AMF Bruns | H5100 Hide-A-Way Wheelchair Securement Systems

AMF Bruns Hide-A-Way Wheelchair Securement System (H5100) is a low‑profile, floor‑integrated solution that frees up aisle space, increases passenger capacity, and makes securing wheelchairs fast and intuitive for bus and paratransit operators.

KEY FEATURES:

• Fully floor‑integrated restraints: Concealed retractors sit inside the floor, maximizing usable space and keeping the aisle clear of trip hazards.
• Mixed‑use seating bays: Supports both wheelchair and non‑wheelchair passengers; folding seats can be installed directly above the securement station.
• Ultra‑low profile: No exposed hardware to interfere with footrests, casters, or pedestrian traffic.
• Foot‑activated operation: Simple pedal release/lock mechanism removes guesswork and speeds securement training.
• Self‑locking, self‑tensioning retractors: Automatically maintain strap tension, tightening during evasive maneuvers or impacts.
• Multi‑vehicle compatibility: Designed for transit, paratransit, and mobility vehicles using forward‑facing wheelchair positions.
• Standards‑tested safety: Meets ISO 10542, SAE J2249, FMVSS 209/210/222/302, CMVSS 209, CSA Z605, AS 2596, and ADA accessibility requirements.

The Hide-A-Way System conceals self‑locking, self‑tensioning retractors inside the vehicle floor so flip seats can mount directly above the securement points, allowing the same bay to serve wheelchair or ambulatory passengers with no obstructions. Foot‑activated controls eliminate operator guesswork, while tested compliance with ISO 10542, SAE J2249, FMVSS, CMVSS, CSA Z605, AS 2596, and ADA supports safe, code‑aligned fleet operation.

Operation overview:

• Position wheelchair forward‑facing, engage brakes, release retractors with foot pedal, attach front/rear straps to approved frame points, then apply lap and shoulder belts per pelvis‑low, hip‑junction guidelines.

Ideal use cases:

• High‑frequency urban bus routes needing fast changeover between wheelchair and seated passengers.
• Fleets standardizing on clear aisles and minimizing hardware damage in high‑traffic environments.
