Permobil Complex Rehab Power Wheelchair Platform
The Permobil Series is a world-class, premium complex rehab power wheelchair platform engineered to set the industry standard for anatomical positioning, outdoor durability, and independent mobility. Available in front-wheel drive, mid-wheel drive, and rear-wheel drive chassis options, this platform features the patented ActiveReach technology, which combines power seat elevation with a forward tilt to facilitate easier transfers and reach. Built upon the fully programmable Corpus seating system, Permobil power chairs mirror the body's natural pivot points to minimize skin shear and provide clinically proven pressure relief, ensuring unmatched safety and comfort for individuals with complex medical and postural needs.
Key Points
ActiveReach Forward Tilt: Combines up to 14 inches of power seat elevation with 10°, 20°, or 45° of forward tilt, moving the user closer to counters, sinks, and safe transfers.
Corpus Anatomical Seating: Features an award-winning cushion and backrest design that contours directly to the body, mechanically sliding with the user during recline to eliminate friction.
Advanced Independent Suspension: Utilizes fully independent, oil-dampened or rubber-isolated suspension systems that absorb heavy outdoor shock and protect the user from road vibrations.
Versatile Drive Layouts: Offered in front-wheel drive for the best obstacle climbing, mid-wheel drive for zero-turn indoor handling, or rear-wheel drive for high-speed tracking.
Permobil Connect Intelligence: Integrates wireless smart electronics that transmit real-time battery health, usage history, and seating angle metrics straight to the user app or technician dashboard.
Heavy-Duty Power Motors: Powered by ultra-quiet, high-torque commercial motors that handle steep inclines, rough terrains, and long battery ranges with ease.
