Profile: Besco Medical is a manufacturer of manual wheelchairs and semi-electric beds. A transport wheelchair is designed to only be propelled by someone and not the patient themselves. The chair is usually light weight ranging from 16lbs to 26lbs depending on the weight capacity and features of the chair. Bariatric wheelchairs tend to weigh more. Most transport chairs have four small wheels instead of the conventional two small wheels in the front and two large wheels in the back. Aluminum casted back release hinge allows back to fold down for easy storage and transport.
