Description
The Everest & Jennings Bariatric Transport Chair is a 24 in wide aluminum transport chair for larger passengers. It folds for the trunk and keeps attended trips simple.
- 24 in wide seat for bariatric passengers
- Aluminum frame keeps loading manageable
- Folds flat for transport and storage
- Attendant-propelled transport design
- Everest & Jennings build quality
Standard transport chairs stop at 19 in wide, which leaves larger passengers without a trip chair. The EJ777-3 stretches the seat to 24 in and builds the frame from aluminum so a caregiver can still lift it into a trunk. Like all transport chairs, it is attendant-propelled: small rear wheels keep it light and simple, and a companion does the pushing. It folds flat between uses. For clinics, churches, families and facilities moving larger passengers to appointments, it fills a gap that standard chairs cannot.

Why Choose the Everest & Jennings Bariatric Transport Chair?
Wide passengers are usually told to use a full wheelchair for trips. The EJ777-3 gives them a real transport chair instead: wide, folding and caregiver-light.
- Width that exists – A true 24 in transport seat – Larger passengers get a trip chair, not a squeeze
- Aluminum at this size – The frame material offsets the width's weight – Caregivers can still load it alone
- Folds flat – Trunk-friendly between appointments – Storage takes a closet corner, not a room
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a transport chair different from a wheelchair?
Transport chairs have small rear wheels and must be pushed by a caregiver. The user cannot self-propel, which is why transport chairs are lighter and simpler.
Why aluminum on this model?
Aluminum keeps a 24 in bariatric-width chair manageable to lift and load. The EJ777-3 is the wide, aluminum entry in the E&J transport range.
What seat width is it?
24 in, sized for larger passengers. Standard transport chairs run 17 to 19 in, so this is the wide option.
Does it fold?
Yes, transport chairs fold flat for car trunks and storage. That portability is the main reason programs choose them for appointments and outings.
Who should push it?
A caregiver or attendant. The chair is designed for attended transport only, never self-propulsion.
