Interactive Bracket List (version 2.0)

 

For Manual Wheelchairs:

• Lower frame rail must have round tubing
• Please measure the tubing diameter (usually 7/8” or 1” tubing) - If not possible then use the 1" size
• Specify whether the height of the lower frame rail from the ground is greater or less than 6” (See diagrams below)
• Manual Brackets may add up to 18lbs and may not be desirable on Aluminum or Titanium frame wheelchairs
• A stabilizer bracket is needed for driving applications and may interfere with single footrests (See diagram below)

For Power Wheelchairs:

• Make sure to note any seat elevating systems and whether there is an actuator inside of the battery box
• Be sure to ask if there are any custom options or accessories that have been added to the wheelchair such as elevating seats from other companies

Note: Brackets are developed using standard models of wheelchairs and are not guaranteed to work with additional accessories or custom options.

Welcome to the QLK Interactive Bracket List version 2.0!

You may notice some changes to our bracket list as we are continually working to update and improve the list.

Wheelchairs and brackets are constantly changing and evolving – and so are we.

How to use the QLK Interactive Bracket List:

Please check out our new video on how to use the list! Unless you know exactly what chair and what option to search for, we recommend following our Column Browser to drill down to the exact chair and option your customer has:

1. Scroll through the Company column and select the Wheelchair Manufacturer (ie: Pride, Invacare, etc.) - you will notice the Series column options change in real time.
2. Select the Wheelchair Series (ie: TDX or Jazzy).
3. Next, locate the Model Number of the chair.
4. Be sure to select any known options in the dual-options window such as battery sizes or special elevating seating options.

As you move through the Column Browser, you will see the wheelchair list filtering below. We highly recommend drilling down to the exact wheelchair in order to avoid any potential misreadings between options (ie: TDX SP with or without elevating seat option can be 2 different brackets)

Latest Updates:

The ‘Type’ column is our biggest addition.

We are changing the way we distinguish our brackets as we start to seei more and more complex wheelchairs emerge in the marketplace. The classifications can get very technical but here is a brief outline of the new ‘Type’ system:

• B1 : Includes most Manual Chair brackets.
• B2 : Includes most Power Chair brackets.
• B3 : May include a few larger and complex brackets: various weldments, forming and additional materials.
  (ie: Aluminum, Plastics, etc.) and may also include longer lead time brackets for obsolete and discontinued wheelchairs.

The Reference Bracket list has been removed.

As we develop more and more new brackets, we are finding that there are no corresponding reference brackets. We will try to keep any known reference information in the Notes section, but cannot guarantee their accuracy. We apologize for any inconvenience but hope you understand that we must stop looking at what’s been done and what others may be doing in order to continue to lead the way.

The QLK-150 column shows the corresponding bracket number that interfaces with the wheelchair listed.

NOTE: most brackets are similar between the QLK-100 and QLK-150 systems, however there are some low ground clearance wheelchairs that may only interface with the QLK-150 system when used with a lower floor mount. For example, the Jazzy Select bracket (Q04BR040) will interface with the QLK-150 that has a 1.5" base mount, however it will not work with a QLK-100 because there is not enough wheelchair clearance. Be sure to read the Notes section to view additional information.

The QLK-100 column shows only the corresponding bracket number that interfaces with the QLK-100 system.

So what are the weight limits of the QLK docking systems? How about forces in excess of 15,000 lbs!
