Product Information – Manually Operated

Our products have been developed from the ground up specifically for this type of use. Ease of operation, durability, and minimal maintenance requirements were central during development and form the core of our design philosophy.

On our website, you will find the key technical specifications for each product on the respective product pages. These specifications are also included in the brochures for all our models, with additional explanations if preferred.

Do you have specific questions? Please feel free to contact us without obligation — we are happy to assist you.

The main difference lies in passenger transport capacity and storage efficiency.

  • The Mobby 1.1 is better suited for multi-seat configurations where transporting multiple passengers is the primary focus.
  • The Mobby 2 can be nested more deeply than the Mobby 1.1, allowing it to take up less space when storing multiple chairs. This makes transporting and storing larger quantities easier.

Both models are suitable for electric propulsion: the Mobby 1.1 can be combined with the e-Mobby, while the Mobby 2 is designed for use with the Mobby-Mover.

The XL models have been structurally adapted for heavier-duty applications and are certified accordingly. As a standard, our products comply with the relevant European directives. We are happy to review with you whether additional certifications are available for your specific region or application.

Yes, our manual models can be connected to an e-Mobby or Mobby-Mover in two ways:

  • As standard, this is done via a manual coupling, where the operator slightly lifts the chair and places it onto the coupling.

  • In addition, we offer the optional Link&Go solution, an electric lifting system that automatically establishes the connection without requiring the passenger to leave the chair. This improves ease of use, reduces physical strain for staff, and provides a seamless experience for the PRM.

Our products are designed for comfortable and safe transportation of persons with reduced mobility over short distances. Sitting during transition periods or transfer moments is certainly possible, such as during short waiting times or transfers.

However, the chairs are not intended as long-term seating solutions, such as prolonged stationary waiting. For such situations, we recommend additional facilities.

We are happy to advise you on optimal deployment within your location or service schedule.

Yes, during the development of our XL and bariatric models, particular attention was given to enhanced comfort and accessibility. The seat surface, backrest, and spacing between the armrests are significantly wider than on the standard models. This allows bariatric passengers or PRMs to sit comfortably and safely, even during slightly longer transfers or waiting times.

Our XL models thus provide an appropriate and respectful solution for broader body types, without compromising stability or ease of use.

Yes, we can provide you with a clear overview or tailored advice per application area. This includes solutions for individual transport, group transport, independent use, or bariatric support. In addition, products on our website are categorized and feature a descriptive function title below the product name on the product pages.

Our specialists are happy to help you make the right choice based on your target group, location, and budget.

The Mobby SP is designed for both independent and assisted use. Thanks to the large rear wheels with push rims, PRMs can propel themselves if desired. At the same time, the model is equipped with push handles and an operator brake, allowing the chair to be safely pushed and full control to be taken when necessary. This flexibility makes the Mobby SP particularly suitable for environments where both independent mobility and assistance are required.

Yes, the Aisle Mobby is specifically designed for use on board commercial aircraft and complies with common international standards for safety, dimensions, and functionality. Thanks to its narrow design (only 38 cm wide), it easily fits through aircraft aisles. The Aisle Mobby is equipped with features such as a safety belt, anti-tip wheels, and a fixed footplate, ensuring safe and comfortable onboard transfers.

⚠️ Note: Exact approval may vary by airline or region. We advise coordinating this with the relevant airline or authority prior to deployment. For product specifications or documentation, you are always welcome to contact us.

The Mobby 1.1 Extended is not intended to independently transport three people. This model is offered exclusively in combination with an e-Mobby and serves as an intermediate module within a linked configuration of three Mobby units.

The extended variant creates additional legroom for the passenger in the middle seat when two standard Mobby units are connected to an e-Mobby, forming a configuration with three seats (see page Multi-Seated Configurations). This solution is ideal for group transport, allowing multiple PRMs to be moved efficiently and comfortably at the same time.

We offer a wide range of accessories that enhance the comfort, functionality and usability of our products. These include luggage racks, belt systems, leg rests, personalised nameplates and various parking solutions.

The available options may vary per model. A complete overview of compatible accessories can be found on the product pages and in our product brochures. You may also contact us for tailored advice based on the intended application and user environment.

Yes, in consultation, existing models can be adapted or further developed to meet specific functional or operational requirements.

Please note that such adaptations may result in longer delivery times and additional costs.

We are happy to discuss this with you to jointly assess whether a customised solution is feasible and suitable for your project.

Product Information – Electrically Powered

Our electrically powered devices comply with the applicable European Machinery Directive and corresponding CE requirements. Conformity documentation can be provided upon request. Please contact one of our specialists for further information or tailored documentation.

