Golden Compass TRO Power Wheelchair Review
Golden technologies, was founded in 1985 by Robert Golden and Fred Kiwak, and it is a proud to be a true American manufacturer of lift chairs. Golden Technologies was founded on the pledge to “build it right the first time,” a motto that still holds true today. Golden and Kiwak began manufacturing lift chairs in a one-car garage and as their reputation for quality spread, the business grew. Their expansion into the power wheel chair business was the latest step in offering a line of products to help those with varying levels of disabilities. Since 2005, their Golden Compass series of power wheel chairs provides the maneuverability and stability of true center-wheel drive performance of the Compass and the new Compass Heavy Duty model. They are now proud to offer tilt seating for individuals who require a rehab seating system to tilt and relieve pressure from their muscles and joints with the Compass TRO model.
The Compass TRO model GP615 is the first tilt seating system offered by Golden Technologies. They have partnered with Motion Concepts, one of the industry’s leading tilt seating companies, to offer the Motion Concepts F Series CG Tilt Seat on the Golden Compass power base. The Tilt Seat features 55 degrees of CG tilt with 7″ of CG shift; a low 20″ seat-to-floor height; and a slotted seat pan and steel back pan. The seating system has height and angle-adjustable flip-back armrests; slotted telescoping leg rest receivers and is compatible with all front rigging.
The Compass GP615 power base is available with a variety of seats, including the high-back captain’s seat; stadium seat; van/pan seat; ProFlex seat and the single option tilt or recline seat frame.
