Atlantis Heavy Duty Power Chair

The Atlantis Heavy Duty Power Chair by Merits Health gives you the durability and comfort of a standard power chair with the added benefits of heavy duty construction and design. With a 31.5-inch turning radius, 12-inch drive wheels and a high-powered motor, the Atlantis Heavy Duty Power Chair will get you where you need to go with ease. 

Why We Like It
The durability of the Atlantis Heavy Duty Power Chair is evident with its four-post seat base, which provides more stability to the power chair’s frame. The extra-wide, extra-high back Captain’s Seat is keeps users with a higher weight comfortable and supported while zooming around the neighborhood. The high, 32-mile drive ranges provides peace of mind while out on the go. 

What Makes This Different
The Atlantis Heavy Duty Power Chair was designed with user enjoyment in mind. The high-back Captain’s Seat and padded armrests comfortably seat up to 600-pounds, ensuring a pleasant ride. The 12-inch drive wheels and 9-inch casters combined with the 3 inches of ground clearance let you easily maneuver over small obstacles while driving around town. The Atlantis’ high-powered in-line motors give you enough power to climb a 10-degree ramp, your driveway or even an uphill sidewalk.

Seat Depth1
Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg.

Back Height2
Measured from the seat base to the top of the chair back. Power wheelchair riders need upper back support, particularly for the moment of initial acceleration.

Hanger Angle3
Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the electric power wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular.

Seat Width4
Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant.

Front Seat to Floor5
Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Electric power wheelchairs are almost never foot-propelled by the user - so excluding the additional two inch footrest height for propelling is very rare.
