Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my specific wheelchair model?
These anti-tippers are specifically engineered for the following Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare models:
- Silver Sport 1
- Silver Sport 2
- Polyfly series
They are designed to integrate seamlessly with these frames for optimal stability.
Is it difficult to install these by myself?
Not at all. The installation is tool-free and designed for ease of use. You simply remove the existing tipping sleeve from your wheelchair frame, slide the anti-tipper in, and wait for the push-button release to click into a secure, locked position.
Do I need to buy two separate kits?
No, you do not need to buy two. These are sold as a pair, providing you with two anti-tipper units—one for each side of your wheelchair—to ensure balanced protection.
How do these help when going up ramps?
The anti-tippers act as a safety barrier by extending behind the chair. They provide essential support by making contact with the ground if the chair tilts backward, which helps you navigate inclines, ramps, and uneven surfaces with significantly more confidence and security.
Can I remove them if I don't need them?
Yes. The design features a push-button release mechanism. This allows you to quickly detach the anti-tippers from the side frame whenever you prefer to operate the chair without them.
Is the finish durable enough for daily outdoor use?
Yes, these are built for longevity. They feature a black powder-coated finish, which provides a sleek look while offering the structural integrity and durability needed for consistent daily mobility.
Are these considered a safety essential?
Absolutely. They are categorized as a vital safety accessory. By preventing the wheelchair from tipping backward, they provide a necessary layer of protection for users navigating various environments.
Will these blend in with my current chair?
The anti-tippers feature a minimalist, matte black finish. This design choice ensures they integrate discreetly with the frame of your wheelchair, maintaining a clean and professional appearance.
What is the primary function of the wheels?
The dual-wheel assembly at the end of each unit is designed for smooth ground contact. If the chair leans back, the wheels provide a stable point of contact to stop backward momentum while allowing for fluid movement on various floor surfaces.
Does this product require maintenance?
The construction is designed to be highly functional and durable with minimal maintenance. The main requirement is ensuring the push-button release clicks firmly into place during installation to keep the units securely locked during use.
