Unwin Safety Systems has launched the new ‘Dock N Lock’ system for securing wheelchairs and powerchairs in a vehicle.
The new ‘Dock N Lock’ securing mechanism from the leaders in accessible transport systems represents an innovation in drive from wheelchair technology.
It has been successfully tested to sustain a wheelchair or powerchair weighing up to 200kg and exceeds ISO 10542 and SAEJ 2249 standards.
It has been specifically engineered to offer practical features, easy and quick securement, and a sleek appearance and does not require high levels of maintenance.
‘Dock N Lock’ offers a single anchoring point for wheelchair and powerchair users to secure themselves without assistance. It consists of a floor-well docking module with dual locking action, a specifically designed wheelchair bracket and both electric and manual dashboard mounted remote release systems.
The compact docking module offers high levels of manoeuvrability for users to secure themselves from any angle, aesthetic looks to blend in with vehicle interiors, and its dual locking mechanism provides rigid stability, maximum safety and eliminates vibrations.
Elevating spacer plates and an adjustable mounting plate are available for flexible installation.
The low profile wheelchair bracket is designed to ensure the highest ground clearance to eliminate snagging on carpets and uneven surfaces, while the remote release includes a visible and audible warning indicator for users’ peace of mind.
