Passenger Transit Wheelchair

AIRPORT PASSENGER TRANSIT WHEELCHAIR

The Melrose Passenger Transit Wheelchair transports wheelchair passengers from the check-in to the aircraft door. An assistant is required to push this wheelchair so it has a full width padded push bar for comfortable one or two hand pushing. Large anti tip bars extend behind the rear wheels and can be used as a kick bar – by placing your foot down on the bar to help tilt the wheelchair’s front castors up over curbs.

It is a fixed frame (non folding) chair that provides a longer life cycle because the frame has no moving parts. The frame is hand made from aircraft grade aluminium and is lightweight and rust resistant. Many of our components are made inhouse to ensure we maintain exact tolerances from the highest quality materials. All four wheels are solid, these provide less rolling resistance for easier pushing and maneuverability, they also require very little maintenance over their life.

A cushion is provided for skin protection as well as comfort, the skin on a disabled passenger can be susceptible to pressure areas, abrasion and bruising, even after a short period of time on a hard surface. Armrests provide support for passengers with poor or no balance, they also allow the passenger to pressure relief if required. Our armrests rotate back out of the way to allow egress from the side. A Hip Seat-belt provides support and extra security for passengers with poor or no balance. It also prevents the pelvis from sliding forward and rotating the passengers’ natal cleft on to the seat base.

Flame retardant soft trim materials can be used and can be certified to FAR23.853(a) and FAR25.853(a) App F Part l(a)1(ii) if required.

The chair can be finished in a large range of durable heat resistant powder-coat colours and your airline or airport logos printed onto the seat back.

Aisle Onboard Lift-Chair

FOLDING AISLE ONBOARD LIFT WHEELCHAIR

The Melrose Folding Aisle Onboard Lift Wheelchair has been specially designed to fit down narrow aircraft aisles and then raise the seat up above the aircraft seat armrest to allow easier access to disabled passengers.

The seat lift uses scissor lift technology to allow flight attendants to easily hoist the passenger from 480mm up to 660mm. The armrests, footplate and restraining straps all move with the seat making the transition easy and safe.

It will also fit into tight spaces like non-disabled public toilets, bus aisles, caravans and anywhere else a standard wheelchair might not fit. This model folds down to only 350mm height, 745mm length and 390mm wide so it can be stored in tight spaces.

A single pin locks the legs into place as you unfold it, while two pins lock the back into place. Armrests fold down, these can help to provide lateral trunk support as well as the chest strap.
