Heavy Duty Electric Wheelchairs

People with disabilities that are permanent often depend on heavy-duty electric wheelchairs to move around. These electric chairs can be used at high speeds and are adapted for different kinds of terrain.

They also have features such as reclining seats and elevating legrests. These features enable people to better reach cabinets and countertops as well as take part in daily activities.

Seating

It's important to take into account the capacity of seating when you are looking for a high-performance power chair. A greater weight capacity means the chair can accommodate individuals with a larger height and size, which makes it easier to move around comfortably. A higher capacity for weight allows for the use of powered mobility aids such as elevating legrests to reduce the pressure on your legs while improving blood circulation.

When you are choosing a wheelchair, you must also take into consideration the battery's life, the range of drive and any additional features. A quick-charge battery for instance, will reduce the time between charges, and improve your mobility. A dual battery connector will also double the range of your wheelchair. This is accomplished by connecting two batteries.

The drive range of a heavy duty power chair can also affect its performance, with front-wheel drives offering greater turning radius and better maneuverability. Rear-wheel drive chairs offer more stability on rough terrain as well as curbs. A power recline system will improve comfort in wheelchairs, since it lets you sit in a more relaxed posture and eases tension on your neck, back or shoulders.

A warranty policy can provide you with peace of mind in the event that something goes wrong. Many companies offer a warranty of one year on the frame, and six months for electronics. They also offer repair or replacement options.

Talk to a healthcare professional or a mobility specialist or occupational therapist prior to buying a heavy duty power wheelchair to ensure you get the most suitable model. They can assess your needs and recommend a wheelchair that is up to par for comfort and durability. They can also provide tips on how to maintain and care for your wheelchair so that it runs at its peak and lasts as long as it can. Before you shop, it's important to determine your budget. The cost of a chair can differ greatly based on its features and specifications. Some companies offer financing options to help make the purchase more affordable.

Capacity of Weight

When shopping for a power wheelchair the weight capacity of the chair is an important consideration. Heavy duty power wheelchairs are able to carry more weight than regular chairs and are made for heavier users. They also typically have larger seats and are more durable because of reinforced frames and motors. Some are bariatric chairs, which are safe for obese users.

When selecting a chair, think about the user's weight and daily needs when evaluating the wheelchair's maximum weight capacity. Overweight can damage the frame and motor, and also reduce battery life. It also puts the user at risk of injury due to a lack of stability. A chair with a greater capacity to support weight is an investment, therefore it is crucial to consider your user's mobility and health requirements prior to making a purchase.

To ensure the safety of your power chair, make sure you regularly check it. Check the casters for excessive wear and lubricate them as needed. Also, wash your chair regularly to get rid of dirt and debris. Additionally, ensure to keep your batteries in good condition and charger. If you're uncertain about how to take care of your wheelchair correctly, talk with a mobility expert or a healthcare professional.

Battery Life

The battery life for electric wheelchairs that are heavy duty can be very different. It's based on variables, including how much the chair gets used during the day, the terrain it drives over, and its overall weight.

The battery will be placed to greater strain when the wheelchair is required to perform more work in order to move forward. It is crucial to not use your wheelchair on rough or uneven terrain, as this can reduce its lifespan.

How often a battery is charged can affect its lifespan. Many users of wheelchairs charge their batteries only when they're low. This can lead to the battery being overcharged and reducing their battery's lifespan. It's best to recharge your battery at least once per day, at a minimum, every at night.

In addition it is an ideal idea to keep the battery at room temperature (77deg F) when not in use. Batteries don't appreciate extreme temperatures and storing them at either high or low temperatures can reduce their life span. Finally, it's a good idea to keep the terminals of the battery clean and oily with petroleum jelly. This will keep the battery from rust and also protect the internal plates.

By following these tips, you can extend the battery life of your powerful power wheelchair by at about half. This will let you make use of your mobility aid for longer and enjoy activities you like.

There are other good practices you can follow to ensure the highest battery longevity. One of the most important is to not let your battery discharge completely and drastically reduce its lifespan. Beware of the temptation to "top up" your battery since this can lead to sulfation and acid stratification.

It is important to ensure that your wheelchair is professionally examined regularly. This will allow the mechanic to detect any issues early and fix them before they become serious. By following these simple tips, you can improve the life of your battery and improve its performance.

Mobility

Power wheelchairs with heavy-duty frames provide the most mobility. They tend to be larger and have more powerful motors when compared to the smaller electric chairs. This makes them perfect for patients with bariatric issues. They're also designed to accommodate larger weight capacities and feature an extra comfortable seat that can be adjusted to suit different requirements.

They're generally more expensive than standard electric wheelchairs however, they're more durable and offer an array of different choices for customization. For instance certain models have legs that swing out, making it easier to get into and out of the chair. Certain models come with an electric elevating chair that lets you adjust the seat's height to ensure the perfect fit.

Most models can be controlled by a joystick located on the armrest. This makes it easy for those with upper body injuries or are weak to maneuver. Most models have a range between 9.8 to 22 and can reach speeds that range from 4.5 and 4 miles per hour.
