Karman Aluminum LT-1000 Transport Wheelchair

Description

Budget-Friendly. Caregiver-Controlled Braking. Indoor + Outdoor Ready.

When you need a reliable transport wheelchair that’s easy to maneuver, simple to store, and comfortable for everyday use, the Aluminum LT-1000 Transport Wheelchair delivers exactly what most users and caregivers are searching for—without the premium price tag. Designed for both indoor and outdoor transport, the LT-1000HB series combines a durable lightweight aluminum frame, smooth-rolling solid tires, and caregiver-focused safety features that make outings, appointments, and transfers feel far more manageable.

This model is built around what matters most in a true transport chair: control, stability, portability, and comfort. Whether you’re helping a loved one move through hallways at home, navigate a clinic, or roll over sidewalks and parking lots, the LT-1000 is made to keep the ride steady and the caregiver experience easier.

Why the LT-1000 Is a Smart Choice in a Transport Wheelchair

Many transport chairs feel either too basic (and unsafe) or too expensive for what you actually need. The LT-1000HB series hits the sweet spot by offering essential “must-have” features that make daily transport smoother—especially for caregivers.

✅ Companion Hand Brakes for Safer, Smoother Stops

One of the most valuable upgrades on this transport wheelchair is the attendant/companion hand brake system. Caregivers can slow down smoothly on ramps or uneven ground, then engage a parking brake to help stabilize the chair during transfers. That means more confidence, more control, and a safer overall experience when helping someone sit, stand, or reposition.

✅ Lightweight Aluminum Frame (Easy to Lift + Easier to Handle)

The LT-1000 is built with a lightweight aluminum frame, making it a strong option if you want a lightweight transport wheelchair that’s easier to load into a vehicle, push for longer distances, or store without the bulk of traditional steel chairs.

✅ Solid Tires That Handle Indoor + Outdoor Terrain

The chair features solid polyurethane tires—built to roll smoothly without worrying about flats. With 8” front casters and 12½” rear solid tires, you get dependable performance across common surfaces like tile, carpet transitions, pavement, and sidewalks.

Comfort & Security Features Users Appreciate

A good transport wheelchair isn’t only about getting from point A to point B—it’s about making the user feel stable and supported the entire time.

• Home care and daily assistance
