wheelchair tie-downs

Wheelchair tie-downs are secure straps designed to safely immobilize a wheelchair and its occupant during transportation. They typically involve four straps—two in the front and two in the rear—that are anchored to the vehicle's floor or dedicated anchoring points. When using them, the straps are attached to specified tie-down points on both the wheelchair and the vehicle to prevent movement. This system ensures stability, reduces the risk of injury, and complies with safety standards during travel. Properly installed and used tie-downs are essential for consistent, safe transportation of wheelchair users.
