Description
The Invacare Tracer SX5 is a folding manual wheelchair built for daily use at home, in the community and in rental fleets. Its carbon steel frame and dual axle position keep the chair light enough to lift into a car while staying strong in everyday service.
- Carbon steel frame with 14-gauge crossbraces
- Dual axle converts seat-to-floor height from 19.5 in to hemi 17.5 in
- Flip-back, non-removable armrests in desk or full length
- Urethane rear tires on composite wheels, no flat tires to repair
- Heavy-duty inner liner keeps seat and back upholstery from stretching
The Tracer SX5 has served as a workhorse standard wheelchair for years because it balances a low chair weight with parts that hold up to repeated folding, transport and cleaning. At 33.75 lb, one caregiver can load it into most car trunks without a lift. The dual axle design lets the seat height drop for foot propulsion or rise for standard transfers, so one frame fits a wider range of users. Seat widths run from 16 in to 22 in in the configurations stocked here, and the wider chairs carry a semi-pneumatic caster to support their higher capacity. Every configuration in this listing is a stocked Invacare model, so the chair that arrives matches the size and arm style in its option label.

Why Choose the Invacare Tracer SX5?
Standard wheelchairs differ most in frame strength, axle adjustability and how honestly their stock sizes match the label. This listing sells only the configurations Invacare itself lists as stock models, each with its own SKU and price.
- Stock configurations only – every option is a stocked Invacare model with its own SKU, so the size and arms you pick are the chair you get, which protects against mismatched made-to-order builds
- Dual axle height change – the seat drops to hemi height for foot propulsion or rises for transfers, so one chair adapts as the user changes, which extends its useful life
- Fleet-proven frame – the carbon steel frame and reinforced upholstery liner are why rental fleets run this model, so a home buyer gets the same durability, which lowers long-term cost of ownership
