Karman Healthcare continues to innovate and pioneer the ultra lightweight wheelchair category by offering the LT-980 series. At just about 24 pounds without footrest, the LT-980 series continues to push the envelope in design, function, and appeal for non custom, ultra lightweight wheelchairs. Utilizing the lightest, yet strongest aluminum, the LT-980 is equipped with standard features suitable for almost any daily wheelchair user that is looking to save weight, but maintain a certain budget in mind. The foldable, compact frame allows any family member or companion to lift and store the item just about anywhere. Comfort is also considered behind the design by including a padded nylon upholstery which is easy to clean, and maintain. An additional comfort feature includes the padded desk length armpads for ease of use when sitting at a desk, or table. The height adjustable footrest allow for a near perfect fit, for users between five feet, and up to six feet tall. Natural fit handrims which allow for a more contoured feel are also equipped standard, as well as solid, poly urethane 22 inch rear wheels, and 6 inch front casters that allow the chair to be utilized on just about any surface.
