At just 22 lbs, this unit is incredibly lightweight, ensuring hassle-free mobility wherever you need it. This is, in part, thanks to its plastic frame, which allows it to remain as lightweight as possible. Further enhancing its lightweight design, the unit features two 6" never-flat wheels, streamlining transportation and maneuverability.
