ProBasics K7 Heavy Duty Wheelchair 24” Seat Width 450 lb Weight Capacity

Why Choose the ProBasics K7 Heavy Duty Wheelchair?

Standard wheelchairs simply aren't built to serve everyone. The ProBasics K7 is engineered from the ground up for users who need more room, more strength, and more reliability from their daily mobility solution. The heavy-duty slide tube steel frame withstands the demands of continuous use at higher weight capacities, while the 24" seat width delivers the lateral space that narrows chairs cannot provide — improving both comfort and posture throughout the day. Hemi-height adjustment via the dual axle system allows users who self-propel with their feet to sit at the correct height, reducing strain and improving control. Removable desk-length arms and tool-free swing-away footrests make everyday transfers straightforward for both users and caregivers. A practical, durable choice for home care, long-term care, and hospital discharge settings.

Usage & Care

Self-Propulsion: Push forward or backward using the hand rims on the 24" rear wheels. Engage parking brakes before any transfer or stationary rest.

Hemi-Height Adjustment: Reposition the rear axle to a lower setting to reduce seat height for foot-propulsion users. Refer to the user manual for axle adjustment steps.

Armrests: Lift or press the desk arm release to remove. Reattach securely before propulsion or seating.

Footrests: Swing footrests outward or remove using the tool-free mechanism before transfers. Reposition once the user is fully seated.

Cleaning: Wipe the frame, seat, and armrests with a damp cloth and mild cleanser. Check the seat upholstery and arm padding for wear regularly.

Inspection: Inspect tyres, brakes, frame connections, and bolts at regular intervals. Refer repairs to a qualified technician.
