Welcome to Meyland Smith – Pioneers in Mobility and Independence

For over a century, Meyland Smith has been at the forefront of innovation, dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals with mobility challenges. Established in 1901, our journey began with the production of bicycles, but soon evolved as we recognized the need for specialized mobility aids tailored to those with physical disabilities. Today, Mayland Smith is synonymous with quality, reliability, and innovation in the world of mobility aids, particularly through our renowned walking aids and person lifts.

A Legacy of Innovation and Care

Meyland Smith was founded during a time when the bicycle was a revolutionary mode of transportation. As our company grew, we noticed that there was a significant portion of the population who were unable to enjoy the freedom that bicycles offered due to physical limitations. Driven by a commitment to inclusivity and mobility, we began designing and producing assistive devices that could empower those with disabilities to lead more active and independent lives.

Our innovation truly took shape in the late 1920s when we began adapting bicycles and motorized vehicles for individuals with disabilities. One of our most iconic early products was the wheelchair, famously depicted in the Danish television series “Matador.” This product symbolized our commitment to improving mobility for all, regardless of physical limitations.

Over the years, Meyland Smith has continued to expand its product line, focusing on the development of walking aids and person lifts. These products have become essential tools for those with mobility impairments, helping them navigate their daily lives with greater ease and confidence.

The Power of Mobility: Our Walking Aids

At the heart of Meyland Smith’s product range are our innovative walking aids, particularly the VELA Meywalk and VELA Buddy Roamer. These walking aids are designed to provide support and stability to users with varying degrees of mobility impairment, from children to adults. They are much more than just tools for getting around; they are instruments of independence that allow users to engage more fully with their surroundings.

The VELA Meywalk, originally invented by the former owner of Meyland Smith for his daughter with cerebral palsy, has been a cornerstone of our product offerings. This walking aid is designed to support users in standing up and moving around while meeting their surroundings at eye level. The adjustable design and supportive frame cater to individual needs, promoting natural movement patterns and stimulating muscle activity.

Our walking aids are also designed with the user’s well-being in mind. Features like a spring-loaded frame enhance the natural walking pattern, which is crucial for stimulating muscles and improving overall physical health. This is especially important for users who may have reduced mobility or are at risk of developing secondary health issues due to a sedentary lifestyle.

The VELA Buddy Roamer offers similar benefits with a focus on younger users. It’s an adjustable walking aid designed to grow with the child, providing a comfortable and supportive way to explore the world while developing crucial motor skills. Both of these products highlight our commitment to creating solutions that promote not just mobility, but also engagement and activity in everyday life.

Lifting Barriers with Our Person Lifts

In addition to our walking aids, Mayland Smith is proud to offer innovative person lifts, designed to enhance mobility and accessibility in multiple settings. The VELA Person Lift is a versatile tool that makes it easier for wheelchair users to transition between their wheelchair and a vehicle seat, whether as a passenger or a driver. This lift is a game-changer for those who want to maintain their independence and freedom to travel.

The VELA Person Lift is designed for ease of use, with a simple interface that can be operated with just two buttons. It’s compatible with most vehicles, including SUVs, without requiring any modifications to the car. This feature is especially important for users who may need to move between multiple vehicles or who want to maintain the flexibility of using different types of transportation.

What sets the VELA Person Lift apart is its adaptability. Not only can it be used in vehicles, but it also doubles as a lifting device within the home when paired with a wall mount. This dual functionality makes it a valuable tool for users who need assistance in both home and travel settings. The lift is easy to disassemble and store, making it convenient for everyday use without taking up unnecessary space.

Meyland Smith’s person lifts are designed with safety and durability in mind. The lifts are built with robust materials and equipped with safety features like automatic overload protection and emergency stop functions, ensuring that users can rely on them for consistent performance. This focus on quality and safety is central to our mission of improving mobility and independence for all.
