CUSTOMIZED PORTABLE SEATING TO MEET HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE SEATING REQUIREMENTS
While the ADA does not explicitly outline specific requirements for standard folding chairs, as most furniture is considered "moveable" and not covered under the regulations, there are general accessibility considerations that should be applied, such as ensuring adequate seat height, sufficient clearance for approach, and a stable design to accommodate individuals with disabilities when choosing folding chairs for accessible spaces; if fixed seating is required, then stricter ADA compliance would be necessary.
Key points to consider for ADA-compliant folding chairs:
-
Seat Height: Aim for a seat height that allows for easy transfer from a wheelchair, typically between 17-19 inches.
-
Seat Depth: Provide enough depth for comfortable sitting, considering various body types.
-
Armrests: Consider adjustable or removable armrests for easier access (permanent or removable arm-rests can be added with upholstered pads and/or cupholders)
-
Clearance: Ensure sufficient space around the chair for maneuvering a wheelchair.
-
Weight Capacity: Select chairs with a high enough weight capacity to accommodate a wide range of users.
-
Stability: Choose chairs with a stable base to prevent tipping.
Preferred chair models are AS100, GS100, ABS700, PS100 and ABS750W. Chairs are equipped with removable chair bumper inserts that can be detailed with ADA identification, informational, or advertising logos.
