Anti-tippers, also known as anti-tip devices or anti-tip wheels, are safety features added to wheelchairs to prevent them from tipping backwards. They provide extra stability, especially on slopes, ramps, or uneven ground.
An anti-tipping device can refer to various designs, but generally, it's a small wheel or extension attached to the rear of the wheelchair frame. This helps keep the chair balanced and prevents it from tipping over backwards.
The main function of an anti-tipper is to increase safety and prevent accidents. By stopping the wheelchair from tipping backwards, it reduces the risk of falls and injuries for the user.
Anti-tip wheels are a specific type of anti-tipper that uses small wheels instead of static extensions. These wheels make it easier to navigate over bumps and uneven surfaces while still providing anti-tipping protection.
Installation methods vary depending on the specific design. Some anti-tippers require attaching brackets to the wheelchair frame, while others simply slide into existing tubes. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
The need for anti-tippers depends on individual circumstances and the environment in which the wheelchair is used. If you frequently encounter slopes, ramps, or uneven terrain, anti-tippers can greatly improve safety and provide peace of mind. Consult with a healthcare professional or wheelchair specialist for personalised advice.