This depends on several factors and may vary per product. Guideline values have been established in a controlled test environment without significant external influences. In practice, however, factors such as temperature, gradients, usage intensity, and load can significantly affect performance. Specific battery data can be found in the brochures of the respective products.

Yes, the batteries of the e-Mobby are designed for easy maintenance and replacement. The battery compartment provides direct access, allowing connectors to be easily disconnected and reconnected to a new battery pack. The battery can then be reinstalled without the need for specialist tools. This makes replacement quick and efficient, ideal for environments where minimal downtime is required.

The main difference lies in functionality and intended application:

  • The Mobby-Mover is a multifunctional electric drive unit designed for broad deployment in airports, hospitals, and other facilities. It can be equipped with various coupling attachments, such as a bed arm for moving hospital beds, and is suitable for transporting logistics carts or collecting dispersed Mobby chairs within a terminal. In addition, the Mobby-Mover can also be used for passenger transport in combination with a Mobby chair.
  • 
The e-Mobby has been specifically developed for passenger transport and is intended to efficiently transport one to three PRMs (in combination with linked chairs), including luggage, within a controlled environment.


Both systems support linked mobility solutions but differ in their primary purpose and technical expandability.

No, the Multimobby units are specifically developed for indoor use, for example within airports, terminals, and healthcare facilities. They are not designed to withstand weather conditions such as rain or temperature fluctuations and are not equipped for safe participation in regular traffic or outdoor public-road use. For safe, efficient, and comfortable transfers inside buildings, the Multimobby units are ideally suited. For outdoor use, we recommend alternative solutions.

The suitability of the (e-)Aisle Mobby for use on stairlifts or platforms strongly depends on the type of installation and local safety regulations. Due to the wide variation in platform dimensions, load capacities, and safety systems, we deliberately leave this assessment to the health & safety officers of the respective organization.

We recommend always verifying in advance whether the use of an electric aid such as the e-Aisle Mobby is permitted within your specific installation. Upon request, we can provide technical specifications to support this assessment.

Yes, the speed of our electric vehicles can be adjusted in two ways:

  • One option allows the user to manually control speed via the rotary knob on the joystick, enabling easy increase or decrease of driving speed during operation.

  • Additionally, a fixed maximum speed can be set at software level. This absolute speed limit ensures that vehicles operate within predefined limits, for example to comply with internal safety regulations or location-specific speed restrictions.

We are happy to assist you in configuring these parameters according to your situation.

Link&Go is our patented electric coupling mechanism that automatically connects manual Mobby chairs to an electric vehicle. This allows chairs to be coupled, moved, and decoupled without physical effort and without requiring the passenger to stand up. This increases safety, speed, and efficiency within PRM processes.

No, our electric devices are equipped with an onboard charging system and therefore do not require external charging stations or docking systems. They can be charged easily via a standard wall outlet at any desired location within your building or premises. The integrated chargers can be fully adapted to regional plug types and mains voltage, enabling worldwide use without additional modifications. This makes charging flexible, user-friendly, and independent of fixed charging infrastructure.

  • relevant experience in PRM services, mobility, or healthcare;
  • knowledge of local legislation and operational processes;
  • an active network within airports, healthcare institutions, or the leisure sector;
  • a commercially driven yet service-oriented approach;
  • the ability to provide local technical support, maintenance, and aftersales;
  • basic knowledge of import procedures, customs formalities, and logistics handling.

After reviewing your profile, we will be happy to schedule an introductory meeting to discuss the possibilities together.

We maintain close and regular communication with our partners through dedicated contact persons, newsletters, documentation updates, and progress meetings. New products, service protocols, and innovations are shared in a timely manner to support partners in both their commercial and technical roles.

Yes, where possible we support local demonstrations, reference visits, trial placements, or trade shows. Depending on the region and availability, we coordinate together how we, as the manufacturer, can contribute to a successful presentation of our products in your market.

Yes, clear agreements are made regarding territories to protect interests and avoid overlap. This is done in mutual consultation and aligned with market potential, commitment, and level of engagement.

Yes, we are happy to involve strategic partners in the introduction of new products or innovations. Suitable partners may participate in pilots or beta phases by mutual agreement, for example for autonomous mobility or new lifting solutions.

Please contact us if you are interested in contributing or testing at an early stage.

Yes, we are open to joint campaigns or promotions by mutual agreement. This may include local events, product launches, or target-group-specific campaigns. Where possible, we provide content, visuals, and technical input to support your commercial efforts.

