ProActive Medical Chariot II K2 Wheelchair with Elevating Legrests
The Chariot II K2 ELR Wheelchair Series by ProActive Medical combines clinical-grade durability with advanced lower-extremity positioning. 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.
The defining feature of this configuration is the tool-free Elevating Legrests (ELR). These legrests utilize a rugged mechanical clutch assembly and integrated plush calf pads, allowing caregivers or users to lift and lock the leg rigging at any specific angle. This is clinically vital for managing post-surgery swelling, cast placement, or circulatory issues. Backed by a carbon steel frame, easy-to-sanitize black vinyl upholstery, and flat-free urethane tires, this model offers premium physical support all day long.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the medical benefit of choosing Elevating Legrests (ELR)?
Standard footrests only support the feet at a fixed downward position. Elevating Legrests (ELR) feature a mechanical lift assembly and integrated calf pads. This allows you to raise the user's legs horizontally, which is clinically required to reduce lower-limb edema (swelling), increase venous blood flow, or keep a knee stable and extended following an injury or surgery.
What is the difference between Desk Arms and Full Arms?
-
Desk Arms: Taper down in height at the front. This cut-away shape lets you roll the wheelchair directly under standard kitchen tables, office desks, or restaurant surfaces without removing the armrests.
-
Full Arms: 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 up into a standing position.
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 patient transfers into cars, beds, or physical therapy tables simple and smooth.
