Types of Steering Aids

Unique Mobility offers a range of steering aids, each tailored to suit different driver preferences and needs:

  1. Steering Ball – Grasped from the front using a partially clenched hand.
  2. Steering Peg – Held from the side with a partially clenched hand.
  3. Tetra Grip – Controlled by placing the wrist between adjustable supports while gripping a peg.

All options include a quick-release mechanism, ideal for vehicles shared with drivers who don’t require a steering aid.

Fitting and Customisation

Steering aids can be positioned based on driver preference and the steering wheel's design. Key considerations include:

Independent Use: Typically fitted on the user's stronger side.

With Hand Controls: Positioned opposite the hand controls (commonly on the left for right-handed hand controls).

Placement: Most often fitted at the upper part of the wheel to reduce strain on the arm and shoulder during driving.

Quick-Release Functionality

The quick-release clamp allows for easy removal of the grip by pushing a pin at the back of the clamp, while leaving the base securely attached to the steering wheel. This ensures a seamless transition between drivers.
