ProBasics Heavy Duty K0007 Bariatric Wheelchair 24x18 with Swing-Away Footrests

The ProBasics heavy duty K0007 wheelchair 24 inch seat width is an extra-wide, medical-grade manual mobility chair engineered specifically to deliver dependable structural integrity, spacious seated posture support, and daily comfort for bariatric adults. Constructed with a reinforced slide tube steel frame coated in an attractive, chip-resistant silver vein finish, this high-performance bariatric wheelchair supports demanding user weight loads up to 450–600 lbs while eliminating frame flexing. Engineered as an essential heavy-duty positioning solution for clinical facilities, assisted living homes, and private residences, it ensures stable handling and dignifying comfort for everyday routine use.

Designed to provide ample room without lateral thigh pinching, this model (WC72418DS) features a broad 24-inch seat width with an 18-inch seat depth lined with heavy-duty padded black vinyl upholstery that resists tearing, blocks fluid penetration, and wipes clean rapidly with healthcare sanitizing agents. Detachable desk-length padded armrests allow users to sit comfortably close to dining tables and desks while opening an unobstructed lateral pathway for caregiver-assisted sliding board transfers. Outfitted with tool-free swing-away footrests that clear instantly for standing entry and exit, 24-inch rear wheels with flat-free urethane tires, composite hand rims for smooth self-propulsion, 8-inch front caster wheels adjustable across three vertical ride positions, and positive-engagement push-to-lock wheel brakes, this chair provides safe, smooth mobility across indoor surfaces and outdoor pathways.

Usage, Adjustment & Routine Care Guidance

To unfold, press downward firmly on both outer seat rail tubes until the frame opens completely flat and the padded vinyl seat is taut. Mount the swing-away footrests onto the front receiver pins and rotate them inward until they lock securely into forward position. To customize front ride height, remove the caster fork mounting bolts and re-secure the 8-inch front caster wheels into one of the three vertical adjustment holes. Always engage both push-to-lock wheel locks securely before sitting down, standing up, or transferring from the chair. Clean the silver vein steel frame and vinyl upholstery with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap or hospital-grade disinfectant wipes, then wipe dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
