McKesson Lightweight Wheelchair 16 Inch, Dual Axle with Flip-Back Desk Arms and Swing-Away Footrests, 300 lbs Capacity, Black

The McKesson lightweight wheelchair 16 inch is an agile, durable manual mobility chair engineered to provide compact seating, everyday comfort, and effortless handling for petite adults and youth users. Built with a sturdy carbon steel frame protected by an attractive, textured silver vein powder-coated finish, this folding manual wheelchair safely accommodates weight capacities up to 300 lbs while maintaining a manageable product net weight of only 35 lbs. Its ultra-slim 24-inch overall open width glides effortlessly through standard residential doorways, narrow hallway corners, and clinical exam rooms without scuffing walls or doorframes.

Ergonomic positioning and daily accessibility are central to the design. The 16-inch wide seat features an adjustable depth from 16 to 18 inches and is lined with breathable black nylon upholstery that prevents excessive heat buildup while wiping clean in seconds for routine infection control. The versatile dual-axle system allows easy seat-to-floor height adjustments down to hemi level (17.5 inches) for comfortable foot-assisted propulsion. Flip-back detachable padded desk-length armrests allow users to sit comfortably close to dining tables and workstations while opening a clear, unobstructed lateral pathway for barrier-free side transfers. Outfitted with tool-free swing-away footrests, composite mag wheels with solid flat-free urethane rubber tires, 8-inch front caster wheels, precision sealed bearings, and push-to-lock manual wheel brakes, this chair ensures dependable performance for both indoor living and outdoor excursions.

To transition the chair to hemi seat height, relocate the rear axle assembly to the upper frame position and adjust the front 8-inch caster forks to maintain a level frame.
