About Transport Ready Packages

TRRO includes four factory‐installed transport brackets and a wheelchair anchored
pelvic belt. TRRO has been crash‐tested in accordance with ANSI/RESNA WC Vol 1
Section 19.5.3. Frontal Impact Test requirements for wheelchairs with a 168 lb crash
dummy, which corresponds to a person with a weight of 114 to 209 lbs.
TRBKTS includes four factory‐installed wheelchair transport brackets. TRBKTS has not
been crash‐tested in accordance with WC 19.5.3. Invacare recommends that these
transport brackets be used only to secure an unoccupied wheelchair during transport.
As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie‐down systems
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.
