Wheelchair Tie Downs

The Most Simple Wheelchair Tie Down On The Market.

The EZ Lock wheelchair tie down system is a simple and effective means of securing an occupied wheelchair in a moving vehicle. Operation of the EZ Lock system couldn't be easier. The automatic locking mechanism simply requires that you guide your wheelchair over the top of the lock until the interface on your wheelchair is fully engaged into the docking station. Once you have reached your destination, release the wheelchair from the station with the touch of a conveniently located push-button switch.

The wheelchair tiedown is controlled by dependable state of the art electronics, which are accessed through the user-friendly ECU control panel. This panel controls release, deactivation of the alarm for unoccupied use, and includes an array of warning indicators to advise you of the status of the system. The EZ Lock system is compatible with many different wheelchairs; both manual and electric models, and is suitable for either drivers or passengers.

The BL-6290 Base Lock

The heart of the EZ Lock system. The casing is made of sturdy 3/16” powder coated steel, and the locking jaws are ¼” steel coated with a permanently bonded lubricant. Entry into the lock is mechanical, and release is effected by an electrical pull solenoid. An emergency mechanical release is also incorporated in case the vehicle loses power. The base lock is mounted to the floor of the vehicle, and acts as the receiver for the interfacing pin mounted to the wheelchair.

The ECU-2 is the main user interface

for the EZ Lock system. The functions of the ECU-2 include release, alarm buzzer deactivation for unoccupied use, and an array of warning indicators. The green light signifies that the locking jaws are completely closed and the system is safe to use. The yellow indicator light means that the locking jaws are not completely closed, and the user should exit, then re-enter the base lock. The red light indicates that the system has been de-activated, and is for unoccupied use only.

The Wheelchair Tie Down's Bracket

The EZ Lock system can accommodate a wide array of wheelchair styles, including manual and power wheelchairs.
