Transportability

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:

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).

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, brakes or footrests.

Fig.A

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

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.

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. If the user may be compromised during transportation; by the

removal of some options intended for their comfort and support, for

both head and body, then a risk assessment maybe required .e.g.

Elevating leg rests, specialists seating systems or other prescribed

adaptations.

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.

12. 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.

13. Wherever possible remove and stow safely away from the

wheelchair all auxiliary equipment, for example:

Crutches, Loose cushions and Tray Tables.

14. 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.

15. Reclining backrests should be returned to an upright position.

16. The manual brakes must be firmly applied.

17. 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.
