Wheelchair Power Unit

Power units can be fitted to our 33st/210kg, 40st/255kg and 42st/266kg wheelchairs. The speed controller can be placed on the push handle so an attendant can control the speed of the wheelchair while guiding the chair.

When a carer is guiding a patient in a wheelchair down a slope they will need to take the weight and restrain the chair to stop it from rolling away. This can be dangerous for a carer as they will be supporting the weight of the chair plus patient in a position that puts a lot of stress on back muscles. The power unit eliminates this risk by only letting the chair roll at a set speed or it will hold the chair still if required.
