Traversa Transport Wheelchair

The Traversa Transport Wheelchair is designed for non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) operators and their passengers. Its innovative design makes trips safe, efficient, and comfortable.

The Traversa Transport Wheelchair has several key differences from other wheelchairs.

The Traversa is:

• Safer – Unlike most wheelchairs, the Traversa is crash tested to the WC19 specifications
• More Comfortable – The Traversa is equipped with the Comfort Tension Seating system from Broda, eliminating painful pressure points.
• Adjustable for Multiple Passengers – With a few simple adjustments, the Traversa fits most users up to 450 lbs.!
• Height-Adjustable – The Traversa features an ergonomic foot pump to raise or lower the wheelchair, making it easier to help passengers in and out of the wheelchair.
• Compatible with Most Vehicles – The Traversa seamlessly integrates with standard securement systems in NEMT vehicles, even smaller minivans!

Non-Emergency Wheelchair Transportation providers should consider buying the Traversa Transport Wheelchair because it is safer than most other transport wheelchairs, is compatible with standard NEMT vehicles, fits passengers up to 450 lbs., and offers special features like the height adustment foot pump and the Pivot Assist System, which make an NEMT driver’s daily job much easier!

The Travrsa-LT Transport Wheelchair fits comfortably in most wheelchair accessible mini vans, vans, and buses. We recommend that your vehicle have a height clearance of at least 48” and your ramp be a minimum of 29” wide.

Common van models used for non-emergency medical transport (NEMT) include the Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster vans. Common mini-van models include the Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Toyota Sienna. Contact your local vehicle conversion dealer for more information on vehicle models, dimensions, and specifications. Some vehicle models can be configured to fit multiple wheelchairs, increasing your trip capacity.

• Maximum Height: 52” (Full, Upright Position)
• Minimum Height: 48” (In full tilt)
• Width: 27 5/8”
• Length: 58” (leg support in the lowest position)
• Length when in Full Recline: 73”

The Traversa Transport Wheelchair can replace up to 90% of stretcher trips in NEMT vehicles and only requires one operator rather than two. The height adjustment capabilities, lay-flat recline, advanced positioning features, and lower price point make the Traversa an excellent alternative to traditional stretchers and gurneys. The Traversa is also less expensive to maintain than a stretcher, has a lower tipping risk, offers better passenger comfort, and doesn’t require charging or batteries.
