2.3.1 Loading and transport without occupants

Make sure that the packing size you require is suitable and secure the wheelchair and all dis-
mantled components with sufficient load securing. The wheelchair is suitable for transport (land/
air) in principle. Inform yourself about suitable load securing precautions before wheelchair
transport.
Carrying points:
• Frame tubes, rear l/r
• Frame tubes, front l/r
• But not on the footrests.
2.3.2 Transport of the wheelchair with passengers in a motor vehicle
The characteristics of wheelchairs mean that they can never achieve the stable properties
of a fixed seating system in a vehicle. Wherever possible, we recommend using a fixed vehicle
seat to transport a person in a motor vehicle.
Only wheelchairs that have successfully passed a crash test in accordance with
ISO 7176-19 may be used as seats in motor vehicles. Successfully tested wheelchairs
are provided with the symbol for the attachment point on the affixed nameplate.
The Loop RS has been successfully tested in accordance with ISO 7176-19
SORG
and is therefore approved for use as a seat in a motor vehicle provided that it is
fitted with the necessary restraint systems.
Please check whether your wheelchair is custom-made because it may not be
suitable for use as a seat in a motor vehicle. If this is the case, the symbol for the
attachment point will be missing from the nameplate and the wheelchair will be
marked with a warning, represented by the crossed-out symbol for the attachment
point.
More information can be found in the crash test brochure at www.sorgrollstuhltechnik.de/
downloadportal.
We can recommend the following manufacturers of restraint systems:
• SORG restraining eyelets on wheelchairs
• AMF-BRUNS GmbH & Co.KG
• Q'Straint Europe
