Securing the wheelchair with a strap system
⚠
The standard 4-point WTORS is only tested for a wheelchair weighing 85 kg + user in
accordance with ISO 10542-1.
⚠
For securing wheelchairs weighing over 85 kg, it is recommended that you use a heavy
duty system, which conforms to ISO 10542, and which is tested for its ability to withstand the
total weight of the wheelchair, including all options. For a heavy duty system, 4 straps are used
to secure the wheelchair, 2 straps in front and 2 straps behind.
⚠
If a standard 4-point WTORS is used to secure a wheelchair weighing more than 85 kg, 6
straps must be used to secure the wheelchair. 2 straps in front and 4 straps behind.
⚠
Never use tie-down equipment that does not carry the ISO 10542 approval marking.
