For those who are capable of transferring from a wheelchair to drive or ride, the Chair Topper is the answer for convenient and independent mobility. It automatically folds and stores a conventional folding wheelchair inside a watertight plastic cover that mounts to the top of most vehicles. A user-friendly hand-held control box operates the lifting, folding and storing of the wheelchair. It takes only 30 seconds to complete the operation. Power is provided by the vehicle’s battery and a reversible automotive-type motor.
The Chair Topper by BraunAbility is just one example of how the car industry has designed solutions to benefit people with disabilities. Average cost of a topper and installation is around $5,000.
Melissa says, "ATP Technology Specialists receive emails from vendors when they have received donated equipment from their customers. I was able to match a Chair Topper with a consumer. The only cost was the installation of $1,200. Thanks to the donation, the client is now able to drive themselves back and forth to work and not rely on their family for transportation."
