About this product
Model: Chariot II K2 Dual-Axle Series — Elevating Leg Rests
Availability: In Stock — Ready to Ship
A Wheelchair That Adapts to How You Move
The ProActive Chariot II K2 is designed to meet a wide range of patient needs, with a weight capacity of 300–350 lbs and a dual axle that lets you transition seat height to a hemi-level position for easier foot propulsion. It's built on a durable powder-coated silver vein steel frame, with multi-position caster forks that keep the ride level at any seat height.
This configuration includes padded elevating leg rests with composite footplates instead of swing-away footrests. A pneumatic piston lets each leg raise independently to virtually any position and hold there — especially useful for users managing swelling, circulation concerns, or limited knee flexion.

Specialist Insight: Elevating leg rests are worth choosing over swing-away footrests specifically when leg positioning matters for comfort or circulation — the pneumatic piston lets each leg be raised independently and held at any height, rather than the fixed footplate angle of a standard swing-away rest. That flexibility does add a bit of weight and bulk to the front of the chair compared to the swing-away version, so if easy transport is the top priority, the swing-away configuration is the lighter option.

Q: How do the elevating leg rests work?
A: Each leg rest is equipped with a pneumatic piston, letting you raise it to virtually any position and hold it there — rather than the fixed set of angles typical of standard footrests.
Q: How does the hemi-height adjustment help with foot propulsion?
A: Standard chair heights can leave shorter users or stroke recovery patients reaching awkwardly for floor leverage. Moving the wheels to the secondary mounting holes lowers the seat to 17.5 inches, letting both feet sit flat on the floor for a natural propulsion stride.
Q: Can the armrests come off completely for transfers?
A: Yes. The padded, upholstered armrests remove easily, creating a clear side profile for lateral transfers to car seats, beds, or therapy equipment.