Absolutely. We highly value feedback from real-world use. Many of our innovations have been developed based on input from partners and users. As a partner, you can actively contribute to improvement processes or even be involved in co-creation and testing phases.

Sustainability & Environmental Impact

Yes, upon request we can provide information on material usage per product and its main components (such as steel, aluminium, plastics, and electronics).

Although we do not currently conduct a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for each product, we are working on the structured collection of data regarding raw material consumption, packaging materials, and transport flows. For tenders or ESG reporting, we can provide relevant input where possible.

Our products are designed with a long service life and maintainability as core principles. Many of the materials used — such as aluminium, steel, and certain plastics — are suitable for recycling at the end of the product’s life cycle.

While the products are not certified as fully circular systems, we use modular components that can easily be replaced or reused. This significantly extends the lifespan of the products and prevents unnecessary replacement of complete systems.

We manufacture locally in the Netherlands or within Europe, with short supply chains, small-scale production, and minimal waste. Our suppliers are selected based on quality, reliability, and transparency in their production processes. Our approach includes:

  • minimal packaging and reusable protective materials during transport;
  • energy-efficient production and assembly;
  • responsible disposal of cutting waste and surplus components.

We continue to invest in improvement and transparency throughout our supply chain.

Yes. We offer customers the option to return end-of-life batteries and electrical components via our aftersales department for responsible recycling in accordance with European regulations. Complete products can also be returned at the end of their service life — by request and in consultation — for dismantling or processing. We are happy to coordinate a suitable logistical and practical solution with you.

For larger fleet replacements, we provide support with replacement or trade-in processes, including the take-back of older models.

Yes. In many cases, used products can be refurbished, technically inspected, and redeployed, depending on the condition of the frame and components. We support customers who choose sustainable life extension options, such as:

  • Replacement of upholstery, tyres, or batteries;
  • Aesthetic refurbishment (e.g. new coating or branding);
  • Full technical overhaul in our workshop.

Please ask about the available options.

Not by default, but this is possible upon request. For larger replacement projects or fleet phase-outs, we are happy to offer a suitable take-back or disposal solution. Please contact us in good time so we can align logistics and processing with you.

Sustainability is a structural part of our business operations. Measures we take include:

  • Local assembly and short supply chains;
  • Products with a long service life and low maintenance requirements;
  • Reuse of transport materials;
  • Digital workflows where possible (instead of paper documentation);
  • Active participation in sustainable mobility projects with airports and healthcare institutions.

We continue to invest in sustainable innovation, including lighter materials, modular designs, and future-oriented drive technologies.

Suppliers & Procurement

We work with a combination of core, established suppliers and new partners who provide specific added value. For components, semi-finished products, and technical services, we are always open to collaboration with parties that meet our quality standards, reliability requirements, and sustainability vision.

Yes, we operate globally — both within and outside Europe — provided that the supplier meets our quality standards, delivery reliability, and export regulations. Recognised dealers are listed on our Dealer Page. For international suppliers, knowledge of customs procedures, product labeling, and proper documentation for import and transport is also expected.

Absolutely. We prefer to build sustainable relationships that allow for long-term planning, joint improvement, innovation, and scalability. Suppliers who grow with our business and customer base are actively involved in new projects, product lines, and market developments.

Upon receipt, deliveries are inspected for compliance with the order, visible damage, quantities, and — where applicable — technical tolerances. For regular deliveries, periodic spot checks or audits may be conducted. Quality control is an integral part of our collaboration.

Yes, we welcome collaboration with specialized partners who can contribute during the development phase. This includes support with material selection, series production, functional testing, or optimizing production costs. Collaboration is project-based and closely coordinated with our R&D department.

Depending on the product or service, we can operate based on individual orders, periodic call-off contracts, or framework agreements with defined duration and volumes. The appropriate structure is agreed upon in consultation, taking into account seasonal patterns, production logistics, and production lines.

Yes, we maintain a supplier guideline describing quality standards, communication expectations, and ethical principles. This can be provided on request to parties interested in working with us. We expect suppliers to comply with relevant laws and regulations, conduct business ethically, and respect human rights and labor conditions.

Suppliers are selected based on:

  • Product quality and technical reliability;
  • Delivery reliability and scalability;
  • Transparency in communication and processes;
  • Sustainability policy and social responsibility.

All submitted designs, drawings, or product ideas are treated strictly confidentially. In many cases, we sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to legally protect both parties. We expect the same respect from our suppliers regarding our IP and technical files.
