17.1 Re-use
Due to its construction the Tango is ideal for inside use
(low seat height, compact dimensions) as well as outside
use, (lights, 40Ah/50Ah batteries, etc.).
Its high level of flexibility, due to the number of possible
adjustments, and the modular platform technology
(modular construction system) make the Tango ideal for
re-use.
Individual modules (seat tilt in space, backrest angle
adjustment) can be fitted and removed very quickly and
within the seating system there are a range of possibilities
so that individual adjustments can be made to suit the end
user.
Optional mounting of the operating unit on the left or right
side of the chair, with the possibility of changing later, and
adjustable distance from the backrest.
