Description

The Turny Swivel Vehicle Seat is a powered vehicle-accessibility solution designed to make entering and exiting compatible cars and MPVs easier for people with reduced mobility.

Instead of transferring between a wheelchair and the vehicle seat, the Turny system allows the user to remain seated while the seat rotates, moves outward and lowers to a comfortable transfer height.

Once positioned outside the vehicle, the seat can connect to a detachable mobility base that functions as either a manual or powered wheelchair, depending on the selected configuration.

Quick Answer

The Turny Swivel Vehicle Seat combines a powered rotating car seat and detachable mobility base in one accessibility system.

It is designed to reduce the need for repeated transfers between a wheelchair and vehicle seat. The powered mechanism moves the seat outside the vehicle, where it can be detached and used with a compatible wheelchair base.

Vehicle compatibility should always be assessed before installation.

How the Turny Swivel Vehicle Seat Works

The system is designed to simplify the process of getting into and out of a vehicle.

1. Rotate the seat

At the press of a button, the powered seat rotates toward the vehicle door.

2. Move outside the vehicle

The seat extends outward and lowers to a practical height, helping reduce difficult lifting or manual transfers.

3. Connect to the mobility base

Once outside the vehicle, the seat can detach from the vehicle mechanism and connect to its compatible wheelchair base.

4. Use it for mobility

Depending on the selected configuration, the detachable base can provide either manual or motorised mobility.

When returning to the vehicle, the process is reversed so the user can remain seated while the system moves back into position.

Designed to Reduce Vehicle Transfers

One of the main benefits of the Turny system is that the user does not necessarily need to move between a separate wheelchair and vehicle seat every time they travel.

This can be especially useful for:

• People with limited lower-body mobility
• Wheelchair users who find vehicle transfers difficult
• Older adults who require additional transfer support
• Families and caregivers
• People of Determination
• Users who prefer a powered vehicle-entry solution

The suitability of the system depends on the user’s mobility needs, vehicle type and installation requirements.

Powered Operation and Smart Controls

The Turny Swivel Vehicle Seat can be operated using a hand-held wired controller.

Depending on the system configuration, operation may also be available through a compatible smartphone using Bluetooth.

The powered system controls the movement of the seat as it rotates, extends from the vehicle and lowers to the required position.

Comfort Features

The seat can be configured with comfort features designed to make longer journeys easier.

Available features may include:

• Seat ventilation
• Heating
• Massage function
• Adjustable backrest
• Adjustable leg support
• Powered seating adjustments
• Integrated seatbelt

Available features can depend on the selected configuration, so requirements should be confirmed before installation.

Manual or Powered Mobility Base

The detachable seat can be configured with different mobility-base options depending on the user’s requirements.

Manual version

Suitable for users who will be assisted by a caregiver or who prefer a manually operated mobility base.

Powered version

The powered configuration allows the detachable seat to function as a motorised mobility solution once separated from the vehicle.

This makes the Turny system different from a conventional electric wheelchair because its primary purpose is to combine vehicle seating, transfer assistance and detachable mobility within one system.

That sentence is important for SEO because it clearly tells Google:

Turny ≠ normal electric-wheelchair category.

Vehicle Compatibility

The Turny system is designed for installation in compatible vehicles, particularly suitable MPVs and commercial vehicles.

Compatibility can depend on factors such as:

• Vehicle make and model
• Door opening
• Interior dimensions
• Seat position
• Available installation space
• User height and mobility requirements
• Selected Turny configuration

A vehicle assessment should therefore be completed before installation.
