The latest 500 model has the capacity to hold an individual weighing 228kgs and is suitable for transporting heavier weights. The new design features includes the smooth transportation on steep inclines of 45° essentially reducing the strain on the operators during use.
The lightweight frame has generated additional savings to accommodate supplementary features such as a footrest, which can also be used as a support handle when the chair is being used in a two-person operation and foldaway handles for extra support. The width of the frame has also increased and padded patient restraint straps added allowing any individual below the specified weight to be safely transported with ease.
