The TGA Powerpack Plus is suitable for users up to 32 stone and is compatible with most manual wheelchairs as standard and a range of alternative brackets are fit to non standard chairs. Please list the make and model of your wheelchair and we will match the brackets. The Powerpack PLUS is the latest model of Powerpack from TGA. Like all Powerpacks from TGA the PLUS easily attaches to almost any wheelchair in literally seconds. Once fitted you will never need to push the chair again. Simply walk behind with your thumb on the control and let the Powerpack do all the work for you.
The Powerpack PLUS model has been specifically designed and introduced to give even more power and torque to push heavier users up to an incredible 32 stone (203 kg) limit and with the added traction of twin wheels enables you to tackle tricky slopes and uneven terrain with confidence.Please contact us to discuss compatibility with the make, model and seat width of your wheelchair before ordering.
The Powerpack PLUS model, like its baby brother, the Duo and the Duo HD, is fitted as standard with the reverse option, operated by a simple switch on the hand control. It allows that extra versatility and functionality which is particularly important in tight spaces with heavier users. The PLUS model also features a more controllable reverse option essential for use with larger individuals. This latest model to the Powerpack Range features an updated control system which is fitted with unique ‘soft start take off’ technology.
This new and remarkable TGA Powerpack utilises a 24 volt system, and delivers the ability to drive a manual attendant controlled wheelchair and occupant weighing up to 32 stone (203 kg). It also incorporates several new features to improve ergonomics for the wheelchair carer and propulsion experience for occupants.These include the new soft-start technology, enhanced safety levels and a usage monitor for optimising servicing schedules. The upgraded and more powerful 24 volt, 200 watt motor provides higher torque at its maximum speed of 3mph. This allows the Powerpack to easily assist a wheelchair attendant with a larger occupant in a safe, controlled manner without the risk of wheel spin.
This new, extra heavy-duty version will meet the ever growing demand for powered mobility that assists larger users. It also will continue the proven heritage of the established Powerpack range – first choice for UK Wheelchair Services, Healthcare Professionals and end users looking for the easiest and most reliable solution to propel an attendant controlled wheelchair.
*Range can vary according to user weight and conditions (such as terrain)
**Due to the specification of certain 'tilt in space' and bariatric wheelchairs (among others) it is important that the additional weight of the wheelchair itself may need to be considered when calculating the maximum weight the Powerpack can assist. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact our mobility advisors on 028 9267 7077 who would be happy to discuss it with you.
NB: The TGA powerpack is supplied with standard bracketry which fits a wide range of standard wheelchairs. Specialist chairs, or tilt in space chairs, may need bespoke bracketry, please choose this option prior to check out. The lead time for bespoke bracketry can be longer due to their specialised nature.

Most of the equipment listed on our website comes with a 12 month manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing faults. Please refer to individual listings for specific manufacturer warranty information or call us on 028 92 67 70 77 if required. Should a fault develop within the manufacturer warranty period which is found to be as a result of a manufacturing defect, the manufacturer will supply replacement parts free of charge. Some manufacturers offer longer warranty terms and some offer less terms on specific consumables such as batteries. Wear and tear items and consumables are not covered by the manufacturers warranty. The manufacturer usually includes their warranty terms in their user manual. If in doubt please ask.
As standard, parts will be supplied under warranty free of charge but labour charges will apply if you are unable to replace the part yourself. Labour and call out charge information can be provided by phone on 028 92 67 70 77. We strongly advise all customers to retain the product packagaing so that it can be used if the product needs to be sent for repair at one of our Service Centres. Customers should also note that all efforts will be made to resolve any issues in a swift and efficient manner but we do not provide an emergency on-call service.
If you are considering buying an electric wheelchair, mobility scooter, electric rise and recline chair, bath lift, hoist or electric profiling beds then you may wish to consider taking out our optional 12 Months Enhanced Warranty Support. As manufacturers’ warranties do not in general include callouts and labour, we highly recommend our “12 Months Enhanced Warranty Support " which covers the cost of call outs and labour to diagnose faults and fit warranty parts for up to 3 call outs in year one. Should your product develop a fault we will always try to diagnose the problem by telephone to provide the quickest solution. If you opt in to the enhanced warranty support we will appoint a competent person to call out and fit parts under warranty and there would be no charge incurred for the call out and labour.
If you don’t opt in to this service, we can either dispatch the parts via courier for you to appoint your own fitter or we would offer to arrange a chargeable call out for an engineer to visit. This enhanced warranty option doesn’t cover the cost of call outs and labour to repair or fit parts not covered under warranty due to damage or customer misuse. In the event of non warranty parts requirements labour and call outs are chargeable at the standard rate.
Our vast range of products includes many popular and common solutions along with many specialised and sophisticated bespoke products. We know that peace of mind is important for any user or customer so we try and provide all product warranty information. If you require specific warranty information on any product in our range just call us on 028 92 67 70 77 or make an enquiry on the product page itself online.
