ProActive Medical Chariot II K2 Standard Wheelchairs with Swing-Away Footrests
The Chariot II K2 Wheelchair Series by ProActive Medical is a clinical-grade, highly adaptable mobility solution designed to provide rugged durability and personalized user comfort. Built with an industry-standard K2 dual-axle design, this platform easily adjusts its seat height to a lower hemi-position (dropping from a standard 19.5" to a lower 17.5" floor clearance), allowing users to comfortably propel themselves using their feet.
At its core is a carbon steel frame supporting a heavy-duty, dual-embossed black nylon upholstery that resists stretching, sagging, and bacteria buildup under long wear cycles. The system features tool-free Swing-Away Footrests with composite footplates and integrated heel loops to prevent foot slippage. Available with either specialized desk-length arms for dining ease or traditional full-length arms for comprehensive upper-body positioning, the Chariot II rolls effortlessly across varied terrain on low-maintenance, urethane tires mounted on composite mag wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Desk Arms and Full Arms?
-
Desk Arms (
DASF): Taper down in height at the front. This specialized cut-away shape lets you roll the wheelchair directly under standard kitchen tables, office desks, or restaurant surfaces without having to remove the armrests. -
Full Arms (
FASF): Extend at a uniform height all the way to the front of the seat. This provides a continuous, supportive surface for resting the forearms and offers maximum physical leverage when pushing yourself up into a standing position.
How does the dual-axle "Hemi" adjustment work?
The frame includes two sets of mounting holes for the rear wheels and front casters. By shifting the wheels up to the secondary mounting position, you can safely lower the seat height by 2 inches. This matches the anatomy of shorter users or individuals who prefer to use a heel-strike motion to guide and propel the chair with their feet.
Are the armrests completely removable?
Yes. Both the desk-length and full-length armrests feature an easy-release pin mechanism. You can unlock them to pop them off entirely, making lateral transfers into cars, beds, or physical therapy tables simple and smooth.
