Description

PAL Pads used in the Positive Active Lateral (PAL) system
The pads are available in choices of contoured or linear styles, and in three sizes. They are made of closed-cell foam with a steel insert that allows horizontal pad adjustment. The pad foam is protected with a removable, machine washable cover.
Shell Bracket of the PAL system
The steel Shell Bracket is contoured to mount on the inside of a Varilite Icon Mid or Tall Back shell. The low profile bracket is less than 3mm thick.
Pad Bracket of the PAL system
Constructed of steel for strength, the steel pad bracket attaches securely to the pad. Easy adjustment allows +/- 10 degree of vertical pad rotation. Pad brackets are available in short, long, and offset configurations.
Push Button Hinge of the PAL system
An easily activated push button unlocks the PAL swing away hinge mechanism. Positive locking action indicates when the hinge is securely locked. The hinge can be angle adjusted for up to 225 degrees of swing.
