What is unique in our suspension?

Our technology of suspension is the most stable of all existing in the world, because it always stays on all 4 wheels, in spite of the uneven surface, which gave it its name (AFW - always on four wheels). The uniqueness of our suspension is proved by all positive responses to international PCT application.

Another peculiarity of our suspension lies in the reduction of load on person in a wheelchair, that appears as a result of speed-up while descending from the curbs and passing through uneven road sections. The vibrations from it have especially negative effect on the spine and create a risk of injury and back pain.But thanks to our suspension technology the person will not be tired from the constant shaking, even if our suspension will be on the simplest type of wheelchair. It ensures a stable movement on flat surfaces indoors as well as while overcoming outdoors obstacles (bumps, sand, mud, etc.).

What are the advantages of our suspension technology

suspension mechanism provides equal weight distribution on all four wheels - 25% of weight on each

in most suspensions only one wheel takes the load while meeting an obstacle, in our variant all 4 wheels take the load

provides a constant traction of all 4 wheels with the ground

amortization and stability of a wheelchair despite ups and downs of the road

increases the longevity of the wheelchair frame, and provides less wear of the wheels and welds of the vehicle

space-saving design for easier transportation with the possibility of folding

the wheelchairs with our suspension practically do not need maintenance

The installation of our suspension doesn`t influence on work and functional usage of additional wheelchair equipment

the production of our suspension does not require the change of existing assembly lines

increased flotation, which allows wheelchair to move on uneven surfaces

The wheelchair with our suspension doesn`t turnover and shake from side to side with a passenger while driving

The manufacturing process of our suspension is simple and not expensive, and thus does not increase the price of a wheelchair much

The reliance on all four wheels is achieved without the help of spring elements only by connection of all the wheels to each other and the force of gravity.

The suspension is fully functional during the installation of all four wheels of different diameters and not sensitive to wheel punctures.

If it is necessary, the shock-absorber also can be installed on this type of suspension

vehicle suspension may change the clearance and lean forward or backward, lean to the left or to the right (possible for expensive models)

Our technology helps to increase the profit and market share

Now most wheelchairs manufacturers increase the comfortability of their production by modifying the upper part of a wheelchair.

First electric sample

The price of a wheelchair with our suspension could increase by 40-50$, depending on the complexity of its modernization and the materials used for it.

However, our suspension helps to achieve it by improving the lower part of a wheelchair instead. The implementation of our technology in the production of wheelchairs will make them competitive to expensive wheelchairs, the suspension mechanism of which does not have a lot of mentioned advantages, allowing low income category of people to buy a unique product for a small amount of money. Due to the fact that our suspension is stable on uneven surfaces, and provides improved flotation, but the technology of its production is not expensive, the wheelchairs with our technology will help to capture the additional market share and thus to get a large increase in customers without increasing the production cost.
