INTRODUCTION
The Gill 4 Seating System is the result of experienced, thoughtful design
and rigorous testing over 16 months of field trials, in-house testing and frontal
impact testing. The Gill 4 Seating System was successfully tested to ISO 16840-
4 at the Transport Research Laboratory in March 2012.
Many adjustable features have been built into the Gill 4, enabling it to
become an extremely versatile seating system, available in three sizes.
With two backrest options available, the Gill 4 Seating System has been
designed specifically by our engineers, to meet the known wide range of
demands placed on postural positioning seat units.
The “Dynamic” Backrest option, offers the ability to absorb the type of
thrusting forces, placed on it during user extensor spasms, with a uniquely
designed absorbing system, which is variable to suit individual user
requirements.
The “Fixed” Backrest option, offers the same supportive capabilities as a normal
rigid back seat unit, but with angle adjustment available to 90, 95 and 100
degrees.
RMS Ltd reserves the right to change without notice, the design, methods
of manufacture, or raw materials used in the construction of the Gill 4 Seating
System, where it considers such changes will serve to improve the product
quality, or become necessary to meet any changes in device legislation.
