In partnership with its Dutch distributor Preston Ability, TGA
successfully debuted its new 32st capacity Wheelchair Powerpack Plus at
RehaCare International (Hall 05, Stand D34, 24-27th September,
Düsseldorf).
The TGA
Powerpack is first choice for leading healthcare providers, carers,
distributors and disabled individuals worldwide looking for powered assistance
to drive manual, attendant-controlled wheelchairs. Each reliable model has
a lightweight yet robust design, ergonomic controls and compatibility with the
majority of wheelchair types through an infinite range of UK manufactured
fittings. This market-leading product has been totally designed and built in
the UK for over 25 years and through decades of TGA development, has
evolved into a proven product that is trusted by 50,000+ carers
worldwide.
Appearing at
RehaCare for the first time this year, the new bariatric Powerpack Plus was
showcased alongside the established Solo, Duo and Heavy-Duty models. The 24v
Plus model eliminates the difficulties posed for carers when pushing
larger wheelchair occupants and negotiating slopes, ramps or uneven surfaces. It
helps to drive manual wheelchairs forward so moving and handling risks such as
back and muscle strain are reduced for carers. In addition to its remarkable 32
stone user weight capacity, the new 3mph Powerpack Plus incorporates
several additional pioneering features to enhance both the occupant and
attendant’s mobility. These include advanced ‘soft-start’ technology, extra
safety features, greater battery range and a service performance
indicator.
Eric Cooper, TGA
Powerpack Product Manager comments: “I am delighted to report our new Powerpack
Plus has received significant levels of enquiries at RehaCare. We were busy all
four days of the event demonstrating how this new solution will enhance well
being and independence for bariatric wheelchair users and their carers. It was
a pleasure once again working with our Dutch partners at Preston Ability who
supported this debut by demonstrating the proven results of our existing
Powerpack range. We believe this new model represents a significant development
in the global mobility sector and has already been endorsed by leading
Occupational Therapists.”
Each Powerpack
Plus is supplied with a two-year warranty and when off board charging is
required, the battery pack can be quickly removed from the chassis without
the need to disconnect complex wiring.
