Abstract: A wheel chair with elevating seat having a high lift capability includes a frame assembly having a plurality of wheels attached to and normally supporting the frame assembly. A pair of opposed, vertical track members are atached to and project upwardly from the frame assembly, and elements are provided for selectively moving a chair substantially along the lengths of the track members. The lengths of the track members provide high lift capabilities for the chair while permitting passage through standard residential door openings whereby the operator is enabled to perform household and other tasks which otherwise would not be possible.
