ProActive Medical Chariot III K3 Wheelchairs with Elevating Legrests
Model: Chariot III K3 Customizable Positioning Series
Availability: In Stock — Ready to Ship
Precise Leg Elevation, Wherever You Need It
The ProActive Chariot III K3 ELR is built for users who need precise lower-limb positioning alongside everyday adaptability. Its carbon steel frame supports up to 350 lbs, and a dual-axle design drops the seat to a hemi-level height for independent foot propulsion.
What sets this configuration apart is a continuous-clutch elevating legrest — instead of clicking into a handful of preset angles, it locks at any exact degree you need, making it especially useful for managing post-surgery swelling or circulation concerns. Adjustable-height, flip-back armrests support proper posture and clear the way for transfers, and a telescoping seat rail expands depth from 16 to 18 inches as needs change.
Key Features
- Dual-Axle Hemi Height: Modifies frame clearance for a lower seat-to-floor alignment and independent foot propulsion.
- Continuous-Clutch Elevating Legrests: Lift and lock at any exact angle for targeted edema management or comfort.
- Adjustable-Height Flip-Back Arms: Vertical adjustment paired with a rearward flip joint for posture and side-transfer access.
- Telescoping Seat Depth: Expands from 16" to 18" as user needs evolve, without replacing parts.
- Scratch-Resistant Steel Frame: High-tensile carbon steel for long-lasting alignment and stable tracking.
- Flat-Free Tires: 24" composite mag wheels with solid urethane tires eliminate flat-tire maintenance.
- Standard Anti-Tippers: Adjustable rear stability tubes come standard to help prevent backward tipping on inclines.
- Breathable Nylon Upholstery: Flame-retardant fabric resists sagging and wipes clean for reliable hygiene.
Specialist Insight: Most standard wheelchairs lock you into a fixed seat depth and a handful of preset leg angles, but the Chariot III ELR solves both at once — the telescoping frame lengthens the seat base from 16 to 18 inches, while the continuous-clutch legrest joint locks at any precise degree rather than the jarring, click-step limitations of standard pin-lock hardware. That combination is especially useful for stroke survivors or orthopedic recovery patients who need an exact elevation angle, not just the nearest available notch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do the flip-back armrests improve posture and side transfers?
A: Fixed armrests can force awkward slouching or leaning. Here, the height adjusts vertically for natural, upright support, and the side panels unlatch and swing fully back for barrier-free lateral moves from a bed or car seat.
Q: What's the benefit of the telescoping seat depth?
A: Standard frames have fixed dimensions, so extra thigh support usually means buying a new chair. Built-in frame extensions let a specialist expand seat depth from 16 to 18 inches, distributing weight over a larger surface to help prevent pressure points.
Q: What's the benefit of a continuous-clutch elevating legrest?
A: Traditional elevating footrests click into a few fixed steps, which can miss the exact angle needed for post-surgery swelling relief. The continuous-clutch joint here lets a caregiver lift and lock the leg rigging at any precise degree for targeted comfort.
