New AMF-Bruns Winch System Pulls and Secures Wheelchairs into Vehicles

With boarding and alighting wheelchair falls on the rise, AMF-Bruns of America has developed Easypull — the world’s first fully-integrated winch system that pulls a wheelchair and passenger into a vehicle up a ramp. Attached to the front of the wheelchair, it effortlessly draws the wheelchair inside. Once in place, Easypull’s automatic restraint system secures the wheelchair to the vehicle.

Features and benefits include:

• Eliminates the need for a person having to physically push and secure a wheelchair passenger into a vehicle.
• Meets ISO 10542 and Resna WC18 testing requirements.
• Wireless remote control.
• Compact design.
• 2 speed levels / 13.12 ft / 4.02 m.
• Fully adjustable positioning of the wheelchair inside the vehicle.
• EMC tested (electro magnetic compatibility).

“Easypull is a technological breakthrough that eliminates the need for driver or caregiver from physically boarding a wheelchair inside a vehicle,” said Peter Haarhuis, AMF-Bruns of America CEO. “The product is easy to operate and meets all quality and testing requirements.”
