Heavy Duty Folding Power Wheelchair for Larger Persons
Often, being disabled does not decrease one's appetite in the least. It does, however, significantly limit mobility, and losing weight after landing in a wheelchair can be hard. If you are an individual trying to lose weight but still in need of a wheelchair that offers portability and mobility, consider a heavy duty folding power wheelchair.
These wheelchairs are a little more expensive than standard-sized power wheelchairs. The cost for these chairs starts at about $5,000. They are, however, very sturdy, and built to accommodate larger frames. Many of these chairs will safely seat people with weight limits of up to 450 pounds.
Another consideration with heavy duty power chairs is that they are heavy. Many of these power wheelchairs weigh up to 350 pounds. If you plan to purchase one, you might also consider investing in a van with a power lift, so that transportation will be easier.
Although they are weighty, folding these wheelchairs is possible. If they must be transported without a power lift, users can separate them into six parts. The fact that these are a bit more complex than the average folding power wheelchair, however, means that you will probably require assistance to disassemble and reassemble them before and after transport.
Purchasers may select from a variety of several different colors and cushions to customize their wheelchairs. Other customizable features include accessories, armrests, and footrests. Power seats are also available on these heavy duty wheelchairs for an additional average cost of $1,150.
Tire and seat design options can also be added to these power folding wheelchairs for an additional cost. Further, customers can opt to add batteries to their chair if they require a continuous source of electricity. Ventilator-dependent users, for example, require this option.
One other feature that can be easily modified is the controller. Heavy duty wheelchairs, like other power wheelchairs, can be modified to provide the control on either the left or the right side of the chair. Retractable controllers are also available at an additional charge.
If you have a larger frame, don't be deterred from seeking the level of comfort and mobility that will best allow you to maintain your independence. Heavy duty folding power wheelchairs are available. Although they may be more costly than standard power chairs, insurance companies still pay a significant percentage of the charge. Your out-of-pocket cost will increase, but isn't your freedom worth that small price?

Can I replace air suspension with heavy duty shocks?
My 2000 Expedition has the rear air bag suspension. One bag has a leak and is causing a major "droop" in the back suspension (looks like a low rider). The "droop" comes and goes, but is becoming more of a problem. Rather than the expense of replacing the air bags, will heavy duty or gas type shocks help the problem?
There are specific replacement spring/shock packages available to replace the various air suspension systems. Shocks alone, even those w/helper springs, will not do.
