DANGER !

There is a risk of serious injury or death if this if this

advice is ignored!

Transportation Of Your Wheelchair Within A Vehicle.

A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the

equivalent level of safety and security as a vehicle seating

system. It is always recommended that the user transfers

to the vehicle seating. It is recognised that this is not

always practical for the user to be transferred and in these

circumstances, where the user must be transported whilst

in the wheelchair, the following advice must be followed:

DANGER !

• Confirm that your chair is crashtest suitable (see

nameplate or crashtest bracket at the rear of the chair

(Fig.I)

• Confirm that the vehicle is suitably equipped to

transport a passenger in a wheelchair, and ensure the

method of access/egress is suitable for your

wheelchair type. The vehicle should have the floor

strength to take the combined weight of the user, the

wheel chair and accessories.

• Sufficient space should be available around the

wheelchair to enable clear access to attach, tighten

and release the wheelchair and occupant tie down

restraints and safety belts.

• The occupied wheelchair must be located in a forward

facing position and secured by the wheelchair tie

down and occupant restraint straps (WTORS tie

downs meeting the requirements of ISO 10542 or

SAE J2249) in accordance with the WTORS

manufacturer’s instructions.

• The wheelchair’s use in other positions within a

vehicle has not been tested e.g. transportation in a

side facing position must not be carried out under any

circumstances (Fig. A).

• The wheelchair should be secured by a Tie Down

Restraint system, conforming to ISO 10542 or SAE

J2249 with non-adjustable front straps and adjustable

rear straps, which typically use Karabiner clips/S

hooks and tongue and buckle fittings. These restraints

generally comprise of 4 individual straps that are

attached to each corner of the wheelchair.

9.0 Transportability

Fig.A

• The tie-down restraints should be fitted to the main

frame of the wheelchair as indicated in the diagram on

the following page, and not to any attachments or

accessories, e.g. not around the spokes of wheels,

brakes or footrests.

• The tie–down restraints should be attached as close as

possible at an angle of 45 degrees and tightened

securely in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.

• Alterations or substitutions must not be made to the

wheelchair securement points or to structural and frame

or components without consulting the manufacturer.

Failure to do so will invalidate the ability of a Sunrise

Medical wheelchair to be transported within a vehicle.

• Both pelvic and upper torso restraint belts must be used

to restrain the occupant to reduce the possibility of head

and chest impacts with the vehicle components and

serious risk of injury to the user and other vehicle

occupants. (Fig B) The upper torso restraint belt should

be mounted to the vehicle “B” pillar - failure to do so will

increase the risk of serious abdominal injuries to the

user.

• A head restraint suitable for transportation (see label on

headrest) must be fitted and suitably positioned at all

times during transportation.

• Postural supports (lap straps, lap belts) should not be

used or relied on for occupant restraint in a moving

vehicle unless they are labelled as meeting the

requirements specified in ISO 7176-19:2001 or SAE

J2249.

• The safety of the user during transportation depends

upon the diligence of the person securing the tie-down

restraints and they should have received appropriate

instructions and/or training in their use.

• Wherever possible remove and stow safely away from

the wheelchair all auxiliary equipment, for example:

• Crutches, Loose cushions and Tray Tables.

• Articulating/elevating leg rest should not be used in the

elevated position when the wheelchair and user are

being transported and the wheelchair is restrained using

Wheelchair Transport and Occupant Restraints.

• Reclining backrests should be returned to an upright

position.

• The manual brakes must be firmly applied.

• Restraints should be mounted to the vehicle “B” pillar

and should not be held away from the body by

wheelchair components such as armrest or wheels.
