Quick Overview

The Axcel is the flagship front wheel drive chair from Avid, the complex rehab division of Merits Health Products. It is coded K0856 and K0861 as a Group 3 power base, which puts it in the class of chairs built for full time users who need real positioning technology rather than a basic captain seat. Standard power tilt runs 0 to 50 degrees and power recline runs 85 to 160 degrees with 6 inches of shear reduction, so pressure relief and posture changes happen at the joystick without a transfer.

What separates the Axcel from most Group 3 bases at this level is the ride. Front wheel drive puts the 14 by 3 inch drive tires first over thresholds, ramps and grass, and the frame carries full hydraulic shock absorbers at both ends with large 9 inch casters trailing behind. Merits pairs that with front and rear LED lighting as standard equipment, a detail many rehab bases still treat as an upgrade.

Seating is handled by the Frequency system, which adjusts from 14 to 22 inches in both width and depth on the same hardware. A clinician can size the chair to the user today and open it up later as needs change, and the rails accept Merits Precision Comfort cushions as well as third party backs, laterals and headrests. R-Net 120A electronics run the chair, the same platform used across the CRT industry for expandable and alternative drive controls.

Two MK M34 60Ah gel batteries deliver up to 19 miles of range at speeds up to 6.3 mph, and a tool free rear door exposes both batteries for service without lifting the seat or transferring the user. The shroud comes in Noir Black, Dove Gray, Ruby Red, Sapphire Blue or Camo Green.

How to Purchase & What's Included

How do I get a price for the Axcel P335?

We sell the Axcel P335 on a quote basis so we can pair you with the right configuration and the best available price. Call us toll free at 1-888-233-5563 or use our contact form and we will have a quote back to you the same business day in most cases.

Does Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance help pay for the Axcel P335?

Most products in this range do not meet the strict medical device rules that Medicare and Medicaid use, so they rarely qualify for coverage. We do not work with Medicare and we do not bill private insurance directly.

Some private plans will reimburse you outside of the Medicare framework. The best way to find out is to call your insurer and ask. If they say yes, we are happy to provide an invoice and proof of purchase so you can file for reimbursement.

Notice to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Medicare pays for equipment only when the supplier has a Medicare supplier number. Heavy Duty Mobility does not have one, so Medicare will not pay for anything we sell you. You are personally and fully responsible for payment.

Shipping, Warranty & Returns

Shipping

How long until my Axcel P335 arrives?

Orders typically leave the warehouse within one to three business days. Once on the way, expect a transit time of around three to seven business days depending on your distance from the warehouse.

The stock status sits just under the product title near the top of this page. If it shows a lead time, the ship out window is that lead time plus the normal transit time above.

Will I get tracking?

Yes. As soon as your order ships we email you a tracking link so you can follow it all the way to your door.

Warranty

What warranty comes with the Axcel P335?

Merits backs the Axcel P335 with a manufacturer limited warranty. The exact coverage terms for this model are listed in the Specifications tab and the product documentation. Normal wear items and damage from misuse or accidents are excluded, as with all manufacturer warranties.

If something goes wrong, reach out to us first. We can often sort out a fix over the phone or ship a replacement part. Contact us and we will help.

Returns

Can I return the Axcel P335?

Yes, returns are possible. Please read the full returns policy for the details.

Documentation, Manuals & Safety

Official Merits documents for the Axcel

Key safety notes. Rated capacity is 300 lb and the maximum rated climbing angle is 7.5 degrees, so steep ramps should be evaluated before daily use. The rear battery door is marked for unoccupied transfer only during battery service by a second person. Keep tilt and recline in a driving position when moving at speed and use the standard LED lighting after dark.

Daily Operation & Transportation

Daily driving happens through the R-Net joystick, which controls speed profiles, lighting and every power seat function from one hand position. Charging uses a 6A off board charger that plugs into the controller, and the two MK M34 60Ah gel batteries are maintenance free. When batteries eventually need replacement the tool free rear door gives a technician direct access in seconds without disturbing the seating.

The Axcel is a full size rehab base, not a folding travel chair. It weighs 372 pounds with batteries and measures 40 inches long by 24.5 inches wide, so plan on an accessible van, a ramp equipped vehicle or a heavy duty platform lift for transport. Users who ride in vehicle should confirm their seating package with their transport provider. At home the 28 inch turning radius and front wheel drive geometry let the chair square up to sinks and counters closer than most rear drive bases, and the 2.4 inch ground clearance clears thresholds and door strips.

Common Questions

Is the Axcel a Group 3 power wheelchair

Yes. The Axcel carries HCPCS codes K0856 and K0861, which place it in Group 3 single power and multi power option categories used for complex rehab chairs.

How much tilt and recline does the Axcel have

Power tilt is standard and moves from 0 to 50 degrees. Power recline moves from 85 to 160 degrees and includes 6 inches of shear reduction so the backrest slides with your body as it opens.

Can the seat rise for transfers and reach

An optional power elevator lifts the entire seat 12 inches. Many users add it for counter height reach, eye level conversation and easier stand pivot transfers.

What seat sizes does the Axcel support

The Frequency seating system adjusts from 14 to 22 inches in both width and depth on the same hardware, with backrest heights from 22 to 24.8 inches, so the chair can be resized as needs change.

How far and how fast does it go

Two MK M34 60Ah gel batteries provide up to 19 miles of range on a full charge and a top speed of 6.3 mph through R-Net 120A electronics.

Does it handle outdoor ground well

Front wheel drive puts the 14 inch drive tires over obstacles first, and full front and rear hydraulic shock absorbers with 9 inch casters keep the ride stable on grass, gravel and sidewalk joints. Front and rear LED lights are standard.

Can it use alternative drive controls instead of a joystick

Yes. The R-Net electronics platform is expandable, so head arrays, sip and puff and other specialty inputs can be specified for users who cannot use a standard joystick.

Is the Axcel returnable after purchase

Like most complex rehab chairs it is built to your configuration, so it is generally not returnable. Confirm your seat size and options with us before ordering and we will verify the build together.

Why buy the Axcel P335 from us?

  • We quote the Axcel configured the way you actually need it, from seat size to the 12 inch elevator, instead of a one size listing
  • Real humans in the US walk you through Group 3 positioning choices before any money changes hands
  • We coordinate freight and delivery on heavy rehab bases like this 372 pound chair so it arrives set up correctly
  • Authorized Merits product support means factory parts, manuals and warranty help from one place
  • Price match attention on any legitimate quote you bring us for the same build

Is Merits a Good Brand?

Merits Health Products has been building mobility equipment since 1985, starting in Taichung, Taiwan and operating in the United States since 1989 from its Fort Myers, Florida headquarters. The company is one of the few mobility brands that manufactures in its own factories rather than outsourcing, which shows in details like the hydraulic suspension and tool free battery service on this chair. Avid is the Merits division dedicated to complex rehab technology, and the P335 Axcel itself earned a Taiwan Excellence award for its design. For buyers that means an established manufacturer with US parts, US support and a rehab line taken seriously by clinicians.
