Dash Rehab launches two three-in-one power rollators for users with limited mobility
Mobility equipment supplier Dash Rehab has introduced two new power rollators to its range to supporting those who have trouble walking or are unable to walk long distances.
The versatile Dash 3 in 1 power rollator and Dash Ultra 3 in 1 power rollator offer superior performance and the advantages of both an assisted and electric wheelchair, according to Dash Rehab.
Each power rollator is highly adaptive and supports many needs – nursing, rehabilitation, exercise, and travel, through a variety of functions. It can be a rollator, powered rollator, walker, wheelchair or electric wheelchair.
This flexibility extends to transportation and storage. With a compact collapsible frame and swing away leg rests (these are also detachable on the Ultra model), storage is effortless, and travel is convenient. Each power rollator is designed to slide into a boot, onto a back seat or in a luggage compartment on public transport.
Brent McIvor, Sales and Marketing Director for Dash Rehab, commented to THIIS: “I’m very excited about bringing our two three-in-one rollators to the market as this will give the user more choice on what they want from a day-to-day point of view. The user will have the choice of a wheelchair, powerchair or rollator as their options daily with the purchase of this product.”
Both the Dash and Dash Ultra 3 in 1 power rollators boast Bluetooth functionality. This provides the user with the freedom to drive the power rollator using an app downloaded to a smart phone or tablet.
This option maximises the rollator’s flexibility – combining Bluetooth connectivity with the rollator’s powered functions to drive the rollator away into a storage space, for example, or call it closer for ease and convenience.
In addition to Bluetooth, there are front and rear controls on both models. When driving, the user can select up to five gears for speeds between 1.2 to 6km/h forward and 1 to 2.2km/h in reverse by pressing the gear + or gear – buttons on the front control. The joystick is tilted for the direction of travel.
When the front control is working, the rear control automatically stops, and vice versa.
The rear control on the hand grip provides power assist when used as a wheelchair or resistance when used as a rollator. The resistance mode (Gear: 01 to 03) prevents the wheels from turning too fast. If this happens the anti-fall function kicks in and the autobrake is applied.
The power assisted mode (Gear: C1-C3) provides automatic power assistance to push and for ease when using the wheelchair function. Power assisted brakes aid this.
The supportive seat with padded cushion and backrest ensures these 3 in 1 power rollators are comfortable as well as versatile. The backrest and handlebar height are adjustable. The backrest can be reversed too, offering support and giving confidence when in rollator mode. The large spacious shopping bag means there is plenty of room for shopping and essentials when out and about.
The Dash 3 in 1 power rollator weighs 18.6kg and is available in black. The Ultra model weighs 21.7kg and comes in white. Bother power rollators can support up to 100kg (15.7 stone).
When used as an electric wheelchair or in power assisted mode the Dash 3 in 1 power rollator can travel between 12 and 20 kilometres on a single charge of the 6Ah/10Ah battery, powered by 2 x 250W motors. Its charge time is 4-5 hours.
The Ultra is more powerful and can travel up to 15km on a single charge of the 24V 10A battery, powered by a 24V 250W motor with a charging time of six hours.
All these features and benefits factored in with stock availability make both products an attractive addition for equipment providers. The Dash 3 in 1 power rollator and Dash Ultra 3 in 1 power rollator are available to order now.
Both power rollators are available to order from Dash Rehab now.
Dash Rehab is part of RHealthcare, which was formed through the purchase of Remploy Healthcare. The firm recently launched the Dashi Lite lightweight powerchair with a foldable aluminium frame.
