Ottobock Dino 3 wheelbase, easy to push, lightweight chassis for custom seating solutions
Whether you are an attendant pushing the wheelchair or self-propelling, it provides maximum comfort and support. It has a height-adjustable push bar and unique seat tilt of up to 30-degrees with self-propelling wheels.
Transportation is safe and reassuring as this wheelbase has been crash-tested for use as a seat in a vehicle, with a 120kg load capacity.
There is a range of accessories available including:
Individual footrest options
Side panels
Choice of rear wheels
The ideal options to choose depending on the needs of either the attendant or a self-propelling user.
30° Seat Tilt for greater comfort
One of the main features of the Dino is the 30° seat tilt, which with the larger rear wheels of 22″ or 24″ does remain at 30°—allowing greater pressure relief and comfort for the user.
Large Rear Wheels to self propel
As a standard, the Dino wheelbase can be ordered with 22″ or 24″ rear wheels. This gives the option for the occupant to self-propel the wheelbase.
With the larger wheels being a standard option on this wheelbase, there is no need for any special modifications which ensure production and delivery times are not extended.

Maintain Peak Performance with Regular Servicing
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your wheelchair performing at its best. By following this simple checklist, you can extend the life of your wheelchair and ensure your safety and comfort.
Daily Checks
- Ensure the wheelchair rolls without resistance.
- Check for vibrations, unusual noises, or any changes you notice.
- Confirm that the wheel locks are working correctly.
- Check the tyres: low pressure, flat spots, or signs of wear.
- Listen for irregular noises or rattles that may indicate loose components.
Weekly Checks
- Use a tyre gauge to check the tyre pressure.
- Check the tension of the seat upholstery. It should maintain a straight angle when the wheelchair is open and positioned.
Monthly Checks

- Check the fork bearings to confirm they are moving freely without stiffness.
Yearly Checks
