Wheelchair Tie Downs for Used Handicap Vans

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), any government or private organization offering public transportation must make provisions for wheelchair-bound people to be safely transported. That said, there are a number of methods for wheelchair securement, used by industry professionals around the world. The following are two of the most common types:

4-Point Tie Downs –

• consists of four straps that attach to the wheelchair and the vehicle/van floor
• requires outside assistance to safely tie-down correctly

Electric Wheelchair Restraints –

• contains an anchored device that is mounted on the floor of the vehicle
