The foundation for any great primate restraint chair is the base that it sits on. The two most prominent foundations are the Tall Base or Low Trolley. Both can be easily configured to work with the Chair positioning systems.
Tall Base:
The Tall Base Height in its standard configuration sets the eye height to 47.5 inches (121 cm) from the floor. This height can be easily adjusted to meet any demand. Typically the primate restraint chair will be centered on the chair base except with the use of the guillotine door configuration. In These situations the restraint chair is shifted to the rear of the base so the back side of the chair can be flush with the cage.
Low Trolley
The low Trolley is ideally suited when the primate restraint needs to be closer to the floor. It is also ideally suited for use with the Crist Instrument Large animal Isolation chambers. Trolleys can be configured with 2β, or 5β casters.
