Description
The Drive D574 is a manual three-position geri chair on 5 in (127 mm) casters, for a caregiver to roll and set the recline. It does not lift anyone to standing.
What does it do and how does it work?
Three positions: upright, deep recline and elevated leg rest, held by a retractable lock bar.
- The caregiver raises the lock bar, sets the position and lets it engage.
- Self-adjusting suspension in the seat prevents bottoming out.
- Wide angled armrests and a built-in headrest.
- A moisture barrier on the seat prevents seepage.
- A large blow-moulded tray locks in five positions and stores on the side.
- Four 5 in (127 mm) casters, two of them locking.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
It suits a caregiver moving a person who does not need a powered lift, in a home or care room.
- It is not a power lift chair; someone who needs motor help to stand should choose one of those.
- It is not the extra-wide D574EW, which is a separate model.
Will it fit?
- Seat 19 in (483 mm) wide, 19 in (483 mm) deep and 21 in (533 mm) high.
- Weight limit 250 lbs (113 kg).
- Measure the doorway and the room; the free home assessment can take those measurements.
- The built-in headrest is the support behind the head.
Using it day to day
- Lock the casters during a transfer so the chair cannot roll.
- The back slides into the frame and is screwed on at setup.
- The side panels pop off for cleaning.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- One person at a time, and a caregiver sets the recline.
- Colours: Charcoal (D574-CHAR), Chocolate (D574-CHOC) and Tan (D574-TAN). The charcoal chair is D574-CHAR.
- Warranty: limited lifetime on the frame; 1 year on upholstery and moving parts. See the warranty terms.
- Under CRA's medical expense rules, a wheel-mounted geriatric chair may qualify as a medical expense; CRA decides, so keep the receipt.
How does it compare?
- For powered help to stand, start with the lift chair range.
- For another seat size, browse the geri chairs.
- The bariatric D574EW is the extra-wide model.
