Stepping outside of the box and becoming one of your community's leaders is what your facility does best. Your patients and guests expect top of the line service, why should that expectation falter when it comes to the wheelchairs you offer?

The bold step of taking control of your mobile chairs

At most theme parks there's the option to ride a bumper car, or drive a go-cart. A central device that will allow the car to move or stop essentially controls the bumper car. A go-cart requires someone to manually release the brake and apply the gas for successful motion.

It's not that one is better than the other is, it's that one in more controlled.

When your facility switches from standard wheelchairs to a transport chair the statement is simple and clear. You want more control of your valued equipment. The basic transformation between the two mobile chairs is removing the option of independent movement.

Taking away the option for your guests or patients to propel themselves surprisingly sends out a positive message of good customer service. In a busy place like an international airport or major hospital the disabled visitors would like nothing better than to leave their navigation to the professionals.

Besides, who would know the layout of your facility better than your own hired and trained staff?

Deciding on transport chairs that won't stress your staff

In an office setting the pressure is on to get faxes faxed, emails sent, and copies made. An employee struggling with a task at a copy machine or printer could mean a missed deal.

At an airport or hospital, the heat is really on for your staff. Mishandling a wheelchair could mean someone missing a flight, or valuable life saving minutes lost. To help take some of the pressure off, introduce the new steel transport chair with a smart design.

This chair is super easy to use with hassle free modifications. For example, instead of removing armrests and leg rests to allow entry into the chair, all your employees have to do is lift the armrest. This is often called "pivotal entry", which simply means your patients or clientele need only slide in to be seated.

The smart design also makes transporting both the guest and luggage a cinch. With 3 storage areas your passengers can enjoy the safe placement of a nice sized piece of luggage, a carry on bag, and even a strapped briefcase. That way your trained staff is able to focus more on customer satisfaction and less on luggage hassles.

Trying new things is not always the easiest thing in the world. Standard wheelchairs have been around for years, for many businesses it's the only mobile chair they will ever trust. Times have changed though, the cost of replacing mobile chairs due to theft or costly damage is financially straining.

Hospital directors and location managers around the country are starting to ask the same question, " is there a better solution?" Addressing the challenge and purchasing just a few new smart design transport chairs will provide the "yes" answer you need.
