluminum footplates and built-in heel loops for smooth entries and exits. Maintenance-free composite mag rear wheels and flat-free urethane tires keep the ride steady across sidewalks and indoor floors alike.
Key Features
- Dual Cross-Brace Frame: Reinforced steel joints and heavy-duty gussets distribute heavy loads uniformly for zero-flex stability.
- Tool-Free Swing-Away Footrests: Unlock and pivot outward smoothly to clear space for entries and exits.
- Anti-Sag Heavy-Duty Upholstery: Double-stitched, dual-embossed flame-retardant black nylon resists stretching under continuous high-pressure use.
- Removable Armrest Assemblies: Lift away completely for quick, unobstructed lateral transfers and easy access to workspaces.
- Flat-Free Polyurethane Tires: 24" composite rear mag wheels and 8" x 2" solid rubber front casters eliminate puncture risk.
- Premium Silver-Vein Powder Coat: Industrial finish resists chips, scratches, and everyday scuffs while staying easy to sanitize.
- Push-to-Lock Wheel Locks: Accessible manual lever locks for dependable stationary positioning.
Equipment Specialist Insight: The Titus series sets a strong structural standard for high-capacity manual transit. Many wide-profile chairs struggle with alignment drift or frame flex over time, but the Titus uses reinforced steel gussets and dual underside crossbars to hold a rigid tracking line. The real day-to-day advantage is in the details — the tool-free swing-away footrests clear space instantly for tight transfers, and the removable arm assemblies let the chair pull flush to any desk or table.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does weight capacity vary between the Desk Arm and Full Arm versions?
A: Capacity is rated per width and armrest configuration together, not by width alone. For example, the 26" Desk Arm model is rated to 700 lbs, while the 26" Full Arm model is rated to 500 lbs. Always check the rating for the specific width and armrest combination you're ordering.
Q: How do the tool-free swing-away footrests help during transfers?
A: Rigid front riggings can create a trip hazard during entry or exit. A tool-free release latch lets you swing the footplates 90 degrees out of the way for a clear path, or remove them entirely from the alignment pins to reduce bulk when packing a vehicle.
Q: Can the armrests be removed for close workspace access?
A: Yes. Both the Desk Arm and Full Arm configurations use a quick-release latching system, so the arms detach completely from the frame and the chair can pull flush against desks, tables, or countertops.
