Kid-man SteelMan XL Bariatric Wheelchair, 51 cm Seat Width, 180 kg Capacity

The Kid-man SteelMan XL is a heavy-duty bariatric wheelchair engineered to provide exceptional stability and support for users requiring a wider seating area. Built with a reinforced steel frame, this mobility aid is capable of supporting individuals weighing up to 180 kg, ensuring safety and durability during daily use. Its design focuses on user comfort and ease of movement, making it a reliable solution for both indoor and outdoor environments.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the SteelMan XL is its robust construction, which offers peace of mind through its high weight capacity and stable frame design. The 51 cm seat width provides ample space, while the inclusion of removable armrests facilitates easier side transfers for the user. Furthermore, the adjustable and swing-away footrests allow for personalized positioning and simplified access to the chair. The presence of anti-tip supports adds an essential layer of safety, preventing the chair from tipping backward on inclines or uneven surfaces, while the foldable frame ensures that the wheelchair can be stored or transported with minimal effort.

When it may not be suitable

This wheelchair may not be suitable for users who require specialized postural support or complex seating systems that are not provided by the standard configuration.

How to use

To use the wheelchair, ensure the brakes are engaged before attempting to sit down or transfer. The armrests can be removed if necessary to allow for easier side access. The footrests should be adjusted to the appropriate height for the user and can be swung away or removed to facilitate getting in and out of the chair. To fold the wheelchair for storage or transport, pull up on the center of the seat upholstery, which will collapse the frame inward. Always ensure the chair is fully unfolded and locked into position before use.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the width of your doorways to ensure the 71 cm overall width will pass through comfortably
• Verify that the 180 kg weight capacity meets the user's requirements
• Consider the weight of the chair (26.2 kg) if you plan to lift it frequently into a vehicle
• Check if the seat dimensions provide the necessary comfort for the intended user

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the tire pressure and the integrity of the frame to ensure continued safety. Keep the moving parts, such as the footrest hinges and folding mechanism, clean and free of debris to maintain smooth operation. Always engage the parking brakes when the user is entering or exiting the wheelchair.
