Art Furniture for Wheelchair Access | Wheelchair Accessible Power Wheel #16

Description

The No. 16 is the only potter’s wheel designed specifically for use in rehabilitation programs. This variable speed power wheel is housed in a sturdy steel frame that was designed in coordination with leading rehabilitation and therapy experts.
This potter’s wheel is mobile and adaptable to the needs of every potter. It is completely wheelchair accessible and is also suited for a standard potter’s stool or throwing while standing.
It can easily be rolled into position on hard rubber casters, fitting through any 36" (91 cm) door. The wheel remains stationary during throwing, as four rubber feet raise the casters off the floor to level the wheel and secure it in place.
An adjustable crank mechanism adjusts the height of the 12" (31 cm) cast aluminum throwing head from 21" (53.3 cm) to 35" (88.9 cm). Speeds from0 to 240 rpmcan be controlled by the hand lever/foot pedal, which can be placed on the floor or clamped in position on the handy try at the side of the table.
