TRANSPORT OF WHEELCHAIR USERS IN VEHICLES

Transport of wheelchair users in vehicles- guide and standards

We have looked into:
ISO 7176-19 “Wheeled mobility devices for use as seats in motor vehicles”

"The test standard ISO 7176-19 is developed by authorities and specialists and it states a minimum demand on wheelchairs regarding transport in vehicles." (Invacare Pre-sale information booklet, 2009)

The following images are taken from an invacare guide that is available with all of their wheelchairs. 
Invacare are a Elyria, Ohio and UK based company that was founded  in 1885, they are market leading manufacturers of mobility products.
