Availability: In stock — ready to ship
Adjustable to Hemi Height, Built for Everyday Independence
The Wings K2 Hemi-Capable Wheelchair is built around a dual-axle frame that lets the seat drop down to a hemi-height position, so users can self-propel using their feet instead of relying solely on the push rims. That flexibility makes it a practical fit for a wide range of mobility needs, whether the primary user propels with their hands, their feet, or a combination of both over the course of a day.
The detachable, padded desk-length arms flip back or remove entirely for easier transfers and let the chair roll right up to a table or desk. Durable vinyl upholstery is easy to wipe down, and the whole frame is available in 16", 18", or 20" seat widths with your choice of swing-away footrests or elevating leg rests, so it can be configured to fit the person using it.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The choice between swing-away footrests (SF) and elevating leg rests (ELR) comes down to how the legs need to be positioned day to day. SF rigging is lighter, simpler, and easier to maneuver in tight spaces, making it a good everyday choice for users without specific leg-positioning needs. ELR rigging adds adjustable height to reduce lower-leg swelling or support a specific medical need for elevation, but it also adds some weight and length to the chair. If swelling management or post-surgical leg elevation isn't a current need, SF is generally the simpler, more maneuverable option.
