Description

Heavy wheelchair users face major challenges because the high body weight demands special requirements. The wheelchair must have resilient tyres, a very stable construction and especially safe brakes. A wheelchair for heavy persons does not only have to consider the user but also the nursing staff. Hospitals and nursing homes face big challenges when their patients are heavy. Bräunig has therefore developed a special attendant-propelled wheelchair: RSJumbo. The RS-Jumbo has to pairs of rear wheels and of castor wheels. An extended push bar allows that two persons can push the wheelchair comfortably. Despite the higher net weight of the wheelchair, it is still manoeuvrable and facilitates the work of the nursing staff in everyday life and in hospitals; the rapidly removable armrests with integrated sitting up frames ease the work too. That makes getting in and out from three directions possible. For the safe transport, there are two drum brake systems which combine the friction and parking brake and a welded connection between chassis and backrest. With all these features, the RS-Jumbo is a special wheelchair which can transport people up to 325 kg. That’s about five times the weight of normal weight persons! The work in nursing homes and hospitals at home and abroad is not imaginable without RS-Jumbo.
