The new release offers faster installation, modular serviceability, operator feedback, and is now nearly 10% lighter.
The new wheelchair securement stations are made possible because TheRide was awarded $187,000 of grant funds.
The system is designed to ensure new levels of rider independence, safety, and dignity.
Wheelchair-using passengers simply push a button to engage the system’s automatic locking sequence. Quantum’s arms move into position and secure the passenger’s mobility device by gripping its wheels. The system continues to adjust its grip as needed during the bus ride.
Benefits of the Quantum rear-facing solution include shorter dwell times at stops; little or no involvement of bus operators; less likelihood of operator injury; and fewer instances of operators being placed in awkward working positions.
Recognized for installation of the wheelchair securement system on two City of Fargo, N.D., buses received last fall as well as the introduction of training programs.
Q'Straint’s Quantum automatic rear-facing wheelchair securement station is designed to international standards, built with transportation industry-standard technologies and is ideal for both new fleet or retrofit applications, according to the company. Beyond safety and durability, the Quantum was also designed with aesthetics in mind: the Quantum's appearance is unimposing and approachable, making it a thoughtful addition to any modern bus.
Now available for buses and other transportation companies, the Quantum's self-securement process takes less than 25 seconds, and does not require the driver to leave his or her seat to help.
Dozens of original products entered the competition. Quantum was one of only five innovations that were recognized.
The new product was developed by combining transportation insight, intelligent technology and a pioneering new approach to securement.
