Heavy-Duty Power Wheelchairs
Heavier weights can have an adverse effect on a power wheelchair if it is not specifically designed to carry that heavier weight. If the weight surpasses the chair's capacity, it can impede its overall functionality, disrupt weight distribution, and increase the risk of destabilization or tipping. It can also drain the battery more quickly and compromise the comfort of the ride.
For this reason, Quantum’s Q1450 heavy-duty power wheelchair has been specifically designed to handle weights of up to 272kg (42.8 stone) without any loss of functionality of stability. Read on to find out what key features are incorporated to ensure full safety of the user.
Heavy-Duty Power Chair Adjustable Seating Options
The Quantum heavy-duty power wheelchair is available with a wide range of comfort fittings as standard. The Q1450 with Contoured Seating comes standard with a Pinchless High Hinge High Back Captain’s Seat, which includes a head support and contoured seat cushion. If required, the customer can choose an extended version of this with lumbar cut-out and static hinges. Available seat widths range from 22” – 22”, while seat depths are adjustable between 20” – 24”. Alternatively, customers can go for the Q1450 with Synergy Seating, which has a larger range of seat width adjustability of 20” – 32” and 20” – 28” depth options.
Swing Arm Suspension
The Q1450’s swing arm suspension system mimics the system of a motorbike’s rear suspension system, connecting the rear wheel to the overall chair. This gives the power wheelchair a heavy-duty absorption of any lumps and bumps along the road, giving the user a smooth and pain-free ride.
The 4” x 14” pneumatic tyres, combined with the 2” x 9” pneumatic rear castors add to the overall strength and stability of the Q1450, making it the perfect choice as a heavy-duty outdoor power wheelchair. No matter the terrain (within reason), the Q1450 has the robustness to cope with a rocky or gravelly terrain, ensuring that the user retains access to the great outdoors without compromising on comfort, speed, or safety.
