What Quickie Wheelchairs does

Quickie Wheelchairs (Quickie-Wheelchairs.com) is a Phoenix, Arizona-based e-commerce retailer operated by SouthwestMedical.com, LLC, selling Quickie brand wheelchairs manufactured by Sunrise Medical along with replacement parts, cushions, positioning products, standing frames, and therapy aids. The business is an authorized dealer serving individual mobility users, pediatric patients, bariatric users, athletes, and medical/rehabilitation facilities across the United States through its website and a toll-free phone sales channel (800-236-4215). The company is privately held, founded circa 1995, with 11–50 employees and no disclosed venture or institutional capital.

The product catalog spans ultralight manual wheelchairs (folding and rigid, $1,325–$1,980), power wheelchairs including portable and mid-wheel drive models ($3,399–$7,425), tilt-in-space chairs ($1,995–$3,995), pediatric wheelchairs under the Zippie sub-brand ($1,872–$2,558), bariatric heavy-duty chairs, sports wheelchairs, and standing frames ($2,636–$5,275). Technical differentiation is rooted in mechanical engineering rather than software: aerospace-grade 7000 series aluminum and titanium frames, carbon fiber components, FreeFold folding mechanism (claimed 40%+ energy savings), Rotation-in-Space tilt technology, XLOCK crossbrace, TrueFit Growth System for pediatric adjustability, and hydroformed caster housings. The portfolio is augmented by third-party complementary brands (JAY, ROHO, Varilite, Bodypoint, Stealth, Otto-Bock, Comfort Company, Ki Mobility, EasyStand, Prime Engineering, Adaptive Engineering Labs, Matrx).

Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer unit sales (one-time transactions) via the e-commerce storefront and phone-based consultative sales. Pricing spans under $10 for small replacement parts to over $7,000 for premium power wheelchairs. The business operates as an independently-held LLC with BBB A+ accreditation, no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, and US-only distribution.
