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.”
