Alerta Medical Crash-Tested Car Transit Wheelchair

Who Can Use the Alerta Medical Transit Wheelchair?

The product meets these requirements, and is fully adjustable to allow easy and comfortable transfers. The Alerta Transit Wheelchair suitable for use in:

  • Community transportation ambulances

  • Care home buses

Is a Crash-Testing Certificate Available?

Yes, click the link below to download the crash-testing certificate. The test certifies the chair under EN ISO 7176-19:2008, as amended by EN 12183:2014.

How Comfortable Is the Alerta Car Transit Wheelchair?

The Alerta adjustable wheelchair features a comfortable and adjustable design. The footrests are both designed to swing away for easy entry and exit from the chair, as well as being detachable for storage. The footrests also flip up for further versatility, while drop-down padded armrests add extra comfort.

How Do I Transport the Chair in a Vehicle?

We recommend that, where possible, the user transfers to a vehicle seat when in transit. However, when this transfer is not practical or possible, we recommend the following:

  • Ensure that the vehicle is suitable designed, insured and equipped to transport a passenger seated in their wheelchair
  • Remove any accessories or any other part of the wheelchair that can be easily detached prior to departure
  • Ensure the wheelchair is in a forward-facing direction. Rear facing is only acceptable if the passenger's head can be supported by a suitable bulkhead
  • The vehicle must have a strap that goes across the user to create a traditional three-point belt harness
  • We recommend the wheelchair is secured within the vehicle using the four-point webbing tie-down system with carabiner (as shown below)

How Durable Is the Alerta Wheelchair?

This wheelchair will last a long time and stay working at its highest capacity due to its durable design. Equipped with a stable and robust powder-coated steel frame, this chair will stay rolling for as long as you need it to. With its rear 12" puncture-proof tyres, the Alerta wheelchair is safe and supportive.

Is 'Crash Tested' Displayed On the Wheelchair?

Ambulances, minibuses and other mobility-friendly vehicles will only allow a wheelchair to be used while in motion if it bears the crash-tested markings. The wheelchair has been fully certified as crash-tested, and a clear marking can be found on the frame of the chair.

Why Is Crash Testing Important?

Crash testing is important as it helps to ensure that the wheelchair is suitable for use as a seat in a vehicle during transportation. This chair is sure to keep you safe while travelling.

How Hygienic Is the Alerta Crash-Tested Wheelchair?

The seat and back of the chair are made from a wipeable PVC. This ensures that the chair can be wiped clean in between use, helping to maintain hygiene.
