Model: Chariot IV XTC ELR Premium Series
Availability: In Stock – Ready to Ship
A Lightweight Frame with Adjustable Leg Support Built In
Move through your day, run errands, and travel with more ease using the ProActive Medical Chariot IV XTC ELR Series. Built on a refined, high-strength frame that supports up to 350 lbs depending on seat size, this chair cuts down on rolling resistance and lifting strain for independent users and caregivers alike.
The standout feature of this configuration is its tool-free elevating legrests paired with extensive fit customization. Mechanical continuous-clutch joints and plush calf pads let users or companions lift and lock the leg rigging at custom angles for lower-limb comfort. Add in height-adjustable, flip-back desk arms and a built-in telescoping seat rail that adjusts seat depth on the fly, and this chair delivers a level of fit flexibility that's hard to match.
Key Features
- Mechanical Elevating Legrests (ELR): Continuous-clutch joints and padded calf rests allow tool-free, precise angle adjustments for optimal leg placement.
- High-Strength, Ultra-Light Frame: Lightweight design keeps rolling and lifting weight low without sacrificing structural rigidity.
- Height-Adjustable Desk Arms: Adapt to fit custom torso proportions and flip back instantly for easy side transfers.
- Telescoping Seat Depth: Adjusts from 16" to 18" on the 16"/18"/20" widths, or 18" to 20" on the 22" width, to fine-tune fit.
- Flat-Free Composite Mag Wheels: 24" rear wheels and 8" solid front casters roll smoothly over door lips and uneven sidewalks with no puncture risk.
- Breathable Premium Upholstery: Double-stitched, flame-retardant black nylon resists stretching and wipes clean easily.
- Complete Safety Assembly: Standard rear anti-tippers and push-to-lock wheel brakes on every unit.
Equipment Specialist Insight: The Chariot IV XTC ELR stands out for how much customization it packs onto one lightweight frame. Many lightweight manual chairs force a trade-off on positioning features, but this series combines a telescoping seat rail, height-adjustable arm pads, and mechanical elevating legrests without adding bulk. The day-to-day payoff is fit flexibility — arms that tuck flush under a desk, legrests that lock at the angle that's actually comfortable, and a seat depth that can grow with changing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do the height-adjustable flip-back desk arms help day to day?
A: Standard armrests are fixed in place and stick out, blocking the chair from sliding under desks or tables. These desk-length pads slide beneath standard table trims, adjust in height to match torso proportions, and flip back entirely for easy side transfers.
Q: What's the benefit of the telescoping seat depth?
A: A fixed seat length can feel short or create pressure behind the knees. The built-in telescoping seat rail lets you extend the seat depth by adjusting the frame fasteners, so the fit can be tuned to the rider.
Q: Do the elevating legrests need separate tools to adjust?
A: No. The legrests use a tool-free mechanical clutch joint. Users or caregivers can raise the leg rests to the position needed for posture support, and the calf pads lock securely for stability during travel.
Q: How do I choose the right seat width?
A: This model is available in 16", 18", 20", and 22" seat widths, with weight capacity varying by size. We recommend confirming measurements and capacity needs with a physician or equipment specialist before ordering.
