Arly Velasquez finally gets "stairclimbers" on his TiArrow wheelchair

A good look at the cam-locks in action. E Bayindirli figures out a way to climb stairs easily. He invented this method more than 12 years ago using existing wheelchair parts, Hill-Holders in reverse action. Arly finally gets them installed on his new PIMP TiArrow wheelchair.
FOR ALL ASKING ABOUT EQUIPMENT TO DO THIS, HERE’S A COMPANY MAKING EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD PROBABLY WORK. I HAVEN’T TRIED THESE SO I DON’T KNOW FOR SURE. (I would be glad to try.)

As a quadriplegic this may not help me so much but I will deftly pass this on to my friends at the PVA. That's the paralyzed veterans of America. And I know it will be very useful for a lot of guys and girls out there. Thanks for sharing this.

[@ebaysutube]

+Scott Hill Thanks for watching Scott! Also thank you so much for that great attitude and passing it on.. It always suprises me how few people want to do this ( who could easily ) I find once a person TRIES it (even a 90 lb girl in my 39lb chair) they are often surprised how easy it is. A good idea might be for a rehab center to equip a light chair with the hill-holders and a seat belt so people could practice the method in total safety.(spotted by PTs.)

That's using the old noggin. If it holds in one direction, turn it around to hold in the opposite. Slick! Never had a need for the hill-climbers before, but now I'm going to get a set. After 25 yrs in a w/c, life just got more interesting.

[@Gitarzan66]

Made me cry. I miss my basement. My music room is down there. Very amazing my friends.

[@ebaysutube]

Thanks for watching Gitar Zan. You can still get to your basement and rock out! Even if you lack the arm strength to do this stuff with the "Hang Rail" (see my other vids) There are tons of solutions here on KZbin that don't require spending an arm and a leg on an elevator or powered stair lift, even this one (www.indystairlifts.com) which can go around corners would not work for me at my house. And of course you need 2 wheelchairs. Best of luck! I hope you can return to your music/basement. Where there is a will there is a way. If you(or get someone) can make a vid of the problem, I would be glad to try to help think about a solution.

[@Gitarzan66]

I did go down there tonight for a couple hours. I have a lot of work ahead of me down there. Its a mess from sitting for 2 1/2 years. I have a second chair down there I got off CL. I went down on my tookus. That was easy. The hard part was getting back in my chair at the top. I put a grab bar in but its totaly in the wrong spot. Going to be some trial and error stuff till I can wear my leg. I lost the old one to diabetes. I am going to look at some more of your vids. I was a contractor so I know I can build that handrail you put in.

[@Gitarzan66]

I made a knotted rope climber I guess you would call it. I put a 4 inch eye hook into the header over the top of my stairs. I had some climbing rope I ran though the hook. I moved my grab bar to a better spot. I am really weak but its a start. This is it until I can wear my leg. I am diabetic and we are slow healers.

Adjusted correctly, they won't slip. Unless your wheels are wet or under inflated. I've made the cam parts out of solid Aluminum before thinking the plastic ones could break. See first vid.

This is awesome man. I want to get some for my friend who is in a chair now. Only thing is once you get up the stairs what about going back down if there is no "ladder handle" like you have there? Either way the hill holders as they were originally designed would be useful for steep ramps.

[@ebaysutube]

Hi Bobby Brown, thanks for watching. Going down stairs is the easy part for most good arm strength wheelchair users, just hang on and drop down backwards. Of course you need a solid handrail to hang on to.

[@ginnyneal7549]

what is is called again? Held Holders, wheel holders? Couldn't understand and where to look for them.

[@ebaysutube]

They can be called "hill-holders", I've heard "Grade-Aids" these are designed for someone with low arm strength, to push up a ramp without rolling back down between pushes. The ones made by Quickie/Sunrise Medical are the ones I use in the video. They are very strong plastic but have a LOT of stress on them holding a chair and rider at ~45 degrees on the tip of a step on stairs. Obviously, this is an unintended use and needs to be mounted super strong by someone mechanically-inclined, who understand the goal.

How to climb stairs while bound to a wheelchair / Step 1: Be absolutely jacked

[@ebaysutube]

Great comment! 😁 And very light. Awesome power to weight ratio… But I’ve seen many no so strong people do it easy. A 100lbs girl para in my relatively very heavy wheelchair.. 38lbs she did it easily and said the same thing everybody says. “It’s way easier than it looks!” Arly actually blamed me for not explaining how easy it would be and how much it would change his live, starting with the trip to Europe, right after this video.

[@Wolf_12147]

Respekt

[@smokindatloud2107]

How can i get one of this???

[@maynardglam]

Do you need much strength to do this?

[@ebaysutube]

I’ve seen a 90lbs woman take my 40lbs chair up a flight of stairs like it was nothing, trying it for the first time. Strong, but not superhuman or anything... Everyone who actually tries it says about the same thing, “it’s much easier than it looks”. a higher injury like a T-4 may need to strap the chest to the backrest a bit. Please watch some other videos using this method. I think it’s the best manual way to climb stairs, but I could be biased...

[@PernillaArtistic]

I’m in a wheelchair but I don’t understand?? Is it in the back or front??

[@ebaysutube]

Hi Pernilla, thanks for watching. We just put them on any way that works but out of the way of fingers...This is Toni, he saw this, then built some. I'm very proud of him.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHacq2p_orN5b8mEinned by ebaysutube FRAANT07 4 years ago "Thank you soooooo much. This was unthinkable to me. Climbing up stairs WAS the last real obstacle to me. In a few days I will be climbing stairs!!! This is life changing. Thank you ps: check out my video "wheelchair LongBoarding" cheers" On my own wheelchair, they lock out from my back rest, as seen here...kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqrQgJV6i9B7hdU and on Arly's wheelchair in this video, they are on the lower wheelchair frame bar, again, out of the way! YOU DO NOT WANT TO CATCH YOUR THUMBS IN THOSE. Any good wheelchair mechanic can do this for you as long as he understand. Then, TEST IT FIRST WITH HELP! It's actually easier than it looks, a 45 kilo para lady used my (very heavy chair) up a whole flight of stair, first try, not even out of breath. W.C Ski racer, but still... Standing is cool too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnSrhXakbZ5jhdk

[@PernillaArtistic]

ebaysutube thanks for this tip I do understand it now but had to watch it a few times. I'm not sure my wheelchair provider accepts me doing adjustments of my own but I could ask for it. At the moment I can't do that kind of acrobatics that he just showed because my lower back has osteoporosis in it so all the screws and metal in there has no bone to grip, this means that my lower back is in a really sensitive state right now. Any bumps or strapping myself to the chair may cause me to be paralyzed which I m not at the moment and I don't want to get paralyzed if it may be avoided. Hopefully you understood my explanation. Enjoy!

[@chrizk.9343]

I’m having some health issues with my joints, but we had a family trip planned for New York City. This kzbin.infoUgkxuxJwamLFanm476LC5WPeTouyyU1GXomC was perfect! It’s lightweight enough that my friend could carry it up or down stairs when we needed to. (I can walk very short distances) It was comfortable for me to sit in, I would say if you’re super tall it might be a little cramped. I’m 5’1” and the foot rests were the perfect height. This may not be the best one for long term use, you get what you pay for, but for something that fits our budget that gives me accessibility while we deal with my health this was amazing.
