The weight of the transport chair varies according to type. If you’re looking for the lightest transport chair, the Ultralight Transport Chair- a 19” wide seat weighs around 15 pounds without footrests. Most lightweight wheelchairs weigh 25 pounds or less. However, some transport wheelchairs weigh 35 pounds or more.
Transport chairs are typically lighter than standard wheelchairs because they lack bulky wheelchair accessories like padded armrests, seat cushions, and backrests. As a result, you should factor in accessories and add-ons to your transport wheelchair’s overall weight.
