Design and Look improvements   11-17-2017

We want to inform our customers that after this date all units will have a couple of design and look changes which are all improvements to the original design. After the new design has been on the market for over a year now these are the slight improvements. 

1. The quick release button for the attachment arms is no longer red and big button. It was getting damaged in situations where customers are hard on the unit. So it is now a silver metal small button which is stronger to rough treatment. 

2. The arms of the attachment are no longer round elbows they are squared off by having tubing welded and meeting another section of tubing. this allows for many more wheelchair types and especially narrow sizes to mount easily to the unit. This is very nice for kids wheelchairs which are very narrow. 

3. Lastly the units going out right now do not have the logo.
