A bariatric wheelchair may be needed in any situation where the weight of a patient makes using a standard wheelchair unsafe or impractical. Most standard wheelchairs have a weight limit of 250 to 300 pounds. Failure to observe the weight limit can cause serious injury if the frame breaks or a part fails. In these cases, a bariatric wheelchair is necessary for the safety of the user.
Ceiling Lift weight capacities range from around 440 lbs to bariatric expanded capacity lifts of. 1,000 lbs. or more. Specification of 500 - 600 lb. capacity ceiling lifts will accommodate the. greatest range of all patients. If bariatric admissions warrant, a minimum of one expanded. capacity/bariatric lift per unit should be included, in addition to the lower weight capacity lifts.
