Karman KM8520F22W-HA 22-Inch Extra-Wide Manual Wheelchair

The KM8520F22W-HA is the 22-inch-seat version of Karman's folding heavy-duty manual wheelchair. Its listing specifies a 22 x 18-inch seat, 350 lb capacity, 35 lb chair weight, 30-inch open width and 14-inch folded width. The wider seating and frame can provide more room at the seat, but also require broader doorways and turning space than a narrower configuration.

Seat and Frame Fit

Compare the 22-inch seat width and 18-inch depth with the user's measurements, posture and clothing. Check the 30-inch overall open width against bathroom doors, hallways, tables and transfer areas. This listing describes a 6061-T6 aluminum frame, double cross-braces and a folding backrest. Confirm that these features and the selected footrest setup match the actual order configuration.

Footrests, Armrests and Wheels

The listing describes flip-back, height-adjustable armrests, swing-away detachable footrests with a leg strap, adjustable anti-slip footplates and 24 x 1.75-inch polyurethane-tired mag wheels. These components affect transfer clearance, leg support and the space needed for turning. Check wheel locks and footrest setup before use and follow Karman's instructions for safe propulsion and transfers.

Folding and Vehicle Storage

The backrest folds and the footrests detach for storage, but the 30-inch open width narrows to 14 inches only when folded. Measure the vehicle opening and cargo space, including room to handle the 35 lb chair and detached components. The 350 lb user capacity and 35 lb chair weight describe different limits; neither guarantees fit in a particular vehicle or for a particular user.

Before Ordering

Confirm the exact KM8520F22W-HA model, 22 x 18-inch seat, 350 lb capacity, 30-inch open width, folding dimensions and included footrest components. Do not substitute measurements or capacity for another KM-8520 suffix or seat width.
