2.0 Transportability

DANGER!

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

advice is ignored!

Always make sure that your wheelchair is suited to

transport the user within a vehicle. The symbols on the

product label will help you to identify whether your

wheelchair is crash-tested and therefore suited to

transport the user within a vehicle:

Crash Tested

Not Crash Tested

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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).

Fig.A

5. 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.

6. 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, wheel

locks or footrests.

7. 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.

8. Alterations or substitutions must not be made to the

wheelchair securing 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.

9. 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.

10. Where there is a need for a head restraint when the

user is being transported, in their wheelchair, as a seat in

a vehicle, then a head restraint suitable for transportation

must be fitted, and suitably positioned during the

transportation of the wheelchair user.

11. 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.
