Karman VIP-515 Tilt-In-Space Folding Manual Wheelchair
The VIP-515 is a folding manual wheelchair with a tilt-in-space range of 0 to 35 degrees and Karman's center-of-gravity positioning design. Tilting changes the chair's seating angle while preserving the configured relationship between the seat and back; it is different from a reclining back that moves independently. The frame is made from T6 aluminum and the chair folds for transport, but the support features and complete weight vary with the selected configuration.
Positioning and Seating Options
The listing describes 16- or 18-inch seat widths, optional seat depths of 17 or 18 inches, flip-back height-adjustable armrests, swing-in/swing-away footrests and a removable headrest. A seat belt restraint and ergonomic head pillow are listed as included. Confirm which supports and dimensions are part of the selected order; accessories such as leg straps, cushions and tie-down kits are separate options.
Tilt, Fit and Daily Use
Use the tilt function only as directed in Karman's instructions and as part of an appropriate seating and repositioning plan. Check that the selected frame, headrest, armrests and footrests support the user's posture and that the operator can safely control tilt and transfers. The stated tilt range describes chair movement, not a clinical outcome or a guarantee of pressure relief.
Folding and Transport
The backrest folds and the headrest can be removed for storage. Top Mobility lists 34 to 38 lb without riggings across configurations; riggings and optional equipment add to the transport load. Karman's current listing gives a 250 lb capacity, 44-inch overall length and 15-inch folded width. Confirm the exact weight, seat size and folded dimensions for the selected model before planning a vehicle lift or loading method.
Before Ordering
Verify seat width and depth, tilt setup, headrest and legrest configuration, restraint and included accessories. The 250 lb capacity and 34 to 38 lb listed chair weight refer to different limits and weight bases. Review the current order form and owner's manual for compatibility among selected options.
