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.

Do your products come with installation instructions?

Yes. All products ship with manufacturer installation guides. We also maintain a full library of installation and user guides on our website for Q'Straint, AMF Bruns, and Sure-Lok products. Our specialists are also available by phone at 800.884.6456 if you need installation support at no charge.

The Diestco Top Slit Powerchair Cover is designed to accommodate hoist lift docking devices with an 8" top slit. The docking device can stay in place through the cover, so the chair goes on and comes off the hoist lift easily. The slit seals with a 2" hook-and-loop closure to prevent leakage. It is made in the USA and is only available in Diestco's Heavy Duty material. Choose your size below, or use the Size Finder to match your chair's make and model.

Made to order: Each Top Slit Powerchair Cover is made to order. Lead time is 3-7 days.

Key Features

8" top slit designed to accommodate hoist lift docking devices.
Docking device stays through the cover for easy on and off operation.
2" hook-and-loop closure seals the slit to prevent leakage.
Reflective strip for easy visibility.
Heavy Duty material only: this style is not offered in Diestco's Standard material.
Made in the USA by Diestco Manufacturing Corporation.

Secure the cover for highway travel. Always secure your cover with bungee cord(s) or another method when transporting on the roadways. The cover is not intended for highway use without a securing device such as rope or bungee cords (not included) over the top of the cover. This reduces excess room under the cover and keeps it from billowing up at high speeds. A cover that flaps excessively at highway speed will have a greatly shortened life, and damage from misuse is not covered under any warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the top slit for?

The 8" top slit lets a hoist lift docking device stay attached through the cover, so you can put the chair on and take it off the lift easily. The slit seals with a 2" hook-and-loop closure to prevent leakage.

What size powerchair cover do I need?

Use the Size Finder above to match your chair's make and model to Regular, Tall, Large, Extra Large or Super Size. A few chairs depend on seat height (for example a Regular or Tall choice), and a small number of very large chairs, such as the Jazzy 1650 and Pacesaver Boss 6NS, are too large for any Diestco powerchair cover.

How long does it take to get my cover?

Each cover is made to order, with a lead time of 3-7 days.

Is the top slit cover available in Standard material?

No. The Top Slit Powerchair Cover is only available in Diestco's Heavy Duty material.

Can I use this cover at highway speed?

Only when it is secured over the top with bungee cords or rope (not included). Without a securing device the cover can billow and flap at speed, which greatly reduces its life. Damage from misuse is not covered under any warranty.

Not sure which size fits your chair?

Our team can confirm your size before you order.

I called them because I had a few questions, the person was very helpful and super fast shipping to Canada too!

Good product. Only issue is it can be a bit difficult to crank down the straps as the knob is quite close to the floor and it's diffucult to get a good grip on it.

very prompt shipping out my order to Canada

This company is wonderful. They called and texted me to make sure I received the correct holder for my chair. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

High quality and really holds my daughter well in her wheelchair.
