Key Features
Product Highlights
The flip-back armrests on the 802-DY make side transfers noticeably smoother — the arms swing clear with a simple movement, letting users slide across to a bed or car seat without having to navigate around fixed armrests. The fold-back design collapses the chair into a compact footprint for vehicle storage, and the 24-inch flat-free polyurethane MAG wheels eliminate the ongoing maintenance that pneumatic tires require. For users looking to step into the K0004 ultra-lightweight category without paying a premium, the 802-DY delivers reliable daily performance.
