As the adapted powerchair is driven into position,
the mechanism activates and locks the Balder
model, whilst the user is secured via the vehicle
seat belt. The locking collar is easy to access with a
wide opening and deactivation is straightforward
when de-docking, via a conveniently located button
installed on the powerchair armrest.
In addition to the Balder Automatic Tie-down
System, Etac also provides the Balder Undercarriage
System which can be fitted to the underside of
standard vehicle seats. This provides the additional
flexibility to remove standard seating and exchange
the position of the Balder user so that travelling
either as a passenger or driver is possible.
The Balder Tie-down System from Etac is unique
when compared to other drive-from-wheelchair
solutions as the powerchair provides the electrical
source for the locking mechanism. This delivers
faster, less obtrusive adaptations to the vehicle as
additional electrical wiring is not required.
Whether you are driving the vehicle or travelling as
a passenger the Etac Balder Automatic Tie-down
System, which has been successfully tested to the
ISO 7176-19 standard, will always leave you feeling
safe and secure.
