Description
Medline Excel K4 Lightweight Wheelchair
The Medline Excel K4 Lightweight Wheelchair is designed to provide dependable everyday mobility while remaining lightweight enough for easier transportation and storage. Its folding frame, adjustable seating configuration, swing-back arms, and removable rear wheels make it a practical option for users, caregivers, and families who need a versatile manual wheelchair for home, community, and everyday use.
The MDS806500 configuration features an 18″ wide × 16″ deep seat, a durable black frame, desk-length swing-back armrests, swing-away footrests, solid flat-free wheels, and a maximum user weight capacity of 300 lb. The wheelchair weighs approximately 31.5 lb, providing a useful balance between strength and portability.
Lightweight Folding Frame
The Medline Excel K4 Lightweight Wheelchair features a durable TIG-welded frame that folds for easier transportation and storage.
At approximately 31.5 lb, the MDS806500 is lighter than many traditional standard wheelchairs while still supporting users weighing up to 300 lb. This can make handling easier for caregivers when loading the wheelchair into a vehicle, moving it between rooms, or storing it when it is not in use.
The folding design also allows the chair to occupy less space when stored or transported.
Swing-Back Desk-Length Arms
Swing-back desk-length armrests provide flexibility when entering or exiting the wheelchair.
The armrests can be moved back when additional side access is needed, which may be useful for transfers or when positioning the wheelchair beside a table or desk.
The desk-length design also allows the user to sit closer to many tables and work surfaces compared with full-length armrests.
Swing-Away Footrests
The wheelchair includes swing-away footrests that can be moved away from the front of the chair when the user is entering or exiting.
This design helps provide clearer access to the seating area and can also make the wheelchair more compact during transportation or storage.
The footrests should always be correctly positioned and secured before the wheelchair is used.
Adjustable Back Height
The back height of the Medline Excel K4 Lightweight Wheelchair can be adjusted from the standard 16″ position to approximately 17″ or 18″.
This gives caregivers and users additional flexibility when configuring the wheelchair for comfort and support.
Medline’s current K4 specifications identify the adjustable back as one of the key features of the Excel K4 range.
Adjustable Seat-to-Floor Height
The MDS806500 provides an approximately 18″–20″ seat-to-floor height range.
The dual-axle design allows the wheelchair to be configured at different seat heights, helping accommodate different users and mobility requirements.
Appropriate wheelchair configuration should be selected according to the user’s needs and, when necessary, with guidance from a qualified mobility professional.
Quick-Release Rear Wheels
Quick-release rear axles allow the large rear wheels to be removed without tools.
This feature can make the Medline Excel K4 Lightweight Wheelchair easier to transport and store because removing the rear wheels reduces the size and weight of the chair components that need to be handled.
Quick-release wheels can also make routine wheelchair maintenance more convenient.
Solid Flat-Free Tires
The wheelchair uses smooth-rolling solid, flat-free tires, helping reduce concerns associated with pneumatic tires losing air or becoming punctured.
The chair uses approximately 8″ front casters and 24″ rear wheels, providing the traditional wheel arrangement expected from a self-propelled manual wheelchair.
Comfortable Nylon Upholstery
The seat and back are finished with durable nylon upholstery designed for everyday wheelchair use.
Nylon provides a lightweight seating surface that is relatively easy to maintain while helping keep the overall weight of the wheelchair manageable.
Padded armrests provide additional support while the user is seated.
18″ × 16″ Seating Area
This specific MDS806500 configuration provides an 18-inch-wide by 16-inch-deep seat.
The assembled wheelchair width is approximately 25.25 inches, an important measurement to consider when evaluating doorway clearance, indoor maneuverability, transportation, and storage space.
300 lb Weight Capacity
The Medline Excel K4 Lightweight Wheelchair has a maximum user weight capacity of 300 lb (136.1 kg).
Users should remain within the manufacturer’s specified capacity and routinely inspect the wheelchair’s frame, upholstery, brakes, wheels, armrests, footrests, and other components to ensure everything remains secure and in good working condition.
