Details

Built for a narrow aisle and a stair carry

The chair is 16 in wide, slim enough for aircraft aisles, narrow doorways, and stairwells. A mid-wheel layout is meant to turn in tight spaces. Retractable lifting handles at the front and the rear let two attendants carry the chair on stairs. A deadman-style brake sets itself if the attendant lets go of the handle. Safety belts are included. ABS plastic is used for the seat and back; this listing says that material was chosen to meet FAR fire requirements. The frame folds flat for storage.

Questions about this product

What is the TravelAide 8020 for?

It is a folding aisle transfer chair, slim enough at 16 in wide for aircraft aisles, narrow doorways, and stairwells. A mid-wheel layout is meant to turn in tight spaces. It is not a typical outdoor companion wheelchair. A clinician and the facility or airline should confirm it is the right tool for that aisle and evacuation plan.

How do attendants carry it on stairs?

Retractable lifting handles at the front and the rear let two attendants carry the chair on stairs. A deadman-style brake sets itself if the attendant lets go of the handle. Safety belts are included. The chair is listed at 36 lb with a 300 lb capacity, so two trained attendants are part of the intended use.

How does it fold, and what is the seat made of?

The frame folds flat. Official listing sizes are 32 in long, 16 in wide, and 47 in tall when open, and 47 in long, 16 in wide, and 17 in tall when folded. The wheel track is 16 in. ABS plastic is used for the seat and back; this listing says that material was chosen to meet FAR fire requirements.

Is there a manufacturer warranty on this page?

This listing does not publish a warranty, and an official Columbia Medical or Inspired-by-Drive warranty document for this exact 8020 model was not found, so none is stated here. Ask us if written terms arrive with the chair. A clinician should confirm that this product is appropriate. For questions, call 1-877-861-8000 on weekdays between 9 AM and 6 PM Pacific.

Is there an official manufacturer video?

We searched for an official Columbia Medical or Inspired-by-Drive YouTube video that names the TravelAide, RescueMate, or AisleMaster 8020 and did not find one, so no video is linked here. For questions, call 1-877-861-8000 on weekdays between 9 AM and 6 PM Pacific.
