AAT
Stand F130
AAT's
stand features their new range of paediatric and fitted seating designed
to interface not only with their stairclimbers but also to lock onto
buggies, feeding bases and into motor cars, helping with social inclusion
and very good for continuing respite situations, as children grow
and become heavier and less easy to handle. Shown left, the Gill
III fully adjustable seating system.
The company's products also enable standard local authority housing stock to be immediately available rather than waiting for extensive conversion before people with reduced mobility can take up occupancy.
AAT's S-Max Amazon aircraft chair is also represented. This has been upgraded and is now in service in virtually all UK airports, many throughout the EU and elsewhere around the world. This device enables passengers with reduced mobility to embark with dignity and comfort onto virtually all aircraft with virtually no physical strain on staff employed to perform the task.
The
C-Max U2 ambulance chair, which has won a contract to supply Scottish
Amblance with up to 300 devices, has been upgraded and can now be charged
in
situ in the ambulance, and passengers can remain seated in the chair
whilst
in transit, further reducing the strain on staff. Patients
of significant weight (towards 25 stones) have been successfully transported
from home, via stairs to hospital bed with no significant lifting on
the
part of ambulance personnel. The Isle of Wight noted a reduction in musculoskeletal
strain absenteeism of approximately 80% in the first year of using the
C-Max. This meant the chair went cash positive in some 18 weeks and
will contribute positively to budget for the remainder of
its service.
