Do any of you use a Wheelchair Mover to assist when transporting larger visitors? Our ambassadors are struggling with transporting some of the visitors entering our facility, so we are looking for some way to resolve this issue and keep the volunteers safe! Customer service is so important, but the safety of our volunteers is a priority. 

Thank you!

We utilize the wheelchair mover.  My volunteers absolutely love it.   We don't just use it because of weight, but our campus is so large and the hallways between buildings are carpeted.   It helps the volunteer not get so fatigued from the pushing.   i would highly recommend having one.   We also installed taller handles for pushing so the volunteers aren't bent over pushing.

We bought Tollos for the wheelchair mover.  They all look quite similar.   The handles are from Medline.   They are called handle extenders.  We use the ones that the handles point up.   It allows the volunteers to "lean" into the push instead of using their back.
