Why People Choose the Atlantis Heavy-Duty Power Wheelchair

πŸ“

24" or 26" Seat Width

Two wide-seat options to comfortably fit larger riders - no squeezing, no pinching.

πŸ’ͺ

True 272 kg Capacity

Reinforced four-post bariatric frame - built to handle full daily use without fatigue or flex.

πŸ›£οΈ

51 km Driving Range

Two 75Ah AGM batteries give you all-day power. Errands, appointments, and dinner - no recharge stops.

⛰️

Climbs 10Β° Ramps

Super-powered in-line motors take on home ramps, parking area grades, and hills with ease.

🎯

Tight 31.5" Turning

Surprisingly manoeuvrable for its size - fits through doorways, hallways, and tight indoor spaces.

πŸ›ž

Smooth 12" Wheels

Big pneumatic tyres soak up bumps, cracks, and uneven pavements for a smoother ride.

Seat Width Options on the Atlantis Heavy-Duty Power Wheelchair

A standard power chair has a 16"-20" seat. The Atlantis goes much wider - because real comfort for bariatric riders starts with real space.

MOST POPULAR 24" wide

Best for hip measurements up to 22". Generous space without being too big to manoeuvre indoors.

EXTRA-WIDE 26" wide

Best for hip measurements 22"-24", or when you want maximum hip room and side comfort.

Weight Capacity of the Atlantis Heavy-Duty Power Wheelchair

The Atlantis is rated for a true 272 kg weight capacity - not a number that drops once you add accessories or hit a bump. Here's why it actually holds up:

  • Four-post seat frame - twice the support of standard two-post designs. The seat stays anchored even at full capacity.
  • Reinforced steel base - the same heavy-duty frame design used in complex rehab chairs.
  • High-torque in-line motors - sized to move a fully loaded chair up a 10Β° incline, not just on flat ground.
  • 3" anti-tippers - prevent tipping backward even when accelerating up a ramp.

⚠️ Honest note: Weight capacity covers rider + anything you carry (oxygen tank, bags, groceries). For best results and maximum lifespan, leave a 11-23 kg buffer below 272 kg.

Driving Range of the Atlantis Heavy-Duty Power Wheelchair

With two 75Ah AGM batteries, the Atlantis can travel up to 51 km on a single charge. That's one of the longest ranges in the bariatric power chair category. Here's what that actually looks like in real life:

πŸ₯ Doctor appointment day: Round trip to a clinic 8 km away + parking area rolling around β†’ ~19 km. Easy.

πŸ›’ Errand day: Grocery store, pharmacy, post office β†’ ~13 km. Easy.

🌳 Park outing: A full afternoon at a state park with paved trails β†’ ~9.7-16 km. Easy.

🏠 Daily home use: Around the house and yard β†’ days between charges.

Note: Real-world range depends on rider weight, terrain, temperature, and battery age. New batteries also need a 2-week break-in period of daily charging to reach full range.

All-Day Comfort with the Atlantis Heavy-Duty Power Wheelchair

Long days deserve a chair that's kind to your body. Every comfort feature on the Atlantis was chosen with bariatric and senior riders in mind:

  • Captain's-style seat with thick padding and supportive bolsters
  • Extra-tall 21.25" backrest for full shoulder and upper-back support
  • Adjustable seat depth from 20" to 22" in 1" steps - dial in your perfect fit
  • Flip-up, height-adjustable armrests that detach for easier transfers
  • Swing-away joystick to roll right up to tables, desks, and counters
  • Semi-reclining backrest for a more relaxed seating angle

Power & Performance of the Atlantis Heavy-Duty Power Wheelchair

Two super high-power in-line motors give the Atlantis the muscle to take on real-world terrain that stops smaller chairs cold. The smart Dynamic LiNX controller makes driving easy to learn - even if you've never operated a power chair before.

Manufacturer Warranty on the Atlantis Heavy-Duty Power Wheelchair

Every Merits Atlantis Heavy-Duty Power Wheelchair comes backed by the official Merits Health Products manufacturer warranty - one of the most comprehensive warranties in the bariatric power chair industry. It's structured so that the parts most likely to last a long time are covered the longest, and parts that naturally wear faster have shorter coverage that still gives you peace of mind through the break-in period.

