Invacare®Transport-Tie Down Options
Invacare transport tie-down options go beyond the traditional “secure-
ment” brackets on other wheelchair designs. Both transport tie-down
options include four tie-down locations that are clearly marked for the
caregiver to see.
Invacare order forms will include two transport tie-down selections,
TRRO* and TRBKTS**. All Invacare wheelchairs with TRRO have been
tested and passed the ANSI/RESNA W/C Vol. 1 Section 19 standard
using a specific seating system and configuration. See order forms and
the owners manual for more information.
* TRRO includes four factory-installed transport brackets and a wheelchair anchored pelvic belt. TRRO has been crash-tested in accordance with ANSI/RESNA W/C
Vol. 1 Section 19 Frontal Impact Test requirements for wheelchairs with a 168 lb. crash dummy, which corresponds to a person with a weight of 114 to 209 lb.
** TRBKTS includes four factory-installed wheelchair transport brackets. TRBKTS has not been crash-tested in accordance with W/C 19. Use these transport brackets
only to secure an unoccupied wheelchair during transport.
This wheelchair conforms to the requirements of ANSI/RESNA W/C /19 vol. 1 –section 19.5.3 (Frontal Impact Test). Please refer to the back page of this sell sheet
for the ANSI/RESNA W/C 19 sec. 6.2 Presale Literature Notification. Invacare recommends that wheelchair users NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind while
in wheelchairs. As of this date, the U.S. Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down system for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair in a
moving vehicle of any type. It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use
be made of the restraints made available by the auto industry.
