Transit style means the chair is pushed by an attendant: the rear wheels are small and there are no handrims, which keeps the overall width down and makes the chair easier to move through doorways and lifts. It suits clients who are transported by staff or family on every trip.
Vinyl upholstery wipes clean, which matters when a chair is shared between patients through the day. The steel frame takes the daily handling of a ward environment, and the chair folds down when it needs to go in a vehicle or into a storage cupboard.
Hospitals, residential aged care and outpatient clinics use chairs like this as the backbone of their patient transport fleet.
