TRAINER wheelchair accessible push and pull station

The TRAINER wheelchair accessible push and pull station combines two complementary movements, a pull and a press, on a single outdoor frame usable directly from a wheelchair. It strengthens the arms, shoulders and back while improving cardiorespiratory capacity. No transfer out of the chair is required, which is the condition that decides whether an accessible station in a public park is actually used or merely present.

Rated easy on the difficulty scale, it is designed as an entry level station: the two opposing movements give a complete upper body session from one position, which suits a user who cannot move easily between several machines. The structure is high quality steel, shot blasted and hot dip galvanised, with a double coat of polyester paint for durable weather resistance, and it is certified to EN 16630:2015-06 by TUV Rheinland.

Technical specification

Designing an inclusive fitness area

The station is intended for urban parks and municipal fitness areas that want a complete sports circuit accessible to people with reduced mobility. Two site conditions determine whether it works. The approach must be firm, level and continuous, with no step, no kerb lip and no loose gravel margin, and with turning space to align the chair with the handles. The 468 x 374 cm safety zone must be clear of paths, benches, planting and adjacent apparatus, with impact attenuating surfacing to EN 1177 sized to the free fall height and firm enough to roll on.

Because a push and a pull are combined in one unit, the station covers the two opposing upper body patterns without duplicating equipment, which makes it an efficient first choice for a compact inclusive circuit. It pairs naturally with a wheelchair accessible cardio station and a rotation station to give a complete session. Anchoring is into concrete foundations sized to the ground conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Does the user need to leave the wheelchair?

No. Both movements are performed from the chair, which is what makes the station viable on an unsupervised public site where assistance may not be available.

How is the resistance set?

The station works against the user’s own effort, so there is nothing to configure and nothing that can be set incorrectly. The difficulty is rated easy, which suits first time users and mixed ability groups.

What maintenance does it require?

Annual inspection of anchors, fixings and the paint film maintains EN 16630 compliance. Steel structures carry a 20 year warranty and wear parts remain available after the sale.
