TB UK030 PVC Handle Crutches Increased User Weight

24/01/2014

1. Maximum user weight increase:

The Coopers PVC Handle Crutches have been retested and as a result the maximum user weight has been increased to 159kg (previously 127kg).

No functional or dimensional specifications have changed on the product and performance is not affected in anyway.
This update is purely an improvement to the weight carrying capacity of the Elbow Crutches through product retesting.
The product codes affected by this change are 8303C, 8249C, 8251C, 8253C & 9731C.

2. Product identification

In line with the introduction of this increased user weight, all product labels have been updated with the new maximum user weight along with the user guide issued with each pair of crutches.

Products capable of carrying the new maximum user weight of 159kg can be identified by the product label located under the crutch handle and on the outer packaging of the crutches.
