General information about Caterwil GTS stair climbing wheelchairs

Caterwil’s electric stair-climbing wheelchairs aim to enhance the quality of life for wheelchair users, enabling them to enjoy limitless opportunities in urban settings and live fully without restrictions.

The wheelchairs from the Caterwil GTS series offer mobility solutions for individuals of all ages. They are particularly beneficial for those with mobility limitations due to conditions such as spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, lower limb injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders. Additionally, they can support individuals recovering from major health issues like strokes, chemotherapy, or recent surgeries.

One of the key advantages of these electric stair-climbing wheelchairs is their versatility, allowing users to access various urban facilities such as cafes, restaurants, cinemas, stadiums, hospitals, gyms, and stores like 7-Eleven, Walmart, Aldi, Lidl, etc.

Mobility independence is achieved through the electric drive system and the combination of wheel and track platforms. The wheel platform facilitates movement on smooth surfaces, while the track platform assists in overcoming obstacles and ascending stairs with individual step heights of up to 20 cm.

Caterwil GTS5 Lux special features

The Caterwil GTS5 Lux model distinguishes itself from the original GTS5 with its power seat feature, including electric footrests and a highly comfortable orthopedic seat that users can adjust to their liking.

With a width of 53 cm and side supports, the chair ensures safety and comfort for individuals of all sizes. The electronic adjustment of the power seat allows users to customize the seating according to their body type. This feature also aids in preventing skin issues and maintaining blood pressure by enabling users to change positions throughout the day.

Users can adjust various settings by pressing buttons on the wheelchair, including:

• Headrest height
• Tilt angles of footrests
• Cushion length
• Lumbar support level
• Tilt angles of upper backrest
• Backrest tilt angle

These customization options empower users to find their optimal sitting position independently. Furthermore, the recline function allows users to transform the wheelchair into a resting bed when needed.

The height of the GTS5 Lux (excluding headrest) is 116 cm, making it suitable for transportation in vehicles with ample cargo space like SUVs and minivans.
