The Green Wheeler is a totally new concept in bowling wheelchairs. Developed with the assistance of green keepers, people with disabilities and bowlers of all ages, ETS with the Green Wheeler has now succeeded in bringing to life a bowling wheelchair that is uniquely suited to both the needs of the wheelchair bowler and a top class playing surface.

One of the reasons for the growing popularity of lawn bowls is the lack of physical barriers; the game can be played by those of all ages and level of physical disability. Australians with physical impairments soon discover that lawn bowls is a sport where they can not only participate, but quickly reach a standard that is comparable to and competitive with many able-bodied bowlers.

While the bowling community is welcoming of wheelchair bowlers, greenkeepers have been known to become very nervous indeed! When a wheelchair is wheeled over a green, both the large back wheels and the small front wheels have potential to dent and damage the playing surface. When the chair is turned, especially in a tight circle, the small front wheels in particular have potential to cause some serious damage to the green.

The Green Wheeler features unique wide front and rear wheels moulded from advanced materials that simply glide over the bowling surface. In recent field trials, the Green Wheeler has been demonstrated to have minimal impact on a greens playing surface. Even on a wet green with a 95kg user, the Green Wheeler left no impressions.

The rear wheels of the Green Wheeler are recessed under the seat, allowing an unobstructed and natural bowling action. The frame itself has a low centre of gravity to ensure optimal stability and safety for the user. A padded seat and backrest offer both comfort and postural support, while a range of accessories, including a drink holder; have been carefully planned with the bowlers needs in mind.

The Green Wheeler is a totally Australian-made and designed product and profits from sales support the services of CPL.
