Transit wheelchair is used by those users who can not use a standard wheelchair. The transit wheelchair is equipped with small rear wheels and are generally built to be folded to save space. A folding chair is beneficial when space is a problem, storing or transporting them is not a problem due to their compact size when folded.

Wheelchairs has an array of features to make it one of the most practical, comfortable and reliable occasional use wheelchairs available. The attendant handbrake is an extremely useful feature in conjuction with the main lockable brakes near the rear wheels.

A transit chair has smaller rear wheels which make them lighter and more compact than their counterparts. Transit wheelchairs are a great option for customers who want to move somebody else using the rear push handles. Some manufacturers have countered this as best as possibly by making the rear wheel larger than normal- but not so large that it addstoo much weight. Rear wheels of a transit wheelchair can vary between 8 and 16 inches in diameter . These chairs are slightly less expensive for their weight which makes them a good option when a lightweight chair is required, the occupant doesn't deem self-propelling a necessity and funds are limited.
