The Titus Bariatric Wheelchair (manufactured by Proactive Medical) is a heavy-duty mobility solution designed to accommodate patients requiring wider seat dimensions and higher weight capacities. Built with a reinforced “slide tube” steel frame, it provides exceptional durability for clinical and home use. Its most notable feature is the dual axle design, which allows the seat height to be easily lowered to a “hemi-level” for residents who prefer to propel the chair using their feet.
Key Features
Reinforced Steel Frame: Features a heavy-duty, silver vein steel frame with a slide tube design for maximum structural integrity and a weight capacity of up to 700 lbs.
Dual Axle Versatility: The standard dual axle allows for easy transition from a standard seat height (20.5″) to a hemi-level (18.5″), making it more accessible for shorter users or those who foot-propel.
Infinite Elevating Legrests: Optional elevating legrests are equipped with a pneumatic piston, allowing for tool-free, infinite positioning to help manage edema and improve circulation.
Customizable Comfort: Available with either desk-length or full-length removable padded armrests, as well as heavy-duty padded upholstery that is easy to clean and disinfect.
Large Semi-Pneumatic Casters: The 8″ x 2″ front casters are adjustable in 3 positions, providing a smoother ride over uneven surfaces compared to standard solid casters.
High-Capacity Footplates: Models with 28″ and 30″ seat widths come with extra-wide aluminum footplates to ensure stable and comfortable support for larger users.
