What is a 4-point wheelchair tie-down system?

A 4-point tie-down uses four retractors or straps — two at the front and two at the rear of the wheelchair — to secure the chair to the vehicle floor. When combined with a lap and shoulder belt for the occupant, it meets federal ADA and WC18 securement standards for paratransit, NEMT, and school bus transport.

Is wheelchair securement required by law?

Yes. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that all public transit vehicles equipped to transport wheelchair users must have an approved securement system. NEMT providers, paratransit operators, and school bus fleets are all subject to federal and state securement regulations. Failure to comply can result in fines and significant liability in the event of an accident.

What does WC18 compliant mean?

WC18 is the RESNA/ANSI standard that defines performance requirements for wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint systems (WTORS). WC18-compliant products have been crash-tested to withstand higher load forces than previous standards, providing greater protection for wheelchair users in the event of a collision or sudden stop.

Which wheelchair securement brands do you carry?

We are an authorized dealer for Q'Straint, AMF Bruns, and Sure-Lok — the three leading manufacturers of wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint systems worldwide. All products meet or exceed WC18 compliance standards where applicable.

What is the difference between an L-track and a Slide N' Click system?

L-track is a recessed floor channel that accepts fittings at any point along its length, giving installers maximum flexibility in retractor placement. Slide N' Click is Q'Straint's proprietary system using pre-set anchor points that allow faster, tool-free securement — popular in high-volume paratransit operations where speed of securement matters.

What is the difference between a manual and retractable wheelchair strap?

Manual straps are fixed-length webbing straps with a hook or loop connection — simple, affordable, and reliable. Retractable systems use a spring-loaded mechanism to automatically take up slack, making securement faster and reducing trip hazards from loose webbing. Electric retractors add powered retraction, ideal for operators or drivers with limited hand strength or mobility.

Do you offer fleet pricing for multiple vehicles?

Yes. We offer fleet pricing for operators outfitting five or more vehicles. Submit your vehicle count, vehicle type, and preferred brand through our Fleet Quote form and a specialist will respond within one business day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this belt designed specifically for wheelchair occupants? +

Yes. Wheelchair occupant restraints are purpose-built for wheelchair transport and are different from standard vehicle seatbelts. They are designed to account for the wheelchair seating position and attach to the vehicle floor track or rear tie-down points rather than a fixed vehicle seat.

Will this belt fit the occupant comfortably and safely? +

The same fit principles apply as any seatbelt: the lap portion should sit low across the pelvis — not the belly — and the shoulder portion should cross the center of the chest without cutting into the neck. If the belt rides up or doesn't fit correctly, check seating posture, belt length, and whether a positioning guide is needed.

Is this belt compatible with my existing securement system? +

It is recommended that all components — retractors, occupant belt, and floor anchorage — be from the same manufacturer. Contact us with your current system details and we will confirm compatibility before you order.

What are best practices for positioning lap and shoulder belts on riders? +

Lap belt: low on hips and pelvis, never across the stomach. Shoulder belt: mid-chest, over the shoulder bone, not the neck or under the arm. Both should be snug, flat, and untwisted. These same principles apply regardless of wheelchair or vehicle type.
