BOUNDER Plus Conventional style frame with Power Tilt
21st Century Scientific's Power Tilt System (PTS) can be installed on all BOUNDER models. With a power tilt system, the user can control the angle between the seat and the ground. The front of the seat tilts up from the normal driving position, and the seat and back move together. Usually the tilt can be adjusted over about a 45 degree range. The seat to back angle is fixed, usually at 94.5 degrees, though other seat to back angles can be custom ordered. The arms and front rigging move with the seat. Most styles of BOUNDER arms and front rigging can be installed on power tilt systems, including DIPLR dual independent power legrests. The PTS gives the user added independence and improved seating comfort.
Many users prefer a tilt system in combination with a power recliner, power seat elevator, and/or power legrests. See the combination system listings for more information.
The PTS is normally configured for a sheet metal pan seat. However, sling upholstery as well as other forms of solid seating are also available. If power tilt is combined with a power recline and/or a seat elevate system, a sling seat may be possible. Sling backs, solid backs and sheet metal pan backs can be installed on all PTS chairs.
