Questions about the Bariatric TNT

All frequently asked questions

What is the widest Bariatric TNT?

Frame widths run from 20” to 24” on the standard frame, 25” to 29” as an option and 30” to 31” on request. Add 3.5” for overall width without handrims and 6” with handrims.

Does it tilt as far as the Rehab TNT?

Yes. The same 55° infinite tilt range, the same patented lateral tilt, the same 90° to 130° static recline and the same optional dynamic recline to 180°.

Is power tilt available?

Yes. Power tilt, power lateral tilt and/or recline and dynamic quick release are available as options; ask for them in the quote.

When should a facility choose the Bariatric TNT over the Rehab TNT?

Above 500 lb, or for anyone whose seated hip width needs a 25” frame or wider. Under those figures the Rehab TNT is the same chair at a lower price.

How long does an order take?

Standard configurations can ship within four weeks of receiving a purchase order. Custom widths and options take longer; the time is stated with the quote.
