Transport Chair | Why Some Transport Chair Rental Have a High Overhead Cost

Providing access to all public facilities for people with disabilities is required by law.  In order to provide safe access, many larger facilities such as airports, malls, medical facilities, and other large establishments have provided transport chair rentals.  Some are coin operated for a small fee; others are a free service.

Pricing Transport Chairs
The initial outlay of purchasing a fleet of transport chairs for public use can run anywhere from $100 to $800 a piece, with most quality chairs running about $350 each.  Sure, you can purchase a wheelchair from Costco or a catalog for about $100, but be prepared to spend a lot of money in maintenance, replacing lost or broken parts and theft.  

In the long run, buying inexpensive and poor quality equipment will drive the cost of a transport chair up higher than if you had purchased a Staxi chair in the first place.

Benefits of the Staxi Wheelchair
Staxi is the number one selling transport chair, is placed worldwide, and has a 15 year history of quality and service.  What makes a Staxi transport chair so superior?  First of all, the design of the chair is totally unique from the typical folding wheelchair used by people in their homes. A solid, comfortable seat and leg rest with no attached parts to lose gives the person a smooth, secure ride.

Staxi is designed to transport a person, not for the person to be able to move around alone.  The chair requires an attendant to push from behind with a bar, which also has an Automatic Brake System.  The ABS keeps the chair stable when transferring the person to another chair, and provides safety when parked.

A Wheelchair that Prevents Staff Injuries
The ergonomically designed push bar helps the attendant walk straight and maneuver the chair with one hand.  The lightweight material and easy operation will keep the attendant from straining too.  

One of the most difficult maneuvers is the transfer of the patient to another chair.  Usually this requires the attendant to lift from the front, but the Staxi chair’s arms swing up and away, allowing the patient to slide out of the side of the chair. Using Staxi will help keep your employees from having related on-the-job injuries.

If your company needs many chairs, Staxi’s unique nesting design will not take up a lot of valuable floor space.  The strong, lightweight tubular steel will carry up to 1,000 pounds, the chair’s material is weatherproof and easily sanitized, and comes in easily identifiable colors.

Save Space and Money with Wheelchairs that Don't Collapse
Probably the greatest cost to a company when providing transport chair rental is the loss of wheelchairs due to theft.  Because Staxi does not collapse or fold and footrests and other parts are not removable, the wheelchair is not able to be stowed into a trunk or vehicle and stolen.  

In addition, each Staxi has an identification number.  The loss of wheelchairs is virtually zero, so replacements will not have to be part of your company’s annual budget.
