T.G.R. : more than 30 years of research and works to make you regain your freedom of movement.

T.G.R. traces its history back to the 1978 when – after many years of research and accurate tests - the creativity and devotion of Sir Emilio Toselli – supported by the commercial capability of his wife Mrs. Maria Ferrari - gave birth to the first model of electric autocycle. It was called CT1, it could speed up to 32 km/h and had an autonomy of 85 km.
By that years the motorisation was booming, it was the era of easy accessible energy and only few people were interested in preventing air pollution produced by petrol vapours. Unfortunately the production of this electric autocycle was too much at the forefront and so - only few years after having come in the market - Sir Emilio Toselli decided to abandon the production of the CT1 and focus his interest on a new model of electric traction vehicle: the Industrial Trolley.
In 1982 his efforts led to the construction of the Industrial Trolley that was designed not to smoothly run on streets but to carry on stairs heavy objects such as brown and white goods, security doors and furniture.  The first series of Industrial Trolleys formed the basis for the design of a machine dedicated to the transport of disable persons on stairs.
 Actually in the 1983, having adopted all necessary shrewds, the goal was reached and the Scoiattolo came in the market as the result of a deep and clever analysis of the daily problems experienced by disabled people. In the whole world, the Scoiattolo represents  the first mobile stairclimber with wheels which allowed disabled persons to be transported on stairs, thus making it the only chance for disabled to regain part of their freedom of movement. The Scoiattolo could free most of all that people who lived in houses not provided with lifts. The gratitude of all that customers who felt the need to express their satisfaction bears testimony of the big success met by the Scoiattolo. The designer could actually restore part of the freedom of movement of disabled.
Motivated by this first big success, the designer Sir Emilio Toselli, decides to achieve a higher goal: make disable people completely autonomous. Finally in the 1991, as a result of his efforts, his firmness of purpose and a lot of research, works and design  he could succeed in giving birth to the Explorer: the very sole world patented machine that could free disable people for ever. The fruitful  result of a work of technology and innovative solutions.  Actually the Explorer is a revolutionary electronic wheelchair with joystick that – thanks to the possibility to alternate between wheel and track-function - allows people to freely overcome architectural barriers. In this way architectural barriers does not exist any more because the disable person can autonomously drive and overcome both streets and stairways.
At this point of his life Sir Emilio Toselli, decided to begin a new study, whose result would be a mobile device destined to become the top selling products of T.G.R.’s range. In the 1994 he gave birth to the Jolly, the mobile stairclimber with tracks that has been designed to transport on stairs the very most wheelchairs present on the European market. Small, safe, mobile, easy to operate and compact, Jolly requires only the presence of an attendant whose function is to load the wheelchair and take it on stairs by means of the proper buttons.
Satisfied with the work done for the overcoming of architectural barriers, he decided to focus on indoor mobility problems. His new goal is to give disable persons the most possible wide freedom of movement in indoor spaces, too.
He carried out a brand new type of research and in the 1995 a new machine, came in the market. Actually Suprema is an electric wheelchair for indoor use  that – thanks to the compact dimensions - permits the most possible freedom of movement in all indoor spaces. Moreover, the level of autonomy has been widened by means of the unique chance to adjust the seat’s height, thus giving the chance to reach and use objects and services that, differently, would have remained inaccessible.
