Bariatric transport, with capacity.
Larger-capacity vehicles, reinforced lifts up to 800 lbs, and two-attendant crews trained in safe-patient-handling.
What this service includes.
Bariatric transport is its own service tier — not a wheelchair ride with bigger straps. Reinforced lifts rated for 800 lbs, wider interior space, and crews specifically trained in safe-patient-handling for higher-weight patients. We pre-stage equipment based on patient weight and mobility notes captured at booking.
Everything bundled in.
Up to 800 lbs
Reinforced lifts and wider interior space; patient + chair pre-confirmed before dispatch.
Two-attendant crews
Both attendants trained in safe-patient-handling techniques specific to bariatric transport.
Pre-staged equipment
Mobility + weight captured at booking; the right vehicle gets dispatched the first time.
Dignified handling
Patient dignity is non-negotiable. Quiet, professional handling — no unnecessary discussion at pickup.
HIPAA-protected
Weight + mobility info captured at booking is encrypted at rest; decrypted only at point-of-use.
