Reinforced steel for a higher capacity
Two cross braces reinforce the steel frame. Drive rates the chair for 450 lb. Twelve-inch flat-free rear wheels and companion-activated locks let a caregiver park the chair. Padded desk-length arms come off and can be reversed for a closer approach to a table or a side transfer. Swing-away footrests and a pocket on the back of the reinforced nylon sling are included.

- From front to back with the riggings on: 38 in. Overall height: 37 in. Official overall: 38 in long with riggings, 26.5 in wide open and 11.5 in closed, 37 in tall.

Questions about this product
What capacity and seat size does the Drive Heavy-Duty chair have?
Official Drive figures list a 450 lb capacity and a 22 in-wide, 18 in-deep seat. The chair itself weighs 49 lb. Seat-to-floor is 19.5 in and the back is 16 in. This listing is the 22 in red-frame SKU, BTR22-R.
How is the frame reinforced?
Drive builds this chair on steel with two cross braces. That is the structure behind the 450 lb rating. It is a heavier companion chair than Drive’s aluminum models — 49 lb — so plan on a second person when lifting it into a vehicle.
Can the arms come off for a side transfer?
Yes. The padded desk-length arms come off and can be reversed. Swing-away footrests and a pocket on the back of the reinforced nylon sling are included. Twelve-inch flat-free rear wheels and companion-activated locks are standard. 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.
What warranty does Drive publish?
The official Drive Medical BTR22 product page on shop.drivemedical.com lists a limited lifetime warranty for this model. Those official terms are used here. 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.
Who should confirm this chair is appropriate?
A clinician who knows the rider’s weight, hip width, and transfers, and who can confirm that a companion will push a 49 lb steel chair. The 22 in seat is wider than a standard 18 or 19 in transport seat. For questions, call 1-877-861-8000 on weekdays between 9 AM and 6 PM Pacific.
