Spex Quad Mount is the standard wheelchair back support hardware for the Spex range. Four attachment points on the back canes give better lateral stability than a two point mount, with 40 mm of depth adjustment (140 mm with the extension kit) and 10 degrees of back angle adjustment (20 degrees with upper extensions). The aluminium hardware weighs 0.9 kg and fits round back canes from 19 to 26 mm.
Safe working load depends on the back support fitted: 90 kg with 10 to 15 inch backs and 136 kg with 16 to 20 inch backs.
