What Is the Oval L-Pocket Vehicle Floor Anchor?
The Oval L-Pocket Vehicle Floor Anchor is a fixed wheelchair securement anchor designed to provide a connection point for wheelchair tie-down equipment inside an accessible vehicle.
The anchor is installed on the surface of the vehicle floor and features a compact oval design. Compatible securement straps can connect to the anchor to help keep a wheelchair properly secured during transportation.
Its fixed design provides a permanent securement point while its low-profile construction helps minimize the amount of equipment extending above the vehicle floor.

How Does the Oval L-Pocket Work?
The Oval L-Pocket is designed to work with compatible wheelchair securement equipment. The anchor is mounted to the vehicle floor and provides a secure connection point for the tie-down system.

The appropriate number and positioning of floor anchors will depend on the vehicle, wheelchair, securement system, and installation requirements.
