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.

What Is the Vented Model WeatherBreaker™ Canopy?

The Vented Model WeatherBreaker™ Canopy by Diestco is a weather-protection canopy that attaches to a wheelchair, power chair, or mobility scooter to shield the rider from sun and rain. The vented design adds side and rear mesh windows plus a rear cover, so you get airflow and visibility when it is warm and full coverage when the weather turns.

Each canopy is made from weather-resistant nylon with 300-yard reflective trim for added visibility, and it is available in adult and pediatric sizes in four colors. It is handcrafted in Chico, California, by Diestco Manufacturing, which has built the WeatherBreaker™ since 1992.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the vented model and the standard WeatherBreaker™?

The vented model includes side and rear mesh windows and a rear cover, which add ventilation and visibility compared with a canopy without those features.

Will it fit my wheelchair or scooter?

The WeatherBreaker™ is made to mount to many makes and models, but you must state the make and model of your chair or device when ordering so the canopy is built to fit. If you are unsure, call 800.884.6456.

Which size and color should I choose?

Choose adult (SKUs C2120, C2220, C2320, C2420) or pediatric (SKUs C1120, C1220, C1320, C1420) based on the rider and chair. Colors are Teal Green, Navy Blue, Cranberry Red, and Charcoal Grey.

How long does it take to receive my canopy?

Diestco makes each canopy to order. Production currently takes up to 14 business days, and orders ship Tuesdays and Fridays via FedEx from Chico, California.

How do I install it?

Diestco provides a video showing how to mount the canopy: watch the mounting instructions.

Does the canopy make a wheelchair safe to secure in a vehicle?

No. It is a weather accessory only. Vehicle transport requires a tested wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system. See our securement kits.

I have used them before I really do like them a lot they are real good to tie and secure a wheelchair in to a bus are even medical van

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.

This is my second one. I liked it so much on my old chair i purchased one for my new chair.

A perfect fit for my Whill C2. Quick shipping.

Great fast shipping and a great safe product

Fit great. Firm installation.
Great company to deal with.
A little expensive.

I had such a great experience buying this part, I ordered it, the cost was exactly what I though, the shipping happened very quickly and installing the piece was so easy that I had it done in minutes. I had a great experience ordering from this company.

I have 2 sets of these - they work great! so much better that the manual straps.
