Two unique solutions for passenger onboarding and deboarding
INQLINE boarding systems are fully-integrated, crash-tested, heavy-duty winch systems that feature dual automatic retractors and an ergonomic thumb controller.
Each system gives you full control of your passenger, allowing you to guide the wheelchair up the ramp and into position without the usual shoves, snags, back-injuries or high liability potential associated with normal winch systems.
HOW IT WORKS:
01
The operator releases the INQLINE Securement belts and attaches J-hooks to the wheelchair frame to secure the mobility device.
02
Next, the operator uses the thumb controller to steer the wheelchair up the ramp and into the vehicle.
03
Once safely inside, the operator secures the passenger and is ready to go.
The INQLINE 360° thumb controller allows operators to effortlessly steer a wheelchair occupant up and down a ramp.
No two wheelchairs are perfectly balanced. No vehicle is ever parked on a perfectly level surface. Only INQLINE gives you the control needed to safely compensate and steer your passenger regardless of the everyday factors.

Testimonials
“As a business owner, it’s important that I supply our drivers with the best quality tools to do their job. INQLINE Securement alleviates most problems and accidents during the loading and unloading process, which is extremely important in our industry.”
“The INQLINE eases the process of embarking and disembarking a passenger traveling in a wheelchair onto the minivans and decreases the liability associated with driver injuries related to physically moving the wheelchairs on and off the minivans…Before the INQLINE, these injuries were more prevalent.”
“As a mobility passenger, after some eye-opening and frankly scary experiences boarding vehicles, I definitely saw the need for a safer, faster and less intrusive boarding system. The INQLINE ASSIST excels on all fronts and has taken away the fear and frustration that I previously felt when getting on and off vehicles.”
Feature Highlight
Even most winch systems still require operators to shove chairs over, or pull them free from snags, and take away the opportunity to safely bring them in or out of the vehicle in a controlled manner.
INQLINE Passenger Boarding Systems give operators full control of the boarding and securement process, requiring minimal physical strain regardless of the obstacles encountered. No more ‘running starts’ or back pain from struggling to push a wheelchair up a ramp.
INQLINE SYSTEMS features & details
Controlled Steering
Attempting to guide mobility passengers up or down a ramp, even in ideal conditions, can be difficult and sometimes dangerous. INQLINE systems simplify this process with an ergonomic thumb controller that allows the operator to manually steer the passenger in and out of the vehicle. Controlled steering not only reduces the possibility of tip overs, but gives the operator full command and confidence to tackle common hurdles like curbside parking, uneven surfaces and shifting weight distribution.
Dual Independent Retractors
Both INQLINE systems utilize two world-class Q’STRAINT automatic retractors as independently controlled winch systems with a patent-pending, over-the-top webbing design that provides several key advantages: an automatic-tensioning winch, the ability to install in more applications and ensure safe tie-down angles (virtually eliminating damage and liability associated with passenger and footrest interference), and an exponential increase in allowable floor space which allows for larger wheelchairs with less likelihood for unsafe webbing angles common in small vehicles. The new 360° rotating webbing guide keeps webbing twist-free and helps accommodate larger wheelchairs.
Wall Control Panel
The process of safely securing a mobility passenger is complicated and adding passenger boarding to the equation creates another level of complexity. The INQLINE wall control panel simplifies all of these functions into an intuitive 2-button unit. The operator can use the wall-mounted controls to easily manage the engaging, releasing and tensioning of the belts as needed; all while attending to the passenger.
Speed, Safety, Simplicity
Using either INQLINE system is simply the fastest and easiest way to safely onboard a wheelchair passenger into your vehicle. Drivers stay on schedule and mobility riders no longer feel like an inconvenience.
Reduced Liability
Gone are the days of running starts to gain momentum and back pain from struggling to push a wheelchair up a ramp. INQLINE gives operators full control of the boarding and securement process, requiring minimal physical strain regardless of the obstacles encountered. Passengers feel safer (because they are!) and operators have true peace-of-mind, leading to better interactions and more positive experiences for everyone.
A Better Ride
Ride quality in a rear-entry vehicle with traditional 4-point securements has always been substandard. Passengers and drivers alike want less curb time, less intrusive procedures and a smoother ride. INQLINE Securement’s ‘final squeeze’ feature uses electronic sensors to determine exactly how much pressure to apply to the wheelchair, ensuring proper securement at all times. No more swaying and no more guesswork. With INQLINE Securement, the wheelchair simply feels like part of the vehicle and that’s how it should be.
Integrated Securements
By integrating the front tie-downs into the retractors themselves, INQLINE SECUREMENT completely eliminates a time-consuming and uncomfortable step of the securement process. In addition, INQLINE SECUREMENT features improved angles for better securement. The front and rear tie-downs were designed to attach at the ideal angle every time, resulting in steadier ride conditions and a superior crash test performance unmatched by other systems.
Side Entry
Whether you have a side-entry or a rear-entry vehicle, the INQLINE ASSIST is fully customizable to fit your particular needs. For operators with side-entry vehicles, the ASSIST allows you to offer stress-free curbside passenger boarding. The compact design allows for the system to be installed under the seats, on the vehicle wall, or floor, or even on the ramp itself – maximizing space and comfort. The options are endless.
