Quantum 4Front 2 HD

The Quantum 4Front 2 HD is a front-wheel heavy-duty Category 3 power wheelchair from Quantum Rehab. Westin Healthcare configures it to an ADP-registered therapist's prescription and delivers it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.

This is a prescription rehab base, not a stock cart chair. Quantum Rehab's current spec sheet rates the 4Front 2 HD at 450 lbs (400 lbs with the 10 inch lift), up to 5 mph (up to 2.7 mph with the 10 inch lift), a 24.5 inch turning radius, and a 24.3 inch base. Smart Traction Control and Smooth Ride Suspension are the current ride package. An ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist assessment comes first. For eligible clients, ADP can fund 75% of the approved price.

Who this chair is for

This chair is for a person who needs a front-wheel power base, seating that can change as needs change, and who is within Quantum's 450 lb rating (400 lbs with the 10 inch lift). Families usually call us when outdoor traction and a heavy-duty front-wheel base matter more than a tight mid-wheel turn, and when the standard 4Front 2 300 lb rating is not enough.

If 300 lbs and a 24 inch front-wheel base are enough, start with the Quantum 4Front 2. If you want a 450 lb mid-wheel, see the Quantum Q6 Edge HD. If you need 600 lbs, see the Quantum 1450. This is not a folding travel chair.

• ADP Category 3 / Adult Power Base Type 3 (device code WP0001900)
• Front-wheel drive HD, 24.3 inch base, 24.5 inch turning radius

Design and build

Quantum builds the 4Front 2 HD as a front-wheel base with 4-pole motors, more robust caster arms than the previous generation, 14 inch flat-free drive wheels (knobby or pneumatic optional), 9 inch rear casters, and 4 inch anti-tip wheels. Smart Traction Control is how Quantum describes steer correction on uneven ground. Smooth Ride Suspension is the ride package. LED front and rear fender lights are on the current feature list. Q-Logic 3e is standard. Q-Logic 3 is optional. Specialty controls can be ordered. The chair does not fold.

TRU-Balance 3 HD seating is the manufacturer family on the current spec page. Official HD widths run 20 to 24 inches. Optional 10 inch safe seat elevation is listed at up to 2.7 mph and drops capacity to 400 lbs. A Quantum backup camera is listed as optional.

Configuration

The therapist and Westin complete TRU-Balance 3 HD seating, electronics, and power functions on the Quantum order form after assessment. Official HD seating on the current spec page starts at 20 inches wide. If a size you need is not a starting option, ask us. We will write it on the form.

Do not treat a colour or size choice as a finished chair. A Category 3 power wheelchair is configured after assessment.

ADP funding for a Category 3 wheelchair in Ontario

This chair is an ADP-eligible category device. Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) pays 75% of the approved price for eligible clients, and clients receiving Ontario Works, ODSP, or ACSD support can be covered for the full cost. The route starts with an assessment by an ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist, who confirms the need and the right category before anything is ordered: a chair bought before approval is not reimbursed. Westin Healthcare works with ADP authorizers and submissions every week, configures the chair to the prescription, and walks you through the paperwork. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to start the conversation.

Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA

After the chair is approved and built to the prescription, Westin's own team delivers and sets it up across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. We bring it in, assemble it, and show you the joystick, charger, and seating functions before we leave.

We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a front-wheel power chair first. For a scheduled in-home setup, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works. Same-day delivery is offered through our rental service; purchased chairs are delivered and set up on a scheduled date.

This power wheelchair is oversized. The Canada-wide free ground-shipping offer on smaller goods does not apply. If the chair is going outside the GTA, ask us for a freight quote. Inside Toronto and the GTA, White-Glove Delivery (bring-in, unwrap, test, take packaging away) is described on the shipping policy. Any charge is confirmed on your order.

Service and warranty

When something on the chair needs work, you call the shop that set it up, not a distant parts desk. Westin Healthcare has a service and repairs department. Our technicians come to the home or workplace.

Quantum manufacturer warranty

Quantum's current Canada insert is lifetime limited on the main frame and fixed-position seat post, 2 years on electronics, motors, actuators, and accessories, 6 months on bearings and bushings, and 12 months on Quantum-supplied batteries. Wear items such as tyres, shrouds, and upholstery are outside that term. We handle the claim with you.

Frequently asked questions

What does Category 3 mean on this power wheelchair?

Ontario lists Quantum 4Front 2 HD as an Adult Power Base Type 3 device (WP0001900). Type 3 is for people who need ongoing changes in postural support and modifications to electronics. The 300 lb sibling is the 4Front 2 (WP0001441).

Is this the same chair as the 4Front 2?

No. The 4Front 2 is WP0001441 at 300 lbs. The 4Front 2 HD is WP0001900 at 450 lbs (400 lbs with the 10 inch lift). Both are front-wheel bases with STC and SRS. The HD uses TRU-Balance 3 HD seating widths from 20 inches.

Who qualifies for ADP funding?

In general you must be an Ontario resident with a valid health card and a disability that needs a mobility aid for 6 months or longer. An ADP-registered OT or PT has to assess you first. We cannot promise that a specific person will qualify.

How does the 75 / 25 split work?

For eligible clients, ADP pays 75% of the approved price and the person pays 25%. Ontario Works, ODSP, or ACSD can open 100% of that approved price. Batteries and items outside the ADP device are extra.

What is the assessment process?

An ADP-registered OT or PT examines the person, helps complete the application, and works with Westin on the configuration. Ontario aims to review complete applications within 8 weeks. Do not order before those steps.

Can I try a 4Front 2 HD first?

Call (905) 451-7743 and ask what is on the floor. A floor chair is a starting point. The funded chair is built to the prescription.

What is the weight capacity?

Quantum lists 450 lbs, reduced to 400 lbs with the 10 inch lift. Stay at or under the rating that matches the seating on the order.

What if the prescription includes power tilt or recline?

Ontario treats power dynamic tilt and/or recline as high technology. Those chairs are bought through the Central Equipment Pool. Your therapist will say if that path applies.

What happens if ADP declines?

Ontario sends a letter with the reason and how to follow up, including an appeal. Do not take delivery on the assumption that funding will arrive later.

What is the warranty?

Lifetime frame, 2 years electronics and motors, 12 months Quantum batteries, on the Canada insert. Westin Healthcare processes the claim.

Will it fold into a car trunk?

No. It is a full-size front-wheel rehab base, 24.3 inches wide and 39.7 inches long without riggings, with a 140 lb base before batteries on the spec sheet.
