INDUSTRY NEWSJuly 24, 2019

Mobility Management magazine has announced the 2019 winners of its inaugural Mobility Product Awards competition and the QLK-150 personal docking station from Q’STRAINT took top honors in the wheelchair securement category.

“Our Mobility Product Award 2019 winners demonstrate innovation and creative thinking, as well as a keen understanding of the always-evolving needs of complex rehab technology users,” said Mobility Management Executive Editor Laurie Watanabe. “Entrants were judged by experienced Assistive Technology Professionals (ATPs) and clinicians who work with a range of seating, accessibility and wheeled mobility users every day.”

Superior Product, Expert Training

What differentiates the QLK-150 from the rest of the entries and played an integral part in winning the Mobility Product Award is the company’s steadfast commitment to product support along with its training programs such as: online and on-demand courses, webinars, presentations, and national training events. Its most popular, practical and productive mobility training course is the: QLK-150 Certification to Configure. All of this cumulative training plays an integral part in educating the QLK-150 extensive network of users and dealers.

Unmatched and Thoroughly Crash Tested

The QLK-150, wheelchair securement docking station, provides more options and features than any other system on the market. It is also the safest. Each QLK-150 goes through a rigorous battery of crash testing to ensure that every QLK-150 is battle-tested and ready for vehicle installation and use. The QLK-150 represents the first and only docking system that meets the higher WC/19 wheelchair load requirements. It is also the only system that is tested Forward, Rearward and Sideways.

“If I didn’t have the mobility equipment — whether it’s a wheelchair or the crutches or a wheelchair accessible van with Q’Straint products in it — my quality of life would be greatly diminished,” says Larry Blocher, an avid sportsman and enthusiast of the QLK-150.

According to Mobility Management, an independent panel of judges from the complex rehab and mobility industries selected the top entries in 11 categories. These winners will be recognized and awarded trophies at the International Seating Symposium (ISS), to be held March 3-6, 2020, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
