KM-8520X Ultra Lightweight Bariatric Wheelchair – Durable, Foldable, and Portable
The Karman KM-8520X Bariatric Wheelchair by Karman Healthcare is engineered for riders who need extra width and strength without the burden of a bulky chair. Built from T-6 aircraft-grade aluminum, this high-strength wheelchair is one of the lightest bariatric options on the market — weighing only 35 lbs while supporting up to 352 lbs. Designed for daily usability, its quick-release axles, anti-tippers, and folding backrest make transport and storage incredibly simple.

Durable, Lightweight, and Easy to Transport
This Lightweight Folding Wheelchair made with reinforced 6061 T-6 aluminum frame and powder-coat finish, the KM-8520X is built to last. The 24” heavy-duty rear wheels and 8” x 2” front polyurethane casters offer a smooth, stable ride across different surfaces. The chair folds easily, making it convenient for travel and easy to fit into a car trunk.
Safety and Practicality for Everyday Use
Attendant brakes and a seat belt come standard for safety, and swing-away, detachable footrests feature Velcro-mounted leg straps for added security. The padded, flip-back armrests adjust in height and offer easy access during transfers. Breathable, flame-retardant nylon upholstery ensures a long lifespan and easy upkeep, even with regular use.
