OverviewD & D Systems provides affordable power seating systems for most leading manufacturers wheelchairs, as well as other custom rehabilitation products. While tilt, recline, and elevating seating systems are not new, D & D Systems recognized a market for more affordable systems. A wide range of wheelchair users would benefit from the weight shift alone of a tilt system if they could justify the cost. Our motto is to keep it "affordable, functional, and reliable". In many cases we utilize the original seating offered by the wheelchair manufacturers. This allows us to keep costs down and make the systems affordable to a wide range of clients.
Company ProfileOur systems are available for many leading manufacturers wheelchairs, which include Invacare, Pride, and Sunrise. We use the standard seat bases, with few, if any modifications. Therefore the standard specifications available on these units are not affected. By using the original manufacturers seating your choices of head rests, inserts, back rests, etc... are unlimited. Either install these items yourself or supply us and we will install them for you. Our Gravity Control Tilt System (G.C.S.) offers a unique feature that shifts the weight of the seat forward as it is tilting. The seat remains properly positioned and maintains stability of the chair. By shifting the weight forward this maintains weight distribution between the front and rear wheels to optimize wheelchair performance. Our reclining back systems are available on most chairs. Power recline is commonly used with our Shear Reduction System (S.R.S.). The Shear Reduction System helps to eliminate shearing between the chair back and the user. Our elevating seat systems allow the user to elevate the wheelchair for easier access to counter tops, desks, etc... The above systems feature a low amperage controller to control tilt functions. This control features a variable speed knob and auxiliary operating switch. We also offer a wide range of switching options to meet clients requirements that range from basic toggle switches to ECU operation, and more. For a basic tilt system D & D offers a QPX Series Tilt system that features a modular design, easy installation, 45° tilt range, Gravity Control System (G.C.S.), drive lockout, and a single heavy duty toggle switch. The disadvantages of this system are; there is no low amperage control for switch options or ECU control, and the tilt is constant speed (not variable).
