manus® 2011
Offroad beach wheel chair
Sand and seawater
This special wheelchair allows people who can only walk with diffi culty to go to the beach. For this purpose, it has been fitted with plastic chains instead of wheels. The axles are supported by iglidur® bushings. The ball bearings previously used did not even last a week against the aggressive sand and seawater conditions. In contrast, the iglidur® bushings are doing the job without any problems.
