Description
The Drive Sentra EC STD26ECDDA is a 26 in (66 cm) extra-wide wheelchair with detachable desk arms, built for a rider up to 700 lb (318 kg) who self-propels.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Carbon steel frame with a triple-coated chrome finish, gussets and dual cross bars, at 62 lb (28.1 kg).
- Steel spoke rear wheels carry the hand rims; a companion can also push from the handles.
- 8 in (20 cm) flat-free front casters in two fork positions.
- Push-to-lock wheel locks on both rear wheels.
- Detachable desk-length armrests with extra-large pads; reinforced nylon upholstery.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- A larger adult up to 700 lb (318 kg) who needs a 26 in seat and propels the chair.
- A companion pushes: a transport chair. A narrower heavy-duty chair: the Sentra 20 in model.
- A 28 or 30 in seat: those are separate chairs with their own weight and width.
Will it fit?
- Seat 26 in wide by 20 in deep (66 by 51 cm), 19.5 in (50 cm) from the floor; back 18 in (46 cm).
- Open 43 in long with riggings, 34.5 in (88 cm) wide and 35 in (89 cm) high; measure the doorways on the route.
- Folds to 14 in (36 cm) wide, 43 by 14 by 35 in (109 by 36 by 89 cm).
- Measure hip width, hips to knee, and knee to heel in shoes.
Using it day to day
- Folds side to side, and the arms detach for a side transfer.
- Fit swing-away footrests (PH-SF) or elevating legrests (PHELR), sold separately; keep the lowest point at least 2.5 in (6.4 cm) off the floor.
- Set both push-to-lock wheel locks before a transfer.
- The chair weighs 62 lb (28.1 kg); the shipping carton weighs 68 lb (30.8 kg).
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- The rider and anything carried must total no more than 700 lb (318 kg).
- Never use it as a seat in a vehicle, and do not use it on roads.
- Footrests and a cushion are not included; full-length arms are the separate item STD26ECDFA.
- Warranty: limited lifetime for the original purchaser, excluding misuse, normal wear and casters, grips and rubber parts. See the Warranty tab.
Which version should I choose?
- Arm style: this is the detachable desk-arm chair; the full-arm chair is STD26ECDFA.

How does it compare?
- Sentra 20 in: a narrower heavy-duty chair.
- Bariatric transport chair: for a rider who is pushed.
