Lightweight wheelchairs typically weigh between 28 and 35 pounds.  The lighter weight makes it much easier for the user to propel than a standard weight wheelchair which could weigh 10 to 15 pounds more.  The lighter weight also makes it much easier to lift and load into a car.  The Quick Ship means your wheelchair will ship from the manufacturer within 1 to 2 business days of placing your order.  Custom chairs will usually take 5 to 7 business to leave the manufacturer.  So, if you are looking for a wheelchair that is easier to push, easier to lift, and need it fast, then a quick ship lightweight wheelchair is just what you need.
