Heavy Duty Power Wheelchairs

Heavy duty wheelchairs are most commonly used for their high user weight capacity. They are strong enough for any user. Heavy duty power wheelchairs, also known as bariatric wheelchairs, can also be used on almost any surface. These all terrain power wheelchairs are really the toughest available with their large motors and increased torque when compared to regular power chairs.
