Medline Excel 2000 Series Wheelchair
Model: Medline Excel 2000 Series Wheelchair
Availability: Ships from EnhDme — multiple seat widths, arm styles, footrest types, and colors available
A Trusted Frame, Configured Your Way
Some wheelchairs earn their reputation through sheer, dependable consistency, and the Medline Excel 2000 Series has done exactly that. Built on a durable carbon steel frame with rust- and chip-resistant chrome plating, this series is designed to hold up to years of daily use without cutting corners on comfort or safety.
Hemi-height adjustable axles raise or lower the seat by 2", giving flexibility for users who propel with their feet as well as their hands. Padded and upholstered armrests and calf pads come standard, along with a chart pocket on the back for caregivers and easy-to-clean vinyl upholstery throughout. Threaded seat screw inserts reduce stripping during upholstery changes over the chair's lifetime, and elevating leg rest models feature a notched, stainless steel ratchet bar that locks the leg rests securely in place. This series spans multiple seat widths, arm styles, footrest types, and colors, making it easy to find the exact configuration needed.

This series offers a genuinely deep configuration matrix, letting the exact combination of width, arm style, footrest, and color be matched to the user rather than settling for the closest available option. Full-length arms, whether permanent or removable, provide support along the entire forearm, while desk-length arms allow the chair to pull closer to tables. Swing-away footrests simplify transfers, while elevating footrests add pressure-relief benefits for longer periods of sitting, secured by the notched ratchet bar rather than a simpler friction mechanism. Note that the 16" Navy and 20" configurations are currently only offered with swing-away footrests in this lineup, except for the 20" elevating option (MDS806450) — worth confirming the specific combination needed is available before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between permanent and removable arms?
Permanent full-length arms are fixed in place, while removable arms (both full-length and desk-length styles) can be taken off for easier lateral transfers in and out of the chair.
What does the notched ratchet bar do on elevating models?
The stainless steel ratchet bar locks the elevating leg rests securely at the chosen height, offering a more secure hold than a simpler friction-based mechanism.
Is every width, arm style, and footrest combination available?
Not every combination is offered — check the configuration table above for the specific SKUs currently available in this lineup.
How do I choose the right seat width?
Measure hip width at the widest point and compare against the 16", 18", and 20" options to find the closest, most supportive fit.
