Call (973) 389-3110Transport Built for Comfort, Safety, and Dignity
For higher-weight patients, a standard wheelchair van or stretcher isn't always the right fit — and being told a provider "can't accommodate" is both stressful and undignified. Delta Medical Transportation provides bariatric medical transport designed specifically for these trips, using bariatric-rated wheelchairs and stretchers with higher weight capacities and wider, properly secured dimensions, plus the additional trained personnel a safe transfer may require.
Every bariatric trip is planned around the individual. When you call, we ask about the patient's weight, mobility, and the pickup and destination so we can confirm the right vehicle, the right equipment, and the right number of trained staff before the day of transport. The result is a ride that's calm and routine rather than improvised — whether it's recurring dialysis transportation, hospital discharge, a specialist appointment, or a transfer between care facilities.
Preparing for a bariatric trip is simple on your end: tell us the patient's weight range, how they transfer (walk with assistance, wheelchair, or stretcher), and the pickup and destination — including any stairs, narrow doorways, or tight turns at either address. We use that to match the right vehicle, equipment, and number of trained staff to the trip, so nothing is left to chance on the day. When you're ready to book, call (973) 389-3110.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is bariatric medical transport?
Bariatric medical transport is non-emergency transportation designed for higher-weight patients who need equipment and assistance beyond what a standard wheelchair van or stretcher provides. It uses bariatric-rated wheelchairs and stretchers with higher weight capacities and wider dimensions, secured properly for a safe ride, and is staffed by drivers trained in safe bariatric patient handling.
How much weight can your bariatric equipment support?
Bariatric equipment is rated well above standard wheelchairs and stretchers. Exact capacity depends on the equipment used for your specific trip, so the best step is to call us at (973) 389-3110 and tell us the patient's needs — we'll confirm the right vehicle, equipment, and staffing before the trip so everything is safe and comfortable.
Do you provide bariatric transport for dialysis and hospital discharge?
Yes. We provide bariatric transport for recurring dialysis, hospital discharge home or to rehab, doctor and specialist visits, and transfers between care facilities throughout New Jersey. Recurring trips such as dialysis can be scheduled in advance.
