INTRODUCTION

The Lap Trays are fully molded and designed to fit most wheelchairs. They feature a continuous lip along three (3) sides to prevent items from sliding off and is designed without comers or crevices which helps prevent the collection of food and dirt.

The Lap Trays are available in two (2) styles - Clear and Black. The clear trays are composed of a Thermal Polyester composition that allows surface scratches to be removed with a heat gun or hair dryer. The Black trays are made of ABS Plastic. Both styles are extremely durable.

The trays are available with or without a torso cutout. The tray mounts firmly to the wheelchair by sliding onto

the arm rests. The tray will mount on flat padded (SR -

mounting hardware) or tubular (TR - mounting hard ware) arm rests.
