Key Features
Product Highlights
The T-2017 covers the most common caregiver transport need: a simple, affordable steel chair that is easy to fold, easy to clean, and reliable enough for regular daily use without maintenance concerns. The flame-retardant nylon upholstery meets care facility safety requirements while remaining comfortable for users during transport. Two seat width options allow facilities and caregivers to stock a size that actually fits the user, rather than defaulting to one-size-fits-all.
