Transfer Platform
MANUAL TRANSFER BOARD
The BraunAbility Transfer Board is not only for wheelchair users. Anyone who needs a little help getting seated can use it, for example if you are getting seated from a standing position.
The transfer board gives you a place to sit without having to crouch into the car at the same time. When standing up, the transfer board makes it possible to rise straight up. You can even hold on to the door for extra leverage.
The BraunAbility Transfer Board is possible to install in most cars. One thing to take into consideration is the height of the car. This depends of course on how you use the transfer board.
A transfer board in an SUV, for example, will most likely not be a good solution for a wheelchair user. Here the difference in height will be too great. In this case, a seat lift, like the Turny Evo, will be a better solution. However, if you’re standing, a transfer board in an SUV might even be a great solution. Here the higher position will make getting seated and standing up less strenuous.
ELECTRIC TIP UP PLATE
The Kivi electrical tip-up plate is used by people who find it difficult to transfer from the wheelchair to the car seat and vice versa. It serves as a transfer bridge between car seat and wheelchair whenever they are located at different heights, as in the case of MPVs and off-road vehicles.
The electrical tip-up plate can be installed on vehicles with three or five doors, on either the driver side or the passenger side. It does not alter the original making of the car and it does not require the replacement of the seat or of the seat belt.
It’s recommended for vehicles such as MPVs or off-road vehicles with really high seats: the user transfers from the wheelchair to the tip-up plate and the plate rises up to the seat level by means of an electric motor. The user controls the up and down movement by means of a push-button handset or a switch, arranged in a convenient position.
When travelling, the plate has to be removed in order to avoid obstructions for other car users. The electrical tip-up plate is provided with a safety system which automatically stops its rising at the end of the stroke and prevents it starting when the corresponding door is closed.
