2.0 Transportability

DANGER!

There is a risk of serious injury or death 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. We

recommend 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 should

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 wheelchair 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 Part 2 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 tie down 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. A head restraint suitable for transportation (see label on

headrest) must be fitted and suitably positioned at all times

during transportation.

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 legrest 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.
