A transport wheelchair is a crash-tested mobility chair designed for caregiver-assisted transport, typically used for short trips, medical appointments, or non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT). Transport wheelchairs are designed to fit inside accessible vehicles such as vans and buses. The best transport chairs are crash tested and certified to the WC19 standards – the highest level of safety for wheelchair travel. Broda’s comfortable transport wheelchairs are all crash tested and WC19 certified for short- and long-distance trips.
Broda is a trusted manufacturer of durable medical equipment for any care environment.
“The Broda [Traversa] has had a significant impact on the NEMT industry. Across the United States, there are a lot of states that do not permit the use of stretcher vans. Now, with the Broda device, NEMT companies across the country have the ability to offer another mode of transportation similar to a stretcher, where stretchers may not be allowed in their state. I think it’s now become somewhat standard to the industry.”
