Strong and Sturdy Wheelchairs

Medline Strong and Sturdy Wheelchair with Full-Length Arms and Swing-Away Leg Rests for Easy Transfers is a durable, affordable wheelchair that brings the quality and strength of a high-end wheelchair at a lower-budget price point, with the trustworthiness expected from the Medline brand name. The chair folds down easily for transport and storage, and the backrest can be folded down as well for even more compact storage simply by unscrewing the handles from the backrest canes.

This K1 Basic Wheelchair features a durable tig-welded frame with an attractive gray powder-coated finish that is destined for years of heavy use. The nylon upholstery offers a comfortable ride, along with the smooth-rolling, solid flat-free tires, which can handle most terrains. Available with either removable desk-length arms or permanent full-length arms; detachable swing-away legrests or detachable elevating legrests; and either a 16- or 18-inch wide seat.
