The Universal Wheelchair Built to Carry Both Passenger and Luggage
The Surace SQUAW is an extra-strong universal wheelchair purpose-built for the way airports, hotels, hospitals, train stations and ferry terminals actually move people — with their bags. Its defining feature is a lockable rear luggage rack with extended push handles and a dedicated foot space for the porter, turning the chair into a single-operator unit that replaces the traditional "wheelchair plus baggage trolley" setup. For UAE buyers searching for an airport wheelchair with luggage rack, the SQUAW is the chair professional buyers specify when they need one piece of equipment to do the job of two. Built around a stabilizing folding frame on four reinforced telescopic supports, the SQUAW is rated to 125 kg as standard and up to 140 kg with the optional double-cross reinforcement — heavy-duty enough for continuous institutional use across baggage claim, hotel lobbies, hospital corridors and rail concourses. The frame folds compactly for storage but, critically, remains rollable in the folded position thanks to spaced front casters that continue to swivel — meaning attendants can move the closed chair between storage and point-of-use without lifting it. The passenger experience matches the operator experience. An oversized 48 cm padded seat accommodates a wide range of body sizes. Swinging desk-style armrests and swing-away footrests make seated transfers easy from beds, vehicles and standard chairs. Long, raised, oversized push handles keep the operator in a comfortable upright posture during long pushes through terminals or corridors. Standard equipment includes attendant brakes, swing-away footrests and a passenger security belt — every safety feature expected by professional ground-handling, hospitality and healthcare procurement teams across the UAE and wider GCC.
Key Benefits
- Built-in lockable luggage rack — long handles plus dedicated porter foot space turn the chair into a passenger + baggage transport solution. No separate trolley required.
- Reinforced "indistruttibile" build — Surace's signature folding frame on 4 reinforced telescopic supports, designed for institutional duty cycles.
- 125 kg standard capacity, 140 kg with optional reinforcement — supports a wide range of passengers including bariatric users.
- Rollable when folded — front casters stay spaced and swivel even in the closed position, so attendants wheel the folded chair to point of use rather than carrying it.
- Oversized 48 cm seat — wider than standard wheelchairs, comfortable for long airport waits, hotel transfers or hospital sessions.
- Ergonomic operator handles — raised, long, distanced and oversized for comfortable single-attendant pushing over long distances.
- Swinging desk armrests + swing-away footrests — easy transfers from beds, vehicles, standard chairs and counters; armrests slide under desks and counters for closer approach.
- Customisable for fleet branding — operator logo can be printed on the rear backrest; available with optional drum brakes and adjustable elevating legrests.

Where the SQUAW Fits in UAE Operations
From DXB and AUH passenger services to luxury hotel lobbies in Dubai Marina, hospital outpatient corridors and Etihad Rail station concourses, the SQUAW solves the specific operational problem of moving a passenger and their luggage simultaneously. Its institutional-grade build means it withstands the wear cycles that destroy lighter consumer wheelchairs in commercial settings, while the integrated luggage rack eliminates the need for separate baggage handling — saving labour, simplifying logistics and improving the passenger experience.
