Amylior
Amylior’s Amyseat power positioning offers a tremendous range of versatility, with the ability to create custom systems when needed... not just for its own Alltrack power chairs, but for other manufacturers’ chairs as well. Amylior calls its power positioning line “a complex seat- ing solution carefully crafted to meet any type of specification. Whether standard or custom, each power seating system is developed and manufactured in Amylior’s local facility to insure optimal quality in the final product.”
Amylior offers power tilt, recline,
seat elevation, elevating/articulat-
ing legrests, lateral tilt, and latitude
positioning (to move the seat forward/
closer to the floor). “Amylior offers a
multitude of power seating modules and
is specialized in designing and building
customized solutions, such as a lateral tilt
or a latitude seat system,” the manufacturer said. “Most of our modules are made to accommodate weight capacities of up to 550 lbs.” Power seating modules include 50° power tilt; power recline with Integrated Shear Reduc- tion (ISR); 11" (280 mm) of power seat elevation for consumers weighing up to 400 lbs.; power elevating and articulating separate legrests (swing-away legrests); power elevating and articulating center-mount legrests; and adjustable seat widths and depths in ranges to fit standard, pediatric or bariatric consumers, or those who need custom sizing.

LEVO USA
LEVO describes its standing
wheelchairs as “Simple — Straight
— Standing,” largely based on the
power chairs’ exclusive Dual Drive
System that delivers traction to
both the mid and front wheels. This
design, LEVO says, produces the
convenient maneuverability of a
mid-wheel-drive chair. “In the stand-
ing position, the motor/chain-driven
front wheels lower to the floor (and
the mid wheels up), offering sturdy
and stable traction,” LEVO says,
adding that its technology is “the
best of both worlds in a standing power wheelchair.” Other positioning options are tilt in space and a reclining backrest. The standing system uses patented Low Shear technology.
