New chair!

[shirley_hkg]

Did yours have the same speed quote ?

[Burgerman]

Yes except speed is faster. 13kph. But thats easy to adjust to 13...

Unladen weight is 190 (centre footplate difference)

Has anyone else used the Retract 4 swing away mount.

I think it is the best swing away I ever had.

I made a swing-away when modding my chair last year. But it kept on swinging away when I didn’t want it too

It didn’t really swing away but it wouldn’t stay put, so in the end abounded it and made a fixed one instead.

Must have been a design floor on my part.

You design floors SM? I think you meant flaw.

I think swing away's are overcomplicated. On my NHS Spectra, it's a scissor type with a sprung plate that hold it out straight. Where as a have a home made one (not in use currently) that was on my Mistral, that had a simple telescopic box steel with a winged screws to hold it straight. Basically it was four sections of box steel, and the last piece was solid steel with two hinges. The hinges would slide back into the box steel to lock it straight. I wish I knew where it was, so I could photograph it.

Underneath the armrest on most wheelchairs there is a small piece of box section. Find metal box that fit's that, etc

Whilst just thinking about it, if I were to remove the box section of steel from under the armrest and replace that with a longer length of box steel and mount it further forward, and put the current swing away

Sunrise Medical has it right, fricken Invacare
A controller fitted to a flip up armrest (if that were smarter it wouldn't need an attendant controller)
