How to choose a wheelchair
- Frame material. An aluminum frame makes a lightweight wheelchair that is easier to lift and fold; the ultra-compact HP-Y08 weighs 7.3 kg net. Steel frames (HP-Y09 to HP-Y13, 15.2 to 24 kg net) are chosen for durability and budget.
- Self-propelled or transport. Self-propelled chairs have large rear wheels the user can push, such as the 58 cm wheels on HP-Y06 and HP-Y09 to HP-Y13. A transport wheelchair has small rear wheels and is pushed by an attendant; HP-Y04 uses 25 cm rear wheels.
- Size. Match seat width and seat height to the user. Listed seat widths run from 33 cm to 48 cm.
- Transfers and positioning. Flip-up armrests and detachable footrests (HP-Y07) make side transfers easier. Elevating legrests (HP-Y11, HP-Y13) and a reclining high back with headrest (HP-Y13) support users who need leg elevation or rest positions.
- Toileting. HP-Y12 and HP-Y13 have a commode opening, which saves a transfer in care settings.

Frequently asked questions
+How do I choose the right wheelchair size?
Start with seat width and seat height. Measure the user's hip width while seated and choose a seat that leaves a little clearance on each side, then check that the seat height suits the user's leg length and the tables and beds they use. In this collection, listed seat widths range from 33 cm (HP-Y08) to 48 cm (HP-Y13) and seat heights from 45 cm to 52 cm (HP-Y04 to HP-Y13).
+How do I choose a manual wheelchair for an elderly user?
First decide who will move the chair. If the user propels it, choose large rear wheels, such as the 58 cm wheels on HP-Y06 or HP-Y09 to HP-Y11. If a caregiver pushes it and the chair must fit in a car, a transport chair (HP-Y04) or the 7.3 kg HP-Y08 is easier to fold and lift. Flip-up armrests and detachable footrests help with transfers, and elevating legrests help users who need leg support.
+What is the difference between a transport wheelchair and a standard wheelchair?
A standard wheelchair has large rear wheels so the user can move independently. A transport wheelchair has small rear wheels and is pushed by an attendant, which makes it lighter and more compact. For example, HP-Y04 has 25 cm rear wheels and a one-click folding frame, while HP-Y06 has 58 cm spoke rear wheels.
+What is a commode wheelchair used for?
A commode wheelchair combines a wheelchair and a toilet chair, so the user can be toileted without transferring to a separate chair. HP-Y12 is a powder-coated steel commode wheelchair with a U-shape seat cushion. HP-Y13 adds a reclining high back, headrest, elevating legrests and a commode bucket. Stand-alone commode chairs are in the bathroom safety collection.
+What is the maximum user weight of these wheelchairs?
HP-Y04 to HP-Y13 are listed with a maximum user weight of 100 kg. The ratings for HP-Y01 to HP-Y03 are confirmed with the quotation. Tell us if you need chairs for heavier users before you order.
