Description
The Maddak Oxygen Tank Holder for Wheelchairs carries a D or E oxygen cylinder on the back of the chair, clear of the wheels and the rider's legs. For oxygen users at home, in clinics, and on outings, the holder keeps the cylinder upright and secure while the valve and regulator stay within reach.
- D and E Cylinder Fit – the holder takes cylinders up to 8.25 in in diameter.
- Top and Bottom Openings – the valve and regulator stay accessible at both ends of the cylinder.
- Three Attachment Loops – large loops anchor the holder to the wheelchair frame at three points.
- Waterproof Nylon – the heavy-duty fabric shrugs off rain and routine cleaning.
Oxygen That Travels with the Chair, Not in the Rider's Lap
Carrying a loose oxygen cylinder on a lap or between the feet is unstable and tiring on any trip longer than a few minutes. This holder mounts the cylinder vertically behind the seat, where its weight rides on the chair frame instead of the rider. Three large attachment loops spread the load, and the top loop carries the heaviest share so the cylinder does not sag or swing.
Openings at the top and bottom leave the valve and regulator reachable for flow checks and cylinder changes. The waterproof nylon body weighs 2.62 lb and wipes clean, suiting daily home use and clinic fleets alike.

Why Riders Mount the Cylinder on the Chair
A mounted cylinder frees the rider's hands and lap for the trip itself. The holder keeps the tank upright and reachable, so flow checks and cylinder swaps happen without unloading the chair. For caregivers, the three-loop mount removes the daily juggling of tank, chair, and rider.
- Hands Stay Free – the rider pushes, steers, or carries shopping instead of cradling a cylinder.
- Upright and Reachable – the valve stays at the top of the chair back for quick flow checks.
- Frame-Mounted Load – the chair frame carries the cylinder weight, not the rider's legs.
- Clinic and Home Ready – waterproof nylon suits daily outings and shared clinic chairs.
