Hi Mary,
My floor mount of choice would be a Rehadapt mount over a Daessy mount as I feel it is lighter, looks better and has a larger range of options and configurations. For me the receiver
plate is sufficiently durable, however I feel it’s easier to clip the device into a Daessy receiver.
I’ve found that the aluminium ball that controls the angle adjustment binds with the steel inserts inside the receiver plate. With a lot of tightening and untightening, a burr will
form on machined locking nuts inside which can lock the ball even when the bolt/lever is loosened off. This is after a significant amount of time, and a lot of loosening and tightening. It does not put me off using them.
There may be times when you might want to use a Daessy receiver plate (like an AQRL87 as it spread’s the load better on the Rehadapt aluminium tube – not the standard one) on a Rehadapt
frame if the client is using a Daessy wheelchair mount.
Hope that helps.
Paul

Subject: Rehadapt rolling floor mount
Hello, I was wondering what other people’s experiences have been in terms of mounting devices using a rehadapt rolling floor mount? Our team have some reservations over the robustness of the mount that is used to hold the device in place.
Kind Regards
