Drive Sentra Bariatric Wheelchair, 500 lb, 20 to 24 Inch Seat Width

The Drive Bariatric Sentra Extra Heavy-Duty Wheelchair is a folding steel wheelchair rated for 500 lbs (227 kg), for an adult who needs a seat wider than a standard chair and wants to push themselves on 24-inch hand-rim wheels or be pushed by a companion. The standard chair is Drive's 20-inch model with swing-away footrests (STD20DDA-SF); the 22-inch and 24-inch seats and elevating legrests are chosen below. Every width carries the same 500 lb rating, which sets it apart from Drive's Sentra EC, rated for 450 lbs.

  • Seat: 20" wide x 18" deep (51 x 46 cm); 22" and 24" widths available
  • Warranty: Drive limited lifetime; casters, grips and rubber parts excluded

What is included?

The chair comes with black naugahyde seat and back upholstery and a carry pocket on the back, padded detachable desk-length arms, swing-away footrests with tool-free length adjustment, 24" composite rear wheels with hand rims, and push-to-lock wheel locks. The 22" or 24" seat and elevating legrests in place of the footrests are ordered as options. A seat cushion, seat belt and anti-tippers are not included: Drive makes a bariatric seat belt and anti-tippers for this frame (ask us), and a cushion from our wheelchair cushions should match the seat width and 18" depth.

Description

The Drive Sentra STD20DDA is a heavy-duty folding wheelchair with a 20 inch seat, rated for 500 lbs (227 kg), in 20, 22 and 24 inch widths with footrests or elevating legrests.

What does it do, and how does it work?

  • Carbon steel frame in silver vein, with steel gussets at weight-bearing points and dual cross bars.
  • 24 in (61 cm) composite mag wheels with sealed bearings; rear axles bolt on, not quick release.
  • Heavy-gauge black naugahyde seat and back, with a carry pocket.
  • Padded desk-length arms lift out on a spring button.
  • Swing-away footrests with tool-free length adjustment, or elevating legrests.
  • Push-to-lock wheel locks on both rear wheels; 8 in (20 cm) extensions optional.

Who is it for, and who should choose something else?

  • An adult up to 500 lbs (227 kg) who wants a wider seat and can self-propel or be pushed.
  • A lighter companion chair: the ATC22-R or the BTR22-R.
  • Over 500 lbs or wider than 24 in: the 26 to 30 in Sentra EC in bariatric wheelchairs.
  • For tilt, see tilt-in-space chairs; this one does not tilt.

Will it fit?

  • Seat 20, 22 or 24 in (51, 56 or 61 cm) wide, 18 in (46 cm) deep; back 18 in; seat to floor 19 to 21 in (48 to 53 cm).
  • Open 29, 31 or 32.5 in (74, 79 or 83 cm); 42 in (107 cm) long; folded 13 in (33 cm) wide.
  • Chair weight 54, 56 or 66.25 lbs (24.5, 25.4 or 30.1 kg).
  • Measure hip width, hip to knee and knee to heel in shoes, or book a free home assessment.

Using it day to day

  • To fold, raise the footplates and lift the seat from the front and back.
  • Lock both wheels before every transfer and turn the casters forward before reaching.
  • Inspect the rear wheels monthly, tighten the axle bolt if loose, and lubricate the casters.
  • On an incline, ask for help, keep the chair straight and do not use the locks to slow down.

What does it work with, and what are its limits?

  • It is not a vehicle seat; transfer to a vehicle seat and keep it off roadways.
  • Do not stand on the footrests or lean on the back.
  • A cushion, seat belt and anti-tippers are not included.
  • Cushions run 20, 22 or 24 in by 18 in deep.

Which version should I choose?

  • The 22 and 24 in add 2 and 12.25 lbs (0.9 and 5.6 kg) to the 20 in chair.
  • Swing-away footrests suit standing transfers; elevating legrests add a raised leg position.
