Transport Wheelchairs

We offer a complete range including: manual wheelchairs (standard, lightweight, ultra-lightweight), power wheelchairs (indoor, outdoor, all-terrain), transport chairs for caregivers, and specialty wheelchairs including tilt-in-space, reclining, and bariatric models for various mobility needs.

Mobility Specialties is an ADP registered vendor: we check what ADP and other programs may cover and show your share first. An ADP authorizer (usually an occupational or physical therapist) assesses you, and we prepare the quote and complete the vendor section of the application.

Yes. We rent manual and power wheelchairs by the week or month, which suits recovery after surgery, travel or trying a chair before you buy. We deliver across Toronto and the GTA; ask us about delivery to your address.

Wheelchair size is determined by seat width, depth, and height. We measure you to ensure proper fit - a wheelchair should support your thighs without pressure behind the knees, and the seat width should leave about 1 inch on each side. Proper sizing prevents pressure sores and improves comfort.

A tilt-in-space wheelchair tilts the entire seat and back as one unit while maintaining the hip angle. This redistributes pressure, helps with positioning, and improves comfort for users who spend extended time in their wheelchair. Ideal for those at risk of pressure sores.

Power wheelchair batteries typically last 1-2 years with daily use. On a full charge, most power wheelchairs can travel 15-25 km depending on terrain, user weight, and battery size. We recommend charging overnight for best battery life.

Yes, many power wheelchairs are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Outdoor models have larger wheels, higher ground clearance, and more powerful motors for uneven terrain. We help you choose based on your primary use environment.

A transport chair has small wheels and must be pushed by a caregiver - it cannot be self-propelled. A wheelchair has large rear wheels that the user can push themselves. Transport chairs are lighter and more portable, ideal for appointments and outings.

For outdoor use in Canada, we recommend power wheelchairs with larger wheels, higher ground clearance, and weather-resistant components. Popular outdoor models include the Quickie Q700, Permobil M3, and Pride Jazzy. All-terrain power wheelchairs handle snow, grass, and uneven surfaces common in Canadian winters.

Power wheelchair prices depend on the base, seating and controls you need, from compact indoor chairs to rehab chairs with tilt and recline. Mobility Specialties is an ADP registered vendor: we check what ADP and other programs may cover and show your share first.
