McKesson Wheelchair, Dual Axle with Full Length Arms and Elevating Leg Rests

The McKesson 146-SSP218FA-ELR Manual Wheelchair is a durable, easy-to-use adult mobility solution designed for dependable performance in both home and clinical healthcare settings. Fabricated around a heavy-duty carbon steel frame with an attractive, chip-resistant silver vein finish, this folding manual wheelchair safely accommodates user weight capacities up to 300 lbs while maintaining optimal structural rigidity. Its balanced 26-inch overall open width allows users and caregivers to navigate standard interior doorways, hallways, and clinical exam rooms with total control and agility.

Engineered to deliver long-term sitting comfort and postural stability, the chair features an 18″ wide by 16″ deep seating footprint covered in lightweight, embossed black vinyl upholstery that is durable, comfortable, and simple to sanitize between uses. The versatile dual-axle system pairs with three-position adjustable 8-inch front casters to enable seamless seat-to-floor height adjustments from standard 19-1/2 inches down to a 17-1/2 inch hemi level for comfortable foot-assisted propulsion. Padded full-length fixed armrests provide continuous forearm cushioning and steady leverage during unassisted or caregiver-assisted transfers, while tool-free swing-away elevating leg rests with padded calf supports maintain lower-extremity circulation and relieve edema. Outfitted with heavy-duty composite wheels, flat-free urethane rubber tires, responsive push-to-lock wheel locks, molded attendant handgrips, and a backrest storage pocket, this classic folding wheelchair collapses down to a compact 12-1/2 inch width for effortless car travel and closet storage.

Usage, Height Adjustment & Routine Care Guidance

To unfold, press downward evenly on both side seat rails until the frame locks completely flat and the vinyl seat is taut. To transition the chair to hemi seat height, reposition the rear wheel axle into the upper mounting frame position and adjust the front caster forks to the matching height holes to maintain a level frame. Always lock both push-to-lock wheel brakes securely before entering, exiting, or transferring. Clean the silver vein steel frame and embossed vinyl upholstery with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap or healthcare-grade disinfectant, wiping dry thoroughly with a towel.
