Karman KM8520F20W-HA 20-Inch Heavy-Duty Manual Wheelchair

The KM8520F20W-HA is a folding manual wheelchair with a 20 x 18-inch seat and a 6061-T6 aluminum frame. The listing gives a 350 lb capacity and 40 lb chair weight. Flip-back, height-adjustable armrests and swing-away detachable footrests help with side access and transfers; the 24 x 1.75-inch rear wheels and heavy-duty front casters are part of this specific configuration.

Seat Fit and Support

Check the 20-inch seat width and 18-inch depth against the user's seated measurements, posture, clothing and positioning needs. The wide seat does not establish fit on its own; consider armrest clearance, foot support and the way the user will move into and out of the chair. Confirm the selected footplate and support components in the order configuration.

Folding and Transport

The backrest folds and the footrests detach, allowing the chair to be stored in a smaller profile. The listed open width is 28 inches and folded width 14 inches, with an overall length of 41 inches. The chair weighs 40 lb as listed; the final lifting load can vary with removable footrests and accessories. Measure the vehicle opening and cargo space, and plan how the wheelchair will be lifted and secured.

Wheels and Braking

The 24 x 1.75-inch polyurethane-tired mag wheels, heavy-duty casters and adjustable toggle wheel locks are specified for the KM8520F20W-HA. Confirm wheel-lock operation and caster condition before use, especially on a slope or during transfers. The chair is manually propelled and does not provide powered assistance.

Before Ordering

Verify the exact KM8520F20W-HA model, 20-inch seat, 350 lb capacity, open and folded dimensions and included footrest/support configuration. Specifications for other KM-8520 suffixes are not interchangeable with this 20-inch listing.
