Q'Straint AMBULOK — Mechanical Docking System
SKU: Q10-018 | Docking Base: QS01240 | Wheel Anchor: QS01260
The AMBULOK mechanical docking system — the OMNI Floor-mounted assembly that anchors the cot securement bracket using a mechanical release hook bar. SAE J3027 crash-certified, tool-free installation, and compatible with both power and manual cots from Stryker and Ferno.
AMBULOK meets SAE J3027 across all three impact axes — frontal, side, and rear — using technology proven in Q'Straint's wheelchair securement platform. Certification protects patients, operators, and your business from liability in a collision.
The mechanical release hook bar (QS01262) provides a straightforward, no-power-required engagement and release mechanism — ideal for fleets that prioritize simplicity, ease of field maintenance, and independence from vehicle electrical systems.
No tools required for installation or removal. Transition the same OMNI Floor-equipped vehicle between cot and wheelchair transport configurations in minutes — maximizing daily fleet utilization without dedicated single-use vehicles.

Crash Standard
SAE J3027 defines the test procedures required to evaluate the structural integrity of ambulance-based patient cots, cot securement systems, and patient restraint systems when subjected to crash-level forces from any direction.
AMBULOK meets SAE J3027 in full. Crash certification documentation is available from Q'Straint. Contact us if your fleet or contracting authority requires certification records before purchase.
| Impact Direction | Test Speed | Peak Force |
|---|---|---|
| Frontal | 30 mph | 22.5 G |
| Side | 15 mph | 26 G |
| Rear | 10 mph | 11 G |
Cot Compatibility
The AMBULOK mechanical docking system supports both power and manual cot configurations. The cot type determines which stretcher bracket kit you need — the docking system itself is compatible with both. Confirmed compatible models below.

Complete System Context
AMBULOK is a three-component system. This listing covers Component 01 — the mechanical docking system. A complete vehicle installation also requires the appropriate cot securement bracket for your cot type.
Installation & Operation
Q'Straint provides vehicle-specific installation and operation videos for both side-entry vans and minivans. Review these before installation to confirm the workflow matches your vehicle configuration.
Common Questions
Current production time is 90 days before shipping. This is a made-to-order Q'Straint product. If your fleet has a scheduled deployment or compliance deadline, contact us before placing your order so we can confirm the timeline.
The mechanical system (Q10-018) uses a release hook bar (QS01262) for cot engagement and release — no power connection to the vehicle required. It is a simpler, field-maintainable option suited to fleets that do not need powered vehicle integration. The electrical system (Q10-021) adds an electrically-integrated docking base and additional hardware for powered connectivity. Contact us if you need help determining which variant is right for your configuration.
No. This listing covers the AMBULOK mechanical docking system only — the floor-mounted assembly the cot bracket interfaces with. The cot securement bracket (power SKU Q04BR201 or manual SKU Q04BR202) and patient restraint are included in the stretcher bracket kits, sold separately. Both the docking system and the correct bracket kit are required for a complete installation.
The mechanical docking system supports both power and manual cot configurations. Confirmed compatible models include the Stryker Power PRO XT Powered Cot, Stryker Performance PRO XT Manual Cot, Ferno PowerFlex+ ST Ambulance Cot, and Ferno ProFlexx Ambulance Cot. The cot type determines which bracket kit is required — contact us to confirm the right combination for your fleet.
AMBULOK is fully certified to SAE J3027 — covering frontal impact at 30 mph/22.5G, side impact at 15 mph/26G, and rear impact at 10 mph/11G. Certification covers litter integrity, retention, and patient restraint as a complete system.
Yes. The AMBULOK docking system installs and removes without tools in minutes, allowing the same OMNI Floor-equipped vehicle to be quickly reconfigured between cot transport and wheelchair securement configurations.
The AMBULOK Cot Securement Mechanical System carries a 1-year limited warranty from Q'Straint, covering manufacturing defects under normal use conditions. Full warranty terms are defined by Q'Straint.
Our team will confirm which bracket kit pairs with your cot, verify OMNI Floor compatibility, and help you choose between the mechanical and electrical docking systems.
