TGA StrongBack Attendant and Self Propel Wheelchair

Developed in Switzerland, the foldable and lightweight StrongBack from TGA incorporates an ergonomically supportive backrest based on an award-winning seating concept. Its unique shape moulds around the occupant to provide greater comfort through effective lumbar support. This design is simple and requires little or no adjustment to perfectly fit the majority of people looking for an attendant controlled wheelchair. The StrongBack provides a solution for many users who struggle to achieve correct posture and are prone to back pain or pressure-related issues.

 

The new StrongBack has easy-glide solid tyres and is totally compatible with the TGA range of four Wheelchair Powerpacks. A Powerpack consists of a motor unit, drive wheel and battery pack that can be operated by the carer and attaches to the underside of the wheelchair utilising the welded location pins. Whichever TGA Powerpack is preferred, from the single wheel Solo to the bariatric ‘PLUS’, it will provide powered propulsion so a carer can steer the wheelchair with significantly reduced pushing.

 

The new StrongBack wheelchair from TGA is lightweight weighing only 11.3kg – hence it can be lifted by carers without back or muscle strain. It will fold in a matter of seconds and only requires a minimal amount of storage space. This is enhanced by leg rests that can be locked in a compact reversed position and do not need to be detached to save space – ensuring convenience is maximised. When folded, the shape of the StrongBack lends itself to being easily carried or lifted – ideal for storing in a car boot. The impressive new StrongBack wheelchair is available in 40 and 45cm (16 and 18”) seat widths and provides day-long comfort for occupants weighing up to 115kg (18 stones). A self-propelling version will be available later in the year.

 

Also available as an option is flip back arms for side transfers.
