Most wheelchairs with a straight backrest bar (rigidiser) are easy click compatibility with the System Trolley. However, some wheelchair brands use sizes and shapes of tubing that require an adapter or don’t have a backrest bar. A minimum of 25mm is needed between backrest and backbar. If an aftermarket backrest is used you may not have the min 25mm clearance and require a low clearance adapter sold separately.
To check if you require an adapter please use our downloadable Measuring Tool and follow these instructions Measuring Tools Instructions.
Phoenix System prices vary as they include different adaptors.
Quick guide to choosing compatibility.
- If your chair does not have a backrest bar or the bar is not round in shape a universal adapter will be included with your order. These include all folding frames and some rigid frames – Kuschall K, Panthera X, Motion Composites Apex, Aria.
- Straight bar compatibility option 19-22mm dia connects directly to your backrest bar. Straight bar 23mm and 25mm diameter bars will include a adaptor that attaches to your bar. Includes some Quickie / Sopur, Ottobock models
- Curved bar (the bar is not straight in the middle) includes some Ti-lite and RGK models. Quickie / Sopur oval tube/rubber grip, Nitrum, Krypton models will include an adapter to fit to the wheelchair.
The Phoenix System Trolley or Bags are not compatible with the bags from the All in One range.
RGK SUB 4 – As SUB4 chairs are made to measure it can be difficult for us to make a one size fits all compatibility option. Sub 4 chairs tend to have either a 19mm or 22mm round tubed diameter back bar so we have made up a kit which will give you options to fit these bar sizes. Please note you must have a space of at least 30mm between bar and backrest to use this adaptor kit. If you dont or have a different bar diameter you will require a universal adaptor and should order compatibility option “folding and frames with no back bar” so you receive this adaptor with your order.
