What Are QER-4000 Electric Locking Wheelchair Tie-Downs?
The QER-4000 is an electrically unlocking retractable wheelchair tie-down system designed for front wheelchair securement applications. Rather than relying solely on a manual release, the system uses the vehicle’s electrical system to unlock the retractors.
This design can be especially useful in vehicle configurations where limited space around the front tie-down locations makes conventional securement hardware more difficult to access.
QER-4000 Wheelchair Tie-Down Features
Electric Locking Mechanism
The QER-4000 uses an electronic unlocking mechanism connected to the vehicle’s electrical system, providing an alternative to manually unlocking the front retractors.
Designed for Front Tie-Downs
The retractors are intended for front wheelchair securement locations within a compatible vehicle configuration.
Space-Conscious Design
Electric retractors can be useful in applications where limited space around the front tie-down locations creates challenges for conventional securement hardware.
Retractable Webbing
The retractable design allows the tie-down webbing to extend for wheelchair positioning and retract when not in use, helping manage excess webbing.
Innovative Securement Technology
The QER-4000 offers an electrically operated unlocking method for compatible wheelchair securement applications.
How Do QER-4000 Electric Locking Retractors Work?
The QER-4000 retractors connect to designated wheelchair securement points and compatible vehicle anchorage locations. The vehicle’s electrical system operates the electronic unlocking function, allowing the retractors to be released as designed.
Because this system relies on electrical integration, installation must follow Q’Straint’s instructions and the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements. The complete securement setup must also include compatible rear tie-downs and appropriate occupant restraints.
