This heavy-duty wheelchair features a reinforced silver vein steel frame, a generous 26-inch seat width, and a 500 lb weight capacity to help improve everyday mobility with confidence and support. The removable desk-length arms with padded armrests simplify side transfers and improve accessibility during daily use. Tool-free elevating legrests with pneumatic pistons allow smooth leg positioning for added comfort and lower-body support. Large urethane rear wheels, adjustable semi-pneumatic front casters, and push-to-lock wheel locks provide dependable maneuverability and control on various indoor surfaces. Heavy-duty vinyl upholstery with a convenient chart pocket adds comfort while remaining easy to maintain.
