PushLox Wheelchair Braking System (dual wheel Lock)

 

 PushLox Wheelchair Braking System

D's Locks have been brought back better than ever with the PushLox Wheelchair Braking System!

PushLox are hub locks (brakes) for manual wheelchairs that take the place of push/pull or scissor style brakes currently offered for standard wheelchairs. PushLox work independently of the tire by locking the wheel at the hub. Tire types and air pressure no longer matter; your wheels can be locked securely in place, regardless of the tires condition.

PushLox lock at the hub making them the answer to suspension chairs. They mount out of the way so thumbs stay in tact. Additionally, the brakes are no longer the widest part of the chair. They add no width to the chair, and wheels can be taken on and off with the locks engaged. PushLox can be self-installed in usually less than an hour, with no special tools.

PushLox Wheelchair Braking System Dual Wheel Lock Buyer’s Guide

The PushLox Wheelchair Braking System Dual Wheel Lock is an advanced mobility accessory engineered to improve user safety and control. Designed to engage locks on both wheels simultaneously from a single side, this system eliminates the hassle of managing individual locks. By providing a synchronized mechanical connection across the frame, it ensures a stable and reliable hold every time you stop.

PushLox Single-Lever Operation Mechanism

The core advantage of the PushLox design is its single-lever actuation system. Operating a single handle on either the left or right side instantly activates the lock mechanism on both rear wheels. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with limited upper body strength or one-sided weakness, allowing them to secure the entire mobility device quickly and with minimal physical effort.

Dual Wheel Lock Stability and Security

By engaging both wheels at the exact same moment, the dual wheel lock configuration prevents unintended pivoting or shifting. Standard single-side locks can leave the opposite wheel free to roll, creating a hazard during transfers. The PushLox system ensures that both tires remain completely immobilized, offering a solid base whether you are moving into a vehicle, transferring to a bed, or stopping on an incline.

Customizable Ergonomic Handle Placement

The control lever is designed with ergonomic adjustment points to accommodate various user preferences and hand grip capacities. It can be positioned for easy reach along the side frame, minimizing the amount of leaning or reaching required to operate it. This thoughtful layout helps maintain proper sitting posture while engaging or disengaging the lock, reducing strain on the shoulders and arms.

Durable Mechanical Cable and Linkage Construction

Built from high-grade aircraft aluminum and reinforced stainless steel cables, the mechanical assembly is constructed to withstand heavy daily use. The enclosed cable routing keeps the linkage protected from snagging on clothing or obstacles. This robust construction ensures smooth force transfer from the main lever to the wheel engagement pins without flexing or slipping under load.

Universal Wheelchair Frame Compatibility

The mounting clamps are designed to fit a wide variety of manual frame tubings and configurations. Whether installed on a rigid or folding frame, the mounting hardware provides a tight, non-slip grip without damaging the underlying metal. This versatile mounting approach allows the system to adapt to different wheel sizes and frame styles with minimal adjustment required.
