Platform Details
Robust wheel and axle assemblies which are placed at each corner of the chassis to maximise the wheelbase footprint and provide soft, silent, first contact with walls and steps. Large solid rubber wheels roll easily over debris and rough surfaces while the unitised wheel/axle assembly greatly contributes to strength.
The rear wheels are equipped with brakes that are positive and do not slip when wet (even after years of use)
The brake disengagement pedal is gumboot friendly and can either intermittently disengage the brakes, or hold them open while the platform is being towed on two wheels (when being transported) or used on four wheels as a trolley
A non-slip strong aluminium deck with drainage holes (600 wide x 715 long).
Platform height is 225mm from ground when folded down and rises through four more steps to full height at 850mm from ground. Positioning is by a Lynch Pin, at either side of the deck, being placed through holes to engage with a slider beneath the deck (a quick and positive operation).
Platform can be easily picked up by hand, or towed by a walking person gripping the front axle (hand grip), with the brake disengaged.
