Built with a durable yet ultralight aluminum frame, this transport chair delivers stability and comfort. With its smooth-rolling 12-inch rear wheels, the Expedition Transport Wheelchair enables effortless pushing across indoor flooring, sidewalks, parking lots, and mildly uneven surfaces. The integrated curb-assist feature helps caregivers lift the front wheels with greater control when approaching small steps or bumps. For added security, companion-activated loop-lock hand brakes offer responsive stopping power. Comfort-focused features such as padded armrests and supportive fold-down footrests help ensure a pleasant ride, whether you're navigating a medical appointment, traveling through an airport, or enjoying time outdoors. The compact folding mechanism—activated by a convenient lever on the back—allows the wheelchair to collapse quickly for storage in a car trunk, closet, or overhead space. Weighing only 19 lb, it is significantly easier to lift and transport compared to traditional wheelchairs.

Review: Great wheelchair! - This wheelchair is FANTASTIC! It's not a WC for an individual to use on their own but so great for a care giver to use for their patient. It's lightweight (easy on the back) making it easy to fold up and put in the trunk. Footrests are easily attached and detached (lock in place). The toe 'ledge' at he back allows gentle tipping of the chair to easily get over bumps. The safety belts make my friend feel more secure. Hand brakes work extremely well. Does not budge when in locked position. That has no storage bag/compartment is the only thing I'd change about it. From a different company I ordered an attachable bag for the back of the chair for storage. PERFECT transport Wheelchair! Review: This is the best bang for your buck! - This wheelchair is great quality, easy to use, lightweight, comfortable (although I highly recommend a gel seat pad) it folds pretty small so it stores easy. This has reopened my adventure/travel side. I'm able to do all the things that I used to do before illness/body issues took that away. This lightweight wheelchair reopened those opportunities for me. If only it came in pink.. ## Features - Lightweight Folding Wheelchair: The Drive Medical Expedition Transport Wheelchair provides reliable mobility support with an ultra-light aluminum frame, padded armrests, and fold-down footrests - Smooth & Stable Maneuverability: This transport chair includes large 12-inch rear wheels and curb assist technology for safer navigation over bumps and uneven surfaces - Secure & Easy Braking: Built with companion-activated loop-lock hand brakes, this lightweight wheelchair allows quick stopping power and stable parking without bending or straining during use - Portable & Travel-Friendly: A simple rear-lever folding system and 19-lb frame make this transport chair easy to lift, store, and carry, offering dependable mobility support at home or on the go - Enhancing Lives: Our mission at Drive Medical is to lead the world with innovative healthcare solutions that enhance lives ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00537S944 | | Additional Features | FoldingOutdoorFull Length Arms | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,255 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #2 in Attendant & Transport Wheelchairs #1,028 in Sales & Deals | | Brake Style | locking hand brakes | | Brand | Drive Medical | | Brand Name | Drive Medical | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 6,663 Reviews | | Frame Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00822383259109 | | Handle Type | Push Handles | | Included Components | Drive Medical Lightweight Expedition Red Transport Wheelchair with Hand Brakes EXP19LTRD | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 38"D x 38"W x 22"H | | Item Nype Name | Tool | | Item Weight | 19 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Drive Medical | | Manufacturer Part Number | EXP19LTRD | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 300 Pounds | | Model Name | EXP19LTRD | | Model Number | EXP19LTRD | | Power Source | hand_powered | | Product Dimensions | 38"D x 38"W x 22"H | | Product Style | Traditional | | Required Assembly | No | | Seat Depth | 16 inches | | Seat Height | 19 Inches | | Seat Width | 18.5 Inches | | Style | Traditional | | Turn Radius | 3 Feet | | UPC | 822383259109 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | limited lifetime | | Wheel Size | 12 Inches | | Wheel Type | Rear Wheels | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Drive Medical - **Color:** Red - **Item Weight:** 19 Pounds - **Product Dimensions:** 38"D x 38"W x 22"H - **Style:** Traditional ## Images ![Lightweight Expedition Transport Wheelchair with Hand Brakes, Red | Transport Wheelchair Featuring Lightweight Expedition Frame with Hand Brakes for Safety Daily for Everyday Use - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iL1D7tYbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What shade of blue is the blue model? Navy, light, dark, bright?** A: Ours is Navy blue, quite dark. We have also added a wheelchair cushion makes it more comfy. **Q: en que material esta** A: Alunio. El tamańo ideal para transportarlo en carro (auto-coche). Muy practico. **Q: How wide is the whole chair. The available space for my mother to move dad into the bathroom is just 21 inches so I need to know if this will fit.** A: it's close as it's 20-1/2" outside armrest to outside arm rest. If you have possibly a 2nd bathroom you could take the door off as I did for clearance. That gives you roughly another 1-3/8". I bought a shower rod, rings and used a cheap shower curtain to act as a replacement door. My bathroom was laid out so that was possible and with a towel bar close I just used a bungee cord to hold the curtain back. I also bought a 60" door jam protector, cut them in half so I had 2 30" pairs and used 1 pair to protect the jams. I have used them for a year and still have the 2nd set to use if the get damaged bad. Hope some of this has given you some Ideas. **Q: What are the dimensions of the chair when it is fully folded?** A: 29" H 7"W 24"L As I've said in previous posts, this is an awesome chair. I've had mine a few months now. My wife has no problem lifting it (even with one hand) and putting it in the car. A LOT lighter than a full size wheelchair. Great buy!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great wheelchair! *by D***G on May 14, 2026* This wheelchair is FANTASTIC!

If only it came in pink.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to assembly, Lightweight, Easy to Fold, Highly Recommended *by P***T on June 12, 2026* I bought this chair for my dad, he is with Alzheimer and has loose a lot of mobility and it has made such a difference. It’s lightweight, easy to fold, and very comfortable for him to sit in. We use it both at home and when we’re out, now we can take a walk while he enjoy it, we can go out and eat with him, and it’s been sturdy and reliable. It gives him more independence, and it’s easy for us to transport. It came pre assembled and took less than 5 min to have the chair ready to use. We are very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, portable chair. ## Frequently Bought Together - Drive Medical EXP19LTRD Lightweight Expedition Folding Transport Wheelchair with Hand Brakes, Ultra Lightweight Transport Chair for Seniors and Adults, Red - DMI Wheelchair Bag Provides Storage on Wheelchairs and Transport Chairs for Elderly and Disabled, FSA HSA Eligible, Straps for Quick and Easy Install, Black - DMI Seat and Chair Cushion for Office Chairs, Wheelchairs, Scooters, Kitchen Chairs or Car Seats, FSA HSA Eligible, for Support and Height while Reducing Stress on Back, Tailbone or Sciatica --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/15865081-lightweight-expedition-transport-wheelchair-with-hand-brakes-red-transport-wheelchair](https://www.desertcart.us/products/15865081-lightweight-expedition-transport-wheelchair-with-hand-brakes-red-transport-wheelchair) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
