Does wheelchair #E1038 have locking hand breaks that can be set and they hold for someone getting in and out of the chair? What is it's weight?

Yes. I often set them myself or release them as needed. I reach behind my back on either side and can manipulate the brakes, which are below the handles. It isn't the easiest thing to do, but I am a senior citizen (76) and find that it is not too difficult to do. It isn't heavy, I can say that.

Yes the wheel chair has locking hand brakes. Just push them down and they lock, lift them to release or apply brakes that release when you release. The chair weighs about 20 pounds.

My husband is 337 and has no issues using this chair. He is confined to wheelchair so it is used all the time and we've had no problems, have replaced the armrest pads but very good customer service.

You can lock it into place or you can release the latch and lean back - If you are considering buying this chair, know that the wheels break - I bought two of the chairs and the wheels broke on both. Just order yourself a good set of replacement wheels....not a big issue. The chair is very nice and has held up well. I have one of home and office and get compliments almost daily. I hope this helps.

Yes, I rec'd what is pictured and desribed. I also made a web buying mistake of not checking the measurements before buying. I followed the incorrect extra wide heavy duty description. The listing says "Total Width of the seat is 22.5" Width between handles is 18", Depth (front to back) 13.5"." 18" seats in wheelchairs are standard not wide and rarely hold 250 lb people. If it was 22.5 and had no handles it might hold 400lb. Good luck.

I'm not sure what the weight limit is, my mother is about 135 lbs. The best way to find out would to contact the company that sells the product, they should know. I really love my wheelchair, it was a great investment for my mother. There is a seatbelt and it maneuvers well. It folds up great for storing in the house and car trunk.

Did not work for me. No way to secure this to the chair. Mine kept slipping off the chair in the wheelchair van I used to go to VA clinics and hospital. I no longer use it.

Taylor - I was traveling for a few days this week, sorry for the delayed response. The wheels do not lock. I believe the slot and pin for the wheels is a standard size, so it would be pretty easy to pick up some wheels from a hardware store. I can't confirm this, this is just an assumption. I've been happy with the chairs so far. Hope that helps.

I believe the shipping weight was almost 32 lbs. It is heavy but not so heavy that I can't life it myself and it maneuvers sooo easily with one hand. I've had it a while now and couldn't be happier. And yes, I used it as a wheelchair one day and it performed perfectly!

The weight I determined by weighing myself first and then with the wheelchair. I would say that it weighs approximately 28 pounds. I found it to be relatively light enough to move in and out of the trunk.

Don't know much about wheelchair models but if it's a chair you should be able to sit and pedal with the chair locked In place. It can also be used on a tabletop to strengthen arms and upper body.

It won't break nor is there a lock. Just hold the top of the back & push down the seat. These are the most comfortable chairs!

I don't have the chair handy as it's at my grandmother's home. However, I'm pretty sure the legs are removable because I recall not being able to find them on occasion when picking her her up to take her out. We've had the chair for 5 years now, not using it on a daily basis, but it has seen a lot of use. It's held up very well. I highly recommend it and hope it fits your needs.p.s. It's not as wide or heavy as a standard wheelchair, so I think it will work for what you need. I'll reiterate again that I've been really happy with it.

When ingot this I had been in a car accident and weighed less than m normal weight which was previously 130 but my mom could also sit in the chair and she weighs much more than me. I think as long as it is set up right it won't just break on you. It is very sturdy despite it shaking at times. We still have it and we store random things on it and its still holding up preety good. I hope this answer is useful.

FINALLY found what I needed to help get me OUT of the wheelchair and house more often! THIS one is so lightweight can lift it with two fingers! Just collapse it and literally toss into car! AMAZING! Spent over TWO YEARS trying to get going out for simple errands, but it was so discouraging to have to depend on others because could not lift the lightest 15lb walker with seat that was available on market! THIS IS THE ONE! NOPE! It does NOT have a seat, but then could never lift it if it did ... soo compromise gets me out of the house - prison finally! YAY! BTW MINE is a STANDER, NOT an ABLE! But they look identical so no idea WHAT THAT is all about??? FINALLY found what I needed to help get me OUT of the wheelchair and house more often!

Never weighed the chair but I can tell you it was easily lifted into and out of the car! It was great. So much better than a regular wheelchair and easier to maneuver.

Yes, you just push in a spring-release metal button and pull the arm up. When transferring my wife from a chair to the wheelchair (and later back to the chair) we always remove the arm and lock the front wheels. I also do the same when transferring her in and out of the car too. FYI - when collapsing the chair to put in the car's trunk, we usually just leave the arms attached.
