PME exhibited at the ATSA Daily Living Expo on the 15th and 16th of May.
The ATSA Daily Living Expo is Australia’s foremost exhibition for Rehabilitation and Aged care Equipment. In 2013, around 100 exhibitors displayed a wide range of products and services. On display was the latest in assistive technology, mobility solutions, pressure care, employment support, accessible recreation/holiday ideas, modified motor vehicles and a lot more. Among these was a stand from PME Auto Conversions.
If you had the chance to come to the expo you wouldn’t have missed our stand. Covering the largest space occupied by any exhibitor (we like to make an impact), the PME stand displayed several of our cars, attention-grabbing interactive displays as well as a few other attractions.Vehicles on show included;
- A twin-turbo BMW with Footsteer
- Bill’s own red 56 Chevrolet pick-up hot rod with custom chrome electronic radial hand controls and custom polished stainless steel Wymo roof-mounted wheelchair hoist
- Can-am Spyder with PME designed hand brake, footplates and electro-mechanical park brake
- Capital Special Vehicles work closely with PME and used our stand at the exhibition to unveil their brand new demonstration vehicle complete with flat-floor, docking systems, side and rear entry ramps, airbag suspension with squatting capability for entry and exit, LED party lights and full-on sound system!
- PME Commodore with ABI loader wheelchair storage system
- The PME Space Drive electronic mobility controls evaluation vehicle, Evaluator #1
- VW transporter modified for wheelchair self-drive with space drive controls
- Capital Special Vehicles also brought along a wheelchair passenger configuration VW Caddy
- The Brand New PME Smart Car Demonstration Vehicle showcasing the latest in electronic mobility controls including the all new Ghost Ring and R-Tran transfer seat.
Our interactive displays were on display again. They showcased a large selection of our driving controls, from spinner knobs to electronic mobility controls, in an interactive way in which anyone could get behind the wheel and test them out. Screens were also mounted on the stands with videos playing that described the controls in front of the viewer.
The newly imported Paravan wheelchair was on show. We consider this to be the best wheelchair for self-drive and it received a great response. This wheelchair is the most flexible we’ve seen; adjustable on every feasible axis. If you want to check it out, we have demonstrations available at PME.
The Daily Living Expo was a big success. We hope you had a chance to visit our stand.
