Self-Propelled Manual Wheelchair KY-809Y

Self-Propelled Manual Wheelchair KY-809Y

The Kaiyang KY 809Y is one of the most widely used self-propelled manual wheelchairs for home care, hospital, and general everyday mobility. Unlike lightweight transit chairs, it features large rear spoked wheels that allow users to propel themselves independently or be pushed by an attendant.

Key Features & Design

• Self-Propelled + Attendant Option: Equipped with dual push-rims on the 24-inch rear wheels for independent user mobility, along with rear push handles for caregiver assistance.
• Easy-Clean Upholstery: Durable PVC leather cushion and backrest that wipe down easily with standard disinfectants.
• Side-Folding Cross Frame: Collapses laterally by pulling up on the seat cushion, making it straightforward to store or place in larger vehicle trunks.
• Integrated Safety & Comfort: Fixed padded armrests, flip-up aluminum footplates with calf support straps, and manual toggle wheel locks on both sides.
