Why Choose Karman
Karman wheelchairs are built around lightweight aluminum and steel frames that reduce fatigue for users and caregivers during transfers and transport. The range spans from everyday ultra lightweight chairs to specialized tilt in space, standing, and bariatric models, allowing facilities to source multiple mobility solutions from a single manufacturer.
Choosing the Right Karman Product
Users prioritizing everyday ease of transport should consider an ultra lightweight model such as the LT-980 or S-ERGO series, while those needing back support adjustment should choose a reclining wheelchair such as the KN-880-E. Caregivers who frequently load and unload a chair are well served by a transport wheelchair such as the T-92XW, and users needing pressure relief through position changes should consider a VIP series tilt in space model. Higher weight capacity needs are best met by the KN-92XW-APT bariatric wheelchair, and users seeking assisted standing should evaluate the XO series.
