Power Wheelchairs
Radical Holdings (Pty) Ltd t/a Radical Mobility is a South
African company that designs, manufactures and markets power
wheelchairs, which maximizes mobility and comfort for disabled
people. We developed a range of power wheelchairs that are affordable,
comfortable, safe and versatile – especially in their ability
to operate indoors and outside.
Radical Mobility aims to be a breath of fresh air in a stagnant
market, by providing a locally manufactured, affordable and
practical electrical wheelchair. Each person’s needs are
unique; so the power wheelchair must be uniquely suited to the
individual’s needs and that is what we do - build uniquely
suited power wheelchairs.
We deal with all Medical
Aids, Road Accident Fund and Workmans Compensation for you.
Computer Setup
One of the greatest tools in the 21st century, a computer!
Personally, as a quadriplegic, I cannot imagine my life without
it. It has opened a whole new world where you don't need
mobility to gain accessibility; it is just one click away.
Imagine studying, communicating with people across the globe,
gaming, chatting and, best of all, surfing the Web.
We will assist you in making your current computer user
friendly or supply you with a new computer configured for your
needs, Voice Activation Software, roller ball mouse, mouth
stick, eye level monitor… We can even network your house so
that you can do everything with a laptop anywhere in your house.
Let me give you two examples from my personal experience:
(1.) This complete website and its graphics were designed using
a mouth stick, all my company's documentation, financials,
quotations, e-mail, etc. are done this way.

(2.) Four years ago, while studying for my degree in
Information Technology, I developed a pressure sore and had to
spend three months in bed. I completed my assignments using
voice-activated software and a laptop computer linked via a network to
my desktop and printer. So yes, it is possible
- and we speak
from experience.
Care-giving Advice
What qualifies us to give care-giving advice? Well, six
years of nursing and emergency care before my injury and
eleven years of being a high-level quadriplegic; combine the two, and
I think you get the idea. We know each person is unique and so
is their level of injury and also the amount of care they will
need.
GOOD BODY MECHANICS means using the safest and most
efficient methods to lift and move patients or heavy items.
Efficiency is more important than strength.
What to do in the
emergency of autonomic dysreflexia, how to eliminate the
possible causes and treat the effect.
Radical Mobility is not just another wheelchair company. We
were born from personal experience and now share this
experience with everybody who needs it. We are always
available; just give us a call or ask your questions on our
disability forum
that caters all types of situations.
