Sector: Disabled mobility vehicles

Description: Disabled elevators

Project name: RGS08083

Year: 2008

Material used: Baydur 60 + Baydur 110

Type of mold: 6 aluminium molds

Design: In this particular project, polyurethane was used for both the outer shell (covering) of metal parts and as structural element. The main problem in developing the design was calculating the correct section to ensure adequate strength. Extremely resistant coating prevents abrasion from the constant rolling of the wheels. All the components are painted black in bulk, so that even in case of scratching the colour will remain consistent.

Benefit: This innovative products combines pleasant appearance with the use of polyurethane as bearing structure. The elastic properties of polyurethane provide a solution to misalignment problems between the wheelchair plane and the street plane.
