Wheelchair Securement Systems for Vans & Accessible Vehicles

At Superior Van & Mobility, we understand how critical it is to secure your wheelchair when traveling in a wheelchair-accessible vehicle or handicap van.

Our certified mobility consultants are fully trained in wheelchair tie-down systems and automatic wheelchair restraints, helping you find the best solution for your needs.

Why Wheelchair Securement Matters

Proper securement protects both the wheelchair user and vehicle occupants during travel. Without it, a sudden stop or accident can result in serious injury or vehicle damage. Choosing the right securement system ensures:

  • Passenger safety in the event of an impact

  • Stability for your wheelchair during transport

  • Peace of mind knowing your equipment is secure


Ensure Safety with Q’Straint Electrical Retractor (QER) Wheelchair Restraint System

Q’Straint has done it again, bringing innovation to the mobility industry with a fully electronic version of their most popular retractable tie-down restraints. This system’s lock and release aspect is controlled electronically through the vehicle’s electrical system. This is the ideal system for those working with an accessible vehicle setup with limited access for someone to efficiently operate a set of manual or retractable tie-down restraints. The complete electronic design eliminates the need to physically handle and tighten the strap to ensure a secure and tight fit.
