3 POWERCHAIRS HELPING CINQUE PORTS MOBILITY MEET CHANGING CUSTOMER DEMANDS
MOBILITY DEALERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE NOTICED A CHANGING TREND FOR PRODUCTS THAT ALLOW PEOPLE TO ACHIEVE MORE , GO FURTHER AND INCREASE THEIR INDEPENDENCE . WE CAUGHT UP WITH A FOLKESTONE-BASED NHS APPROVED DEALERSHIP CALLED CINQUE PORTS MOBILITY TO HEAR THEIR THOUGHTS AND TO SEE WHICH PRODUCTS THEY ' RE SEEING INCREASED DEMAND FOR .
" We ' ve most definitely noticed a change over the last couple of years in the types of products people are seeking ," according to Chris Cox of Cinque Ports Mobility . " Whether this is due to the rise in use of the internet helping people to browse the full range of products , or because recent innovations in Lithium-Ion battery technology are fuelling greater product ranges we ' re not sure . What we do know for sure however is that the quality of products from the leading manufacturers is on a continually upward trajectory ."
Which three products are the leading three currently available to customers across Kent ?
" It ' s very difficult to outline just three . All of our free assessments ensure the customer ' s clinical and aspirational needs are met through the products we recommend . It ' s a difficult yet rewarding balancing act which often requires customers to trial each of the products first . This is all part and parcel of our assessments ," outlines Chris .
" For Lithium-Ion folding powerchairs suitable for cruise ships , storing in the back of the car or for taking away on holiday we ' re having great success with the new Drive Medical Folding Powerchair . At 27kg and with a range of 10 miles it ' s compact , liftable / hoistable and reliable ."
" In the medium-duty range we have the Invacare Bora or Invacare TDX . These are workhorses capable of up to 25 miles on a single charge , can turn on a sixpence and feature cutting-edge Linx technology . These powerchairs are able to meet the needs of almost all clinically led assessments .
" In the heavy duty category we simply love the Invacare Storm . With silent brushless motors made in Germany and large front and rear castors there ' s few places the Storm cannot go . Full suspension , lights and indicators and 6mph motors will leave you the envy of many ."
" For those in receipt of the higher rate of mobility component of DLA or PIP you can access all these and more on the Motability Scheme ."
