Help your loved ones stay independent, safely, at home
Stay mobile, feel secure, and save energy while doing everyday tasks. The VELA Tango range combines a stable braking system, smooth-rolling wheels, supportive armrests and backrest, and an electric lift that helps with reaching and standing, so daily life at home is easier and safer.
Who this chair is for
If your parent, partner or client wants to live independently at home but finds standing, reaching or moving around difficult, VELA Tango can help. It’s ideal for people who need extra stability and confidence to manage cooking, personal care and other everyday activities, without using up all their energy.
Why families and carers choose VELA Tango
- Safe stability when it matters
- Engage the handbrake to create a rock-steady seat for tasks, transfers or moments when balance is a concern
- Easy indoor mobility
- Smooth-running wheels let the user move around the kitchen, bedroom or hallway while seated, reducing fall risk and conserving effort.
- Supportive, adjustable comfort
- The chair’s ergonomic adjustments allow a comfortable, supportive posture tailored to the individual—designed to last for years of daily use.
- Electric lift that saves energy (Optional)
- With the powered seat lift, reaching a wall cupboard, placing plates in the dishwasher or brushing teeth becomes easier. It also provides assistance to stand at the touch of a button.
- Confidence for everyday life
- By making cooking, personal care and other daily tasks more manageable, users often become less dependent on help from others, supporting dignity and quality of life.
Everyday tasks made easier at home
- Kitchen: prepare food, reach shelves, load/unload the dishwasher with lift support.

- Around the house: move between rooms seated, with the option to brake for stability.
