A SINGLE APPROACH TO SAFETY
Q’STRAINT ONE is an all-in-one wheelchair securement platform that replaces the many parts and obstacles of traditional 4-point securement with a simplified single platform system
SECUREMENT, ASAP
Complete the securement process in record time and get your passengers on with their journey. With even the most difficult to secure chairs fully secured in under a minute, your daily routes never looked so fast.
Just how fast?
Watch a comparison of Q’STRAINT ONE vs. Traditional Securement.
CALLING ALL DEVICES
The Q’STRAINT ONE can better accommodate large mobility devices that are increasingly common. From standard wheelchairs to oversized, hulking powered chairs – Q’STRAINT ONE makes securement and transport far less stressful for both passengers and operators.
Extra Space?
Compare the Footprint of the Q’STRAINT ONE platform vs. a Traditional Securement area.
EASY & INTUITIVE
Never stress over securement procedures again. With user-friendly features like: color-coded components, easy to reach hook ups, push button locking & unlocking, and audio/visual feedback – every securement becomes a straightforward process that you can standardize across your fleet.
GET IT RIGHT, EVERY TIME
The extra large securement space and precise positioning of the Q’STRAINT ONE’s securement hooks makes achieving the ideal securement angles a breeze. This feature alone will help eliminate the primary cause of most wheelchair incidents related to improper securement.
EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE
Eliminate tripping hazards, storage worries and misplaced parts. All four retractors are integrated into the platform itself, making it virtually disappear when not in use. That’s it, that’s the system.
FINALLY, ONE APPROACH
Every Q’STRAINT ONE install includes instant access to the ONE APPROACH, a mobile-friendly, QR-Code accessible Quick Checklist & How-to Tutorial conveniently posted in the securement area to give operators even more confidence in the field. No matter the vehicle, wheelchair or operator, keep your approach to securement the same with Q’STRAINT ONE.
“The Q’STRAINT ONE system is a state-of-the-art technology for wheelchair securement safety and it will assist TransNet with our efficiencies considering that securement time is cut in half.”
–Susan Kopystecki, Executive Director at TransNet
SAME FOOTPRINT, MORE ROOM
Q’STRAINT ONE shares the same footprint as the standard securement area you are already using. Yet, the Q’STRAINT ONE actually gives you more room to secure.
See for yourself:
True Securement Space?
How is this possible?
Q’STRAINT ONE’s integrated retractors are significantly more compact than traditional securements, giving operators a full 6.5 inches more of coveted ‘True Securement Space’ versus the same sized location with traditional securements.
Why is this so important?
“I truly believe the Q’STRAINT ONE system is the most significant paratransit innovation of the last 30 years. Every securement challenge you can possibly encounter is fundamentally improved with this system.”
–Procurement Manager, Large Eastern Paratransit Agency
THE ULTIMATE PROBLEM SOLVER
Nearly all securement related incidents are caused by 1 of 3 securement challenges that can lead to disaster.
Q’STRAINT ONE eliminates or greatly reduces all 3 issues.
ISSUE 1:
Not anchoring securements properly to the vehicle floor.
Many incidents can be traced back to the beginning of the securement process where an operator fails to properly anchor the securements to the vehicle floor.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED:
The Q’STRAINT ONE eliminates this step in the securement process entirely.
By integrating the securements into the vehicle floor, the securement process begins with the securements already properly positioned. Problem solved.
ISSUE 2:
Not achieving proper belt angles.
Achieving approximately a 45-degree belt angle is essential to putting downward pressure on the mobility device and keeping it secure during routine driving. But as mobility devices have gotten larger and take up more of the ‘True Securement Space’, achieving the desired belt angle has become difficult or even impossible with some devices.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED:
More room between the chair and the securements makes it much easier to achieve the ideal belt angle – particularly with larger devices.
The additional 6.5″ of ‘True Securement Space’ compared to traditional securement can make all the difference in avoiding a serious injury or serious liability.
ISSUE 3:
Improper Occupant Securement Use.
More incidents are caused by improper occupant securement use than improperly securing the mobility device. This isn’t surprising considering that this step comes at the end of the securement process, and often requires significant close personal interaction between the passenger and operator. As a result, occupant securement use is often rushed or even ignored.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED:
The innovative, redesigned occupant securement exclusive to the Q’STRAINT ONE makes it easier than ever to ‘get it right’.
Q’STRAINT ONE occupant securements can be pre-loaded for easier access and the self-tensioning feature ensures better placement on the passenger – eliminating the invasive nature of occupant securement and dramatically improving the experience for both operators and passengers.
