Active Pozi-trak drive system (APT) 

Patented by Glide, the APT is a unique suspension system that was developed to enhance the performance of its latest Mid Wheel Drive wheelchair. It is a three functional operation that increases traction on its drive wheels, aids with kerb climbing and acts as an anti-pitch device. The suspension system also eliminates nose dive when descending road side kerbs.

The drive wheels are set positive meaning when the wheelchair is on a level ground a preload of up to 20kg (depending on spring set up type) is on each drive wheel. This unique system greatly improves traction for driving and braking. It also performs extremely well in emergency down hill braking.

The APT is a low maintenance system and has eliminated the need for complex moving parts that need constant servicing or adjustment’s. Also, with the combination of varying spring set ups, the wheelchair can be fine tuned to suit the needs of the user.

Kerb climbing abilities.

APT (Active Pozi Trak) is a unique suspension system patented by Glide that enables the Centro to climb kerbs up to 80mm high. This system increases traction on the drive wheels, aids with kerb climbing and acts as an anti pitch device. The suspension system also eliminates nose dive when descending road side kerbs.