Important to know up front:

πŸ“… Coverage starts on the original date of consumer purchase, not the date of manufacture.

πŸ‘€ Warranty applies to the original consumer only - it does not transfer if you resell the chair.

πŸ”§ Merits Health will repair or replace any covered part found to have a manufacturing defect.

🏠 Coverage applies to personal home use only - commercial use voids the warranty.

Coverage by Component - What You Get, Tier by Tier

β˜… TIER 1 - LONGEST 5-Year Warranty

The structural backbone of your chair - the parts that should last as long as you own it. Covered for a full five years from your purchase date:

βœ“ Base Frame - the welded steel structure

βœ“ Seatbelt - your primary safety restraint

TIER 2 - ELECTRONICS 18-Month Warranty

Your chair's drivetrain and electronics - the powered parts that make it move. Covered for 18 months from your purchase date:

βœ“ Joystick, Power Module & Controller - your driving and control system

βœ“ Motor, Gearbox & Brake Assembly - what moves and stops the chair

βœ“ Electrical Harnesses - the wiring that ties everything together

βœ“ Angle Sensor & Circuit Boards - internal electronics

βœ“ Charger - the off-board 6A unit included with your chair

βœ“ Transaxle - power delivery to the drive wheels

βœ“ PC Cushion, Back & Positioning Accessories

TIER 3 - FRAME PARTS 13-Month Warranty

Structural and mounting components, plus your batteries. Covered for 13 months from your purchase date:

βœ“ Seat Post / Mount - the four-post bariatric support system

βœ“ Power Seat Actuator - for the optional power seat upgrade

βœ“ Caster Beam & Caster Forks - front wheel mounting hardware

βœ“ Joystick Mounting Bracket

βœ“ Metal Seat Frame

βœ“ Anti-Tipper Assembly - rear safety hardware

βœ“ 75Ah AGM Batteries - both batteries that come with your Atlantis

βœ“ Bearings / Bushings

βœ“ Front Riggings

βœ“ Non-Powered Footplate

βœ“ PC Cover / Gel Pack

βœ“ Swivel Seat Mechanism

What the Warranty Does Not Cover

Like every manufacturer warranty, certain items are excluded - generally consumable parts or things that wear from normal use:

Excluded parts:

βœ— Tyres & tubes

βœ— Fuses & bulbs

βœ— Battery cases (the casing, not the batteries themselves)

βœ— Plastic and rubber parts

βœ— Motor brushes & brake pads

βœ— Upholstery (seat pads, arm pads, padding)

βœ— Painted surfaces (shrouds, fenders)

The warranty becomes void if damage results from any of the following:

  • Acts of nature, theft, or loss - flooding, fire, or stolen units are not covered
  • Commercial or rental use - coverage is for personal home use only
  • Accidents - collisions, drops, or impact damage
  • Neglect or improper operation - not following the owner's manual, missed maintenance, exceeding capacity
  • Unauthorized service - repairs or modifications by anyone not authorised by Merits Health Products
  • Removed or defaced serial numbers - Merits must be able to verify your chair's identity

Important Things to Know About Filing a Warranty Claim

πŸ’° What you pay vs. what Merits pays: Merits Health Products covers the cost of the defective parts. You are responsible for labour, service calls, transportation, freight, and installation costs related to warranty repairs.

πŸ”§ New or refurbished parts: Merits may choose to repair your chair with either new or refurbished parts, at their discretion.

⏰ Parts bought outside warranty: Replacement parts purchased on their own have a 90-day window to report a manufacturing defect.

πŸ“‹ State law: This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have additional rights that vary from state to state.

How to start a warranty claim: Contact Dignity Mobility at 065 199 4174 or email info@Dignity Mobility with your order number, the serial number of your chair, and a description of the problem. As an authorised Merits dealer, we'll help coordinate your claim directly with Merits Health Products.
