QUANTUM

The QUANTUM automatic rear-facing securement station is redefining transit safety by combining securement expertise, intelligent technology and the latest in modern design.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. The mobility passenger centers their wheelchair or scooter against the backrest and engages the automatic locking sequence by pressing an ADA-friendly button.

2. QUANTUM’s arms safely secure the wheelchair in place; and continually adjusting their grip as needed throughout the journey.

3. Once the vehicle stops at a destination, the button is pressed again to release the passenger so they can disembark.

QUANTUM is the only system in the world that gives complete independence to mobility passengers; enabling them to secure themselves in less than 25 seconds with the simple push of a button – and without requiring driver assistance.

Features

• REAR-FACING SECUREMENT - As the preferred securement method worldwide, rear-facing securement is now being widely adopted in North America. Providing enhanced head and neck protection, it is proven to be one of the safest securement solutions available.

• DRIVER CONTROL - QUANTUM lets drivers stay focused on the road and gives them the flexibility to manage wheelchair securement from dashboard controls at their seat. If a passenger is unable to press the advanced CAPTRON™ button, drivers can easily activate QUANTUM to secure a wheelchair or return the station to neutral, allowing passengers to exit the vehicle.

• SMART SENSE TECHNOLOGY - Not even the hustle and bustle of a city bus can stop QUANTUM. Advanced sensor technology allows QUANTUM to detect any obstacles that interfere with its path, whether it be a standing passenger, a stroller or backpack. After three failed securement attempts, QUANTUM waits for the operator or passenger to reinitiate activation.

• INTEGRATED BACKRESTS - Realizing the necessity for variation, QUANTUM backrests come in sleek, neutral designs that allow for easy adaptation into all transit interiors. The international backrest features an elongated, narrow backrest, while the US version utilizes a shorter, wider backrest, as per ADA standards. The US version also includes an integrated lap and shoulder belt. These ultra-durable backrests feature heavy-duty vinyl and are built to withstand the wear and tear of consistent everyday use without sacrificing comfort.

• SMART CAPTURE - Prior to departure, QUANTUM’S intelligent capture feature grips wheelchairs and scooters at just half the force, giving both driver and passenger the opportunity to make adjustments as needed.

• CONTINUOUS GRIP - No need to worry about slippery floors, inclement weather or poor driving conditions. QUANTUM continuously monitors its grip throughout the journey, automatically readjusting to keep wheelchairs and scooters completely secure.

• TRANSIT TOUGH - With its stainless steel construction and durable over-mold grips, QUANTUM is built to endure the wear of everyday transit use. The solid framework was built to withstand the harshest seasonal environments, remaining easy to operate over thousands of cycles.

• LED LIGHTING - Proper warnings help avoid mishaps by keeping passengers alert. That’s why the QUANTUM design team took extra care in developing the LED lighting system around each moving arm. Clear auditory signals also remind passengers to be conscious of the station when the arms are in motion.

Benefits

• PASSENGER INDEPENDENCE - QUANTUM offers mobility passengers the dignity and independence to secure themselves. The simple one-touch operation offers users a safe and secure ride while keeping drivers in their seat and focused on the road. With QUANTUM, safety never depends.

• LOW MAINTENANCE - Maximizing safety while minimizing complexity was a key focus when designing QUANTUM. Through extensive field and lab testing we were able to develop a basic maintenance schedule that ensures optimal performance with minimal hassle.

• TIME SAVING - With wheelchair and scooter securement in 25 seconds or less, QUANTUM removes unknown variables and helps keep busses on schedule. With QUANTUM everyone gets going – safely and on time.

• MORE ROOM FOR EVERYONE - QUANTUM’S sleek design was carefully crafted with compact storage in mind. The securement arms fit seamlessly under modern theater-style seats, maximizing center aisle clearance and allowing for additional seating. QUANTUM gives everyone the freedom to move, maneuver or remain safely in place.

• APPROACHABLE - Engineered to blend beauty and functionality, QUANTUM boasts a rugged build that remains equally inviting. Let’s face it, nobody wants to enter a vise, but everybody wants to be restrained securely. QUANTUM provides the right balance – a solid stainless steel frame and soft, yet durable over-mold rubber that will not damage wheelchairs.
