Aracent Healthcare has been a Federal Supply Schedule authorized contract holder for the past two decades. We’ve worked closely with hundreds of government healthcare facilities nationwide to provide the high-quality mobility equipment our military veterans deserve. For those interested in purchasing from Aracent Healthcare, we offer the government multiple methods for ordering our products. Purchase orders can be placed offline via email (sales@aracent.com) phone (888-550-7750) or fax (888-550-7752).

Just be sure to log into your account prior to shopping in order to view FSS specific products and pricing.

A wheelchair's overall width varies by model and seat size. This exact measurement can be found under the Additional Information tab of each item's Product page. Generally, though, Overall Width ≈ Seat Width + (between 7.25” - 9.5”). We have a wide variety of product offerings, with overall dimensions ranging from 21.25” to 39” wide. Please be sure to take close consideration of all doorways and tight corners in your household before completing your purchase.
All our wheelchairs arrive fully assembled. All you need to do is take the wheelchair out of the box, effortlessly attach the front riggings and any other accessories you may have also ordered, then you’re ready to roll!
Many of the more commonly ordered parts can be found in our Parts & Accessories section and added directly to your cart for purchase. When it comes to wheelchair replacement parts though, the list of available components is quite extensive and difficult to fully catalog on our website. Not to worry though, if it goes on a wheelchair we sell, we have you covered. Replacement part catalogs are available in the "Documentation & Literature" section of each Product page and outline all available components. Please contact our sales team with the part you need, and we’ll happily facilitate the purchase.

Most orders ship within the timeframes displayed in the “Availability” section of the Product page for the item you purchased.

If this expected shipping window has passed without receiving tracking information or an update, please reach out to our team for further assistance.
