Application
May be suitable for bariatric use up to the specified load capacity
Sport-Trac Suspension allows the spring loaded drive wheels to move in two directions, up for rolling over obstacles and down when encountering transitions. The active rear anti tip wheels work in opposition to the drive wheels to eliminate the possibility of the chair losing traction when encountering obstacles, creating a safer, more secure ride.
This unique suspension system helps to harness the motors' torque to make smoother transitions in speed during acceleration or deceleration.
Factors To Consider
The space allowed on public transport for carrying mobility equipment is an area of 1300mm by 800mm.
Wheelchair spaces
All new Sydney buses feature special 'kneeling suspension' and a ramp to provide easy access for less mobile passengers.
There are spaces for two wheelchairs on the new buses. These will accommodate most manual and electric wheelchairs with max. length 1250mm, max. width 750mm, max. turning circle1500mm, and max weight 200kg.
For safety reasons, passengers in wheelchairs are advised to face the back of the bus, bracing their wheelchair against the side of the space, applying the brakes and securing the seat belt of the wheelchair.
Wheelchair accessible buses display a blue and white wheelchair sign on the front of the bus, and on the easy access door.
