Orion 3 Tilt Wheelchair

The Orion 3 Tilt Wheelchair is Future Mobility Healthcare's Orion III, a steel tilt-in-space manual wheelchair for adults who sit most of the day and have a caregiver to change their position. The caregiver squeezes a trigger on the push handle, or presses an optional foot pedal, and two gas cylinders let the seat, back and footrests rotate back together to as much as 45 degrees, then hold that angle when released. Each chair is built to order from 16" to 24" wide, and the seat can be set as low as 13" for a person who moves the chair with their feet.

Description

The Future Mobility Orion III (model WM0001195) is a steel tilt-in-space wheelchair for an adult with a caregiver to change their position through the day.

What does it do and how does it work?

A caregiver squeezes the trigger on the push handle; two gas cylinders tilt the seat, back and footrests together and hold the angle, up to 45 degrees (40 with tilt assist, 38 with power tilt).
The frame does not fold; the back folds down, and the arms and footrests lift off.
Steel frame, at 65 lb (29 kg) with the seating system.
Frames 16 to 20 or 20 to 24 in wide, each widening up to 4 in later.

Who is it for, and who should choose something else?

An adult who sits most of the day with a caregiver to tilt the chair.
An aluminum tilt chair: the Focus CR; the earlier model: the Orion 2.
No tilt: a folding wheelchair. Over 250 lb: bariatric wheelchairs.

Will it fit?

Seat width 16 to 24 in (41 to 61 cm) in 1 in steps; depth 15 to 24 in (38 to 61 cm).
Seat height 13 to 20 in (33 to 51 cm) in 1 in steps; a 20 in height needs a riser block.
Overall width is seat width plus 10 in, or 9.5 in with the narrow option.
Measure seated hip width, hip to knee, and knee to heel in usual shoes.

Using it day to day

Set anti-tips 1.5 to 2 in (3.8 to 5 cm) off the ground and footrests at least 2 in (5 cm) off.
Use firm, even surfaces, slopes of 10% or less, and no wheelies.
Never push or propel the chair with the seat tilted forward, and never tilt until the back is parallel to the ground.
The rider and anything carried must total no more than 250 lb (113 kg).

What does it work with, and what are its limits?

Rear wheels 12 to 24 in, composite with solid tires; handrims only on 20 to 24 in wheels.
The arms and footrests lift off; rear wheels release without tools only with quick-release axles.
In a vehicle, face forward, use the front and rear tie-down points, and transfer to a seat when possible.
Power tilt, elevating legrests and a foot tilt pedal are options; the Orion Back and Prism Ideal Cushion are standard.
Warranty: lifetime frame and cross brace for the original buyer, 2 years on components, 90 days on upholstery, 1 year on power tilt parts. See the Warranty tab.

How does it compare?

Orion 2: starts at 15 in and shares the 45 degree tilt.
Focus CR: aluminum, 33 lb (15 kg) transport weight, and tilt to 50 degrees.

Frequently asked questions

Which back angles can be set?

The back is set at -7, 0, 7, 14, 21 or 28 degrees to the seat, not the tilt.

Can the chair recline as well as tilt?

An optional recline stroller bar adds recline; ask for the range on your quote.

What comes off for transport?

The back folds down, the arms and footrests lift off, and quick-release axles let the wheels come off.
