Strongback ErgoSteel Wheelchair with Built-In Lumbar Support

Standard wheelchair backrests can feel flat and provide little support for the natural curve of the lower back.The Strongback ErgoSteel uses Strongback's patented ergonomic backrest, with lumbar support built directly into the shape of the frame.

The 24-inch rear wheels with handrims let you propel the chair yourself. Desk-length armrests allow you to pull closer to many tables and counters, while the swing-away footrests move aside when needed. For transport, the rear wheels release without tools, the footrests detach, and the chair folds to 25" × 13" × 25".

You get built-in lumbar support while seated, direct control through self-propulsion, easier access to tables and counters, and a manual wheelchair that can be broken down when it is time to transport it.

The patented Strongback backrest, now in steel.

Strongback ErgoSteel User Manual

Strongback ErgoSteel FAQs

Is the ErgoSteel self-propelled?

Yes. The ErgoSteel has 24-inch rear wheels with handrims for self-propelled use. Push handles also allow another person to push the chair when preferred.

How does the ergonomic backrest work?

The patented Strongback backrest uses a fixed ergonomic curve built into the frame to provide positive lumbar support. The curve does not adjust, while the backrest itself folds for transport.

How much does the ErgoSteel weigh?

Carry Weight is 18.3 lb for the frame only. Product Weight is 32.2 lb with the wheels attached. Total Weight is 35.7 lb with the legrests attached and excluding the anti-tippers.

Does it fold for car transport?

Yes. The ErgoSteel folds to 25" × 13" × 25". The rear wheels also release without tools. Compare these dimensions with the available storage space in your vehicle.

What seat size does the ErgoSteel have?

The ErgoSteel has an 18-inch seat width, 16.5-inch seat depth, and 20-inch seat height.

What is the weight capacity?

The Strongback ErgoSteel has a 300 lb user weight capacity.

Do the rear wheels and footrests come off?

Yes. The 24-inch rear wheels use a quick-release design and come off without tools. The footrests swing away and are detachable.

Can the chair pull closer to a table or desk?

The desk-length armrests are shorter at the front than full-length armrests, allowing the chair to pull closer to many tables, desks, and counters.

What if reducing chair weight is my main priority?

The ErgoSteel is light for a steel wheelchair rather than ultra-lightweight. If reducing overall chair weight is your main priority, you can also compare light foldable wheelchairs.
