Consort Engineering are no longer in existence unfortunately. However, Brendan Lomas is still operating as BML Manufacturing Ltd and he is keen to produce the platforms again if there is sufficient demand. To express an interest and to obtain further information, please contact either myself or BML Manufacturing directly.

We use the platforms in the wheelchair service and in the Technical Aid Service and have found them to be safe and reliable.

Subject: Re: Wheelchair stability testing platforms
We have a tilt platform designed by Mike Broadhurst from the Newcastle
Regional Medical Physics Dept. It was manufactured by Consort Engineering
Ltd in Hyde, Manchester (Tel: 0161 366 6883). Had settings to static test at
the standard 12 and 16 degrees. Not sure if still available or whether the
company still exists but may be worth a try.
Marcus.

Dear All,
I'm struggling to find information on currently available wheelchair
stability / tilt test ramps or platforms and would be grateful for any
information on the method and equipment you are using to assess stability.
Thank you
David
