Richter Reha Technik Richter R.M.S. GmbH in Thurnau, Franconia, manufactures special wheelchairs and helps to provide mobility for disabled people in their daily lives. The company manufactures customised solutions that are individually adapted to the respective everyday requirements.
The manufacturer's power wheelchair "Tango GT" is characterised not only by its extremely all-terrain transaxial all-wheel steering, but also by its sophisticated environment control systems.
The aid can be used primarily outdoors, but also indoors. Especially when used outdoors, the wheelchairs have to withstand all weather conditions. The transaxial all-wheel steering enables stable manoeuvring in the tightest of bends. The wheelchair impresses with its exceptional off-road mobility and can even climb steep inclines without any loss of power thanks to its extra powerful motors. Another special feature is the triangular steering: the steering is not just spring-loaded, as is usually the case with wheelchairs, but can move in all directions.
Lubrication points on the aids are taboo. This is because grease collects dirt and dust, which inevitably falls onto the floor indoors. For this reason, only polymer bearings are used in the manufacturer's product range. In addition, high forces act on the installed bearing when driving over kerbs. The impact/impact effect is extremely high at the moment of driving over the kerb.
