Carer Assist Wheelchair Powerpacks
Users of manual wheelchairs, whether self-propelled or attended, can benefit from the use of powerpacks and add-on power units. This allows the user to retain the advantages of a manual chair, while getting extra assistance for long journeys, hills, or rough terrain. Our range of power packs includes leading brands like TGA Powerpack and Empulse R20. All our carer assist wheelchair powerpacks are designed to be used with manual wheelchairs only.

What Are Carer Assist Wheelchair Powerpacks?
A carer assist wheelchair powerpack is a motorised unit that attaches to a compatible manual wheelchair to provide powered propulsion. Operated by the attendant, the powerpack assists with moving the wheelchair, helping to overcome hills, ramps and uneven ground while maintaining smooth, controlled movement.
Key benefits include:
- Reduces the effort required to push a wheelchair
- Helps tackle inclines, ramps and uneven terrain
- Improves comfort for both carers and wheelchair users
- Smooth acceleration and controlled braking
- Rechargeable batteries for dependable daily performance
- Compatible with a wide range of manual wheelchairs
Choosing the Right Wheelchair Powerpack
When selecting a carer assist wheelchair powerpack, consider the type of wheelchair it will be fitted to, the user's weight, the terrain you'll encounter and the distances you typically travel. Battery capacity, motor power, ease of installation and control options are all important factors to compare.
If you regularly travel outdoors or in hilly areas, a powerpack with a higher-capacity battery and powerful motor can provide greater confidence and reduce fatigue for attendants.
