The Karman KM-8520X is the lightest bariatric wheelchair on the market - 35 lbs with a 352 lb weight capacity in a portable aluminum frame. Most bariatric chairs weigh 50+ lbs and use steel frames. The KM-8520X uses aircraft-grade aluminum to deliver heavy-duty capacity in a form factor that caregivers can actually manage. Anti-tippers, a seatbelt, flip-back height-adjustable armrests, folding backrest, and quick-release rear wheels are all included standard.
