TRAVELER
-
The TRAVELER offers maximum performance in daily use and minimal transport size when travelling. You can load the wheelchair into the car and unload it again yourself, offering a high level of independence.
With its extremely torsion-resistant and reliable folding mechanics, the TRAVELER combines the handling characteristics of a rigid frame wheelchair with the advantages of a folding wheelchair. Furthermore, the innovative folding mechanism enables the TRAVELER to be folded inwards while sitting in it, allowing you to easily negotiate many narrow passages.
With a wide range of optional extras and accessories, an integrated tipping point and seat height adjustment, the TRAVELER can adapt to changing user requirements.
With the Heavy Duty equipment, the TRAVELER is suitable even for heavier loads, and can carry up to 180 kg.
With its outstanding robustness, the TRAVELER can also be combined with adaptive bikes, traction devices and steering attachments and other adapters.
Choose from 6 frame and 3 chassis parameters to configure the TRAVELER frame optimally to the user’s requirements. The front end is available with a G-shape or a V-shape. You can choose knee angles of 95°, for a compact seat position, or 105°, for comfort. The upper frame tube is straight, without a seat fold.
A slight fold adds flexibility when passing through narrow spaces
Automatic partial folding reduces the seat width of the TRAVELER when the user is in the wheelchair by about 15% (roughly 5 - 10 cm) to pass through narrow spaces. This option is often used to access toilets, overnight accommodations when travelling as well as everyday situations in professional or leisure settings. After passing through the narrow section, the folding mechanism is locked again in just one step.
By far the smallest pack size from 17 x 35 x 58 cm
At the smallest possible pack size, the TRAVELER even fits into a sports bag! What is more, when travelling by plane, you can even transport this mini-wheelchair as hand luggage.
All loading options are available:
- Folded with folded-down backrest
- Detached with folded-down backrest and drive wheels like a rigid-frame wheelchair or remaining on the wheelchair
- As hand luggage in a sports bag: folded, removed caster wheels, drive wheels, footbar and folded-down backrest
The ability to load and unload the wheelchair for transport by car, resulting from the small pack size and the low overall weight starting from 11.5 kg (loading weight from 8 kg), offers independence. The TRAVELER is compatible with most car loading systems and fits into even the smallest of boots.
Sturdy frame and torsion-resistant folding mechanism for maximum mobility and compatibility
The standard frame version is rated for loads of up to 120 kg. With the Heavy Duty equipment, the TRAVELER is also ideal for heavier loads of up to 180 kg. The locking S-struts that fold horizontally make the folding mechanism extremely torsion-resistant by design. This allows it to approach the handling characteristics of a rigid frame wheelchair.
Adapters let you connect traction devices and adaptive bikes in just a few steps, while the sturdy frame and torsion-resistant folding mechanism ensure optimal handling of the combination. Optionally, the extended wheel plate can be used to implement a wheelbase extension for even better traction.
Compatibility with wheelchair drives like e-fix, e-motion or Twion, for example, can also be provided upon request.
The TRAVELER is crash-tested. Transport restraint systems for wheelchairs in motor vehicles are available as optional extras, as are crash-tested headrests.
Option: One-hand operation
For users with hemiplegia or other restrictions affecting one side of their body, a very manoeuvrable one-hand operation set-up with a double-gripper wheel drive can be mounted up to a wheel camber of up to 12° (1°, 4°, 6°, 10° or 12°). Different gripper wheel materials, external diameters and distances to the rim meet a wide range of requirements. The drive wheels can be removed using a floating axle for simple handling. The removable cardan shaft allows the TRAVELER to be folded, even with a one-hand operation set-up added.
The one-hand operation set-up can be combined with the 'One-handed knee lever brake'. When the brake on one side is activated, a Bowden cable moves the brake pins on both sides.
Various back systems
The backrest can be folded and adjusted at seven different angles (without tools), offering flexible seat positions. It is particularly helpful when using adaptive bikes and traction devices, as the ability to adjust the backrest angle forward (perpendicular to the ground) is very useful to compensate for the raised caster wheels. This backrest is available as a lightweight adaptable back with back padding (belt system for optimal adjustment of slack and padded lumbar support) or as a sturdy back shell (very sturdy with fixed slack and adjustable lumbar support). The back shell can be removed using quick-lock systems to allow the TRAVELER to be folded.
The back cross bar stabilises the backrest and absorbs lateral impacts. It simply folds up when the wheelchair is folded.
Range of seat systems
For the TRAVELER, you can choose between the seat cover systems ‘Open belt system’ and ‘Closed belt system’ as the seat system. These seat systems offer pressure distribution that can be adjusted via belts.
Wide range of optional extras and accessories
Each TRAVELER is a customised model, its frame dimensions and equipment are always tailored to the wheelchair user’s needs. You can choose from a wide range of equipment for the TRAVELER, including footrests, brakes, push handles, back and seat systems, clothing guards, armrests, as well as drive and caster wheels.
