Drive Medical AeroFly Ultra-Lite Transport Chair
The AeroFly Ultra-Lite Transport Chair is built around a magnesium alloy frame that weighs just 13 lb on its own, about 17 lb with the rear wheels fitted. That makes it one of the lightest transport chairs available in Canada, and easy for a caregiver to lift into a trunk, carry up steps, or manage on travel days.
Despite the feather-light frame, it doesn't cut corners on comfort or control: it ships standard with attendant brakes, padded desk-length arms, flat-free treaded tires, and removable seat and back overlay cushions.
Ultralight Magnesium Alloy Frame
Magnesium alloy delivers the strength of a traditional steel transport chair at a fraction of the weight. Quick-release rear axles and a fold-down backrest let the chair collapse to a compact 10.8" wide x 29" high for storage and transport, and seat-integrated carry handles make lifting simple.
Comfort and Control for Everyday Outings
Attendant brakes give the caregiver confident stopping control. Fixed desk-length arms with molded armrest pads add comfort and durability, while European-style swing-away footrests with ergonomic release levers make transfers easy. The removable, padded seat and back cushions keep the rider comfortable and are simple to clean.
