power chairs
Control at your fingertips & more...
The words power chairs covers a vast array of options. Whether you need a chair purely for indoor or outdoor use or a versatile cross over to do both we have a solution for you. Complementing that the ever increasing selection of input devices means controlling chairs has never had so many solutions.
The SEGO seating coupled with the powered seat functions all controlled through the joystick delivers both comfort and support. Whether you only sit for a short time or require full time postural control our chairs fit the bill.
We are very aware that powerchair users are very dependent on their chairs, and need them being reliable… with that in mind we only supply chairs in the Midlands so we can support you efficiently should you require assistance.
As many people have found during lockdown that having someone local they can rely on to respond to their mobility needs is invaluable.

Depending on what the wheelchair will be used for, the environment involved and any individual requirements, a rear-wheel drive (RWD), mid-wheel drive (MWD) or front-wheel drive (FWD) base unit can be selected. The base units are optimally sprung for comfort. If required, the castor forks in the RWD and FWD models can also be fitted with additional suspension.
As the SANGO advanced can be made with a seating height of just 39 cm (even with a powered adjustment), it is an ideal wheelchair for using in a car. When indoors, the wheelchair easily fits under worktops and tables.
Sango SlimLine

To come up with a design that was even more slim than the SANGO advanced SEGO comfort, DIETZ Power developers went a very long way. They even managed to reduce the width of the frame without it affecting the wheelchair’s handling, stability and technical possibilities. The SANGO slimline SEGO comfort is just 41 cm high, which makes it still easy to slide under worktops and tables.
Sango XXL

Sango XXL
This powered wheelchair with front-wheel drive is very strongly built and offers reliability. It combines excellent driving characteristics with optimum manoeuvrability and great performance outdoors.
In addition to all of this, users of the SANGO xxl can opt for powered adjustments (such as a back adjustment, tilt adjustment, seat lift and the “Catapult” seat) up to the maximum user weight – something that other models on the market do not offer.

Seating
Often users of Power chairs are sitting for long periods of time, and this brings its own problems. The principal of pressure care is to distribute the weight over as big an area as possible to reduce the risk developing pressure points.
As a rough guide when we sit upright 78% of our weight is transferred through our buttock and thighs and 18% through our feet if everything is set correctly. With only 4% being supported by our backs
Power Functions
Some power functions like the seat raiser are practical for everyday life; however the tilt in space function makes a massive difference to the 78,18,4 weight distribution. By redistributing the weight more onto the occupants back when tilted backwards with the added bonus of reducing the sitting fatigue from staying in the same position for hours.
When we get tired our heads drop, ever fallen asleep on a plane? And wished you had bought the neck pillow! That’s because once the head goes in a direction the body follows, so if it goes to one side not only does the spine bend but a percentage our 78% is now loading onto one side of our bottom. Even more uncomfortable is if the head goes forward onto our chest as it stretches the muscles at the back of the neck and we know about it when we wake up...
Specials
