The Invacare Solara chair is simply the most exciting tilt-in-space chair ever invented. It incorporates features never before available on manual tilting chair, because it is built around a radically new concept - keeping the client center of gravity almost perfectly stationary throughout the entire 55 degrees tilt range. This allows for a dramatically more compact wheelbase, without sacrificing stability. It makes tilting the chair almost effortless, since client weight is not a factor in the tilting process. And it decreases startle reflex, since the client is tilted into the frame rather than around a fixed pivot point. But there is more to the Solara than a stationary center of gravity. A built-in 2" drop base facilitates remarkably low seat-to-floor heights. The standard flared front end increases space for feet between the casters. The positive lock mechanism eliminates the sponginess common to hydraulic locking cylinders. And for the first time ever on a manual tilt-in-space chair, the caregiver can tell at what angle the chair is tilted, thanks to a tilt angle indicator. It is ingenious, state of the art, and simple. That is the Invacare Solara.
55 degrees of tilt available (tilt indicator available) Adjustable-depth, adjustable-angle back.
Available seat widths of 14in to 22in. Available seat depths of 15in to 22in. Seat-to-floor heights of 14in to 17.25in when seat pan is attached to crossmembers. Seat-to-floor heights of 16in to 19.25in when seat pan is attached to seat rails
Center of gravity remains consistent throughout tilt range. Dramatically shorter wheelbase. Standard frame includes a built-in 2in drop base. Telescoping front end. 350 lb. weight limit (when ordered with the heavy-duty option package). Wheel lock for 12in wheels foot-operated by an attendant. One axle plate accommodates all wheel sizes.
Positive lock mechanism eliminates sponginess common to locking hydraulic cylinders. Reclining back option available
Standard flared front provides more space for user feet and reduces interference when tilting in the anterior direction.
