R-Back   R-Back
R-Back
The actual width of the back is 2 3/4" less than the frame width (for example: a standard drop-in R-back for a 16" wide wheelchair frame will measure 13 1/4" wide). A wide range of back hardware can be used to drop and/or angle the back between the uprights or position the back forward of the uprights.
  • Choose flat or curved design
  • 1/2" plywood base
  • 10-32 T-nuts for mounting hardware.
  • Your choice of foam and upholstery color
