Yes. The Chariot II has dual axle seat height adjustment and 8 inch front casters adjustable in 3 positions, allowing the chair to transition between standard height and hemi-height setup.

What weight can the Chariot II support?

Hemi Wheelchair – Chariot II Adjustable Height Mobility

Q: What is a hemi wheelchair?

A hemi wheelchair is a manual wheelchair that can be set to a lower seat-to-floor height so the user can reach the floor with their feet. This helps with foot propulsion, transfers, and seated stability.

Q: What does hemi height mean in a wheelchair?

Hemi height refers to a lower seat-to-floor position. The Chariot II offers a standard 19.5 inch seat-to-floor height and a lower 17.5 inch hemi-height position using its dual axle system.

Q: How does a hemi wheelchair work?

A hemi wheelchair works by lowering the seat closer to the floor so a user can use one or both feet to help move the chair. The Chariot II uses a dual axle frame to transition between standard and hemi-level positioning.

Q: Who should use a hemi height wheelchair?

A hemi height wheelchair may be useful for shorter users, users with limited upper body strength, users who propel with their feet, stroke recovery patients, and anyone who needs a lower seat position for easier transfers or stability.

Q: What is the difference between desk-length and full-length arms?

Desk-length arms are shorter and help the wheelchair fit closer to tables and desks. Full-length arms provide longer arm support and may be preferred by users who want more surface area for resting their arms.

Reliable. Adjustable. Built for Everyday Mobility.

The Chariot II Hemi Wheelchair is a highly dependable hemi height wheelchair designed for real-world use — from home care to high-demand environments like hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and long-term care facilities. Built with a durable steel frame and equipped with a dual axle system, this hemi wheelchair allows users to sit at a lower position for easier foot propulsion, safer transfers, and better control.
