My husband uses a 400-pound power chair (C500 and Quantum 6000). We love to travel and have purchased a product called Beachrings by Invisible Structures so that he can get onto the sand at the beach. The problem is that the stationary bolt in his chair drags on these "mats" to the point that they are virtually useless.
We are trying to find an alternative solution so that he can enjoy getting at least onto the sand and hopefully under an umbrella. We have seen "roll-up" walkways at various resorts and have even researched purchasing these for our own use. The problem is that to purchase a 3' wide by 6' long stretch weighs 59 pounds. If we were to purchase three of these, the cost would be $500 and the weight is prohibitive for us to try to transport these through an airport and to a beach.
Any suggestions as to an alternative method and/or material that would not weigh as much as the treated wood products we have found?
The other option would be to make the darn bolt retractable, but we have no luck with this either.
Thanks.
