McKesson Lightweight Wheelchair, Dual Axle with Flip-Back Desk Arms and Elevating Leg Rests

The McKesson Lightweight Wheelchair is a versatile, high-durability adult manual mobility chair engineered to balance everyday handling with solid structural strength. Built with a heavy-duty carbon steel frame protected by a scratch-resistant silver vein finish, this folding manual wheelchair supports an active weight capacity of up to 300 lbs while maintaining an agile 36 lb frame. Engineered for dependable routine movement across home use, rehabilitation clinics, and outdoor park paths, its compact 26-inch open width maneuvers easily through standard interior doorways and narrow hallways.

Positioning and user comfort center around an ergonomic 18-inch seat width with adjustable seat depth (16 to 18 inches) and a flexible dual-axle system that transitions seat height from standard 19-1/2 inches down to a 17-1/2 inch hemi level for comfortable foot-assisted propulsion. The seating surface is made of durable, wipe-clean black nylon upholstery that breathes well and resists everyday wear. Flip-back, removable padded desk-length armrests allow users to pull up close to dining tables and office desks while simplifying lateral transfers. Tool-free swing-away elevating leg rests with padded calf supports promote lower-extremity circulation and reduce swelling, while composite mag wheels with solid urethane tires, precision sealed bearings, and push-to-lock brakes ensure smooth, maintenance-free mobility indoors and outdoors.

Usage, Height Adjustment & Routine Care Guidance

To unfold, push downward on the outer seat rail tubes until the frame opens fully and the black nylon seat is taut. To transition to hemi seat height, relocate the rear axle assembly to the upper frame position and adjust the front 8-inch caster forks to keep the chair level. Always engage both push-to-lock wheel brakes prior to standing up, sitting down, or transferring. Clean the silver vein carbon steel frame and nylon upholstery with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent; dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
