ProBasics K2 Standard Hemi Wheelchair, Flip-Back Padded Arms and Swing-Away Footrests

The ProBasics K2 Standard Hemi Wheelchair (WC22016DS) is a rugged, highly adaptable manual mobility chair engineered to meet a diverse spectrum of patient requirements across home healthcare, rehabilitation clinics, and assisted living environments. Built around a durable slide tube steel frame finished in an attractive, scratch-resistant powder-coated silver vein finish, this folding manual wheelchair safely accommodates user weight capacities up to 300 lbs. It delivers long-term structural strength, balanced posture support, and agile self-propulsion without unnecessary bulk.

Designed with user versatility at its core, the ProBasics K2 features a dual-axle system complemented by multi-position front caster forks, enabling quick seat-to-floor height adjustments from standard height down to a lower hemi level. This lower profile empowers users to independently propel the wheelchair using their feet when desired. The generous 20″ × 16″ seating platform is fitted with heavy-duty black vinyl upholstery that is comfortable and easy to sanitize between uses. User transfers and table access are streamlined through flip-back, padded, upholstered armrests that are completely removable, alongside tool-free swing-away footrests equipped with supportive heel loops. Rolling smoothly on maintenance-free 24-inch solid urethane rear wheels with composite handrims, 8″ × 1″ solid rubber front casters, precision sealed wheel bearings, secure push-to-lock wheel brakes, and an integrated backrest chart pocket, the ProBasics K2 provides dependable everyday mobility.

Usage, Height Adjustment & Routine Maintenance

To unfold, press downward evenly on both outer seat rails until the frame opens fully and the vinyl seat is flat and taut. To transition the wheelchair to hemi level, reposition the rear wheel axle to the top frame mounting hole and adjust the front caster forks to maintain a level alignment. Ensure both push-to-lock wheel brakes are engaged before patient entry, exit, or transfer. Clean the silver vein steel frame, composite handrims, and vinyl upholstery with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap or hospital-grade disinfectant; dry completely with a clean towel.
