Model: Chariot II K2 Dual-Axle Standard Series
Availability: In Stock — Ready to Ship
A Wheelchair That Adapts to How You Move
The ProActive Chariot II K2 is built for everyday self-propulsion, whether at home or in a care setting. Its heavy-duty carbon steel frame, finished in a scratch-resistant silver-vein powder coat, supports up to 350 lbs while standing up to the wear and tear of frequent car loading.
The dual-axle design lets you shift the seat height from a standard 19.5" adult profile down to a 17.5" hemi height — enough for both heels to reach the floor flat for an efficient foot-propulsion stroke. Combined with three seat width options and two armrest styles, you can dial in a genuinely personalized fit rather than settling for one-size-fits-all.
Key Features
- Dual-Axle Hemi Height: Adjusts seat clearance between 19.5" standard and 17.5" hemi-level for direct foot propulsion.
- Fully Removable Armrests: Padded panels pull off via an easy-release pin for barrier-free lateral transfers.
- Tool-Free Swing-Away Footrests: Unlock and swing 90° or detach fully for a clear front entry path.
- Durable Dual-Embossed Upholstery: Black nylon fabric resists stretching, sagging, odor, and bacteria over time.
- Flat-Free Tires: Large 24" composite mag wheels with solid urethane tires eliminate flat-tire risk.
- Three-Position Adjustable Casters: 8" front casters recalibrate to keep the seat level at either rear axle height.
- Scratch-Resistant Finish: Hardened silver-vein powder coating protects the frame and simplifies cleaning.
Specialist Insight: Many basic manual chairs compromise on either fabric longevity or armrest versatility — the Chariot II pairs durable dual-embossed nylon with fully removable armrests. The desk-vs-full-arm choice matters more day-to-day than people expect: desk-length arms let you pull flush to a table or desk, while full-length arms give you more leverage when pushing up to stand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between desk-length and full-length arms?
A: Desk arms have a sloped, tapered front that lets the chair roll flush under desks, tables, or counters without removing anything. Full arms stay a uniform height to the front of the seat, giving continuous forearm support and more leverage when pushing up to stand.
Q: How does the hemi-height adjustment help with foot propulsion?
A: Standard chair heights can leave shorter users or stroke recovery patients reaching awkwardly for floor leverage. Moving the wheels to the secondary mounting holes lowers the seat to 17.5 inches, letting both feet sit flat on the floor for a natural heel-to-toe propulsion stride.
Q: Can the armrests come off completely for vehicle transfers?
A: Yes. Both armrest styles use an easy-release lock pin, so a caregiver can detach the full panel in seconds, creating a clear, flat side profile for lateral transfers to car seats, beds, or therapy equipment.
Technical specifications are provided by the manufacturer and are subject to change. Always confirm both push-to-lock tire levers are fully engaged and axle pins are secure before boarding or performing a lateral transfer.
