EZ Lock Wheelchair Dock for Handicap Vans

The EZ Lock wheelchair docking system is built with the same goals in mind as the AMS handicap van conversion: to be safe, simple, and strong. The EZ Lock securement system locks a wheelchair in place and allows a person to drive or ride along as a passenger in their wheelchair.

All that is necessary to securely lock the wheelchair to the floor of the vehicle is to simply drive it into the docking base. The base is designed to help guide the chair into position with minimal difficulty, and once the wheel chair is positioned and locked, state-of-the-art electronics monitor the positioning and status of the base for your safety. OEM factory mounted seatbelts in the handicap van are used in addition for complete wheelchair occupant safety with the EZ Lock docking system.

The Technology behind the Electric Securement System

The simplicity in the design of the EZ Lock system hides the sophisticated technology used to improve the experience for the user to lock their wheelchair securely in a handicap van. The EZ Lock docking base is mounted to the floor of your vehicle and helps guide your wheelchair into place until it locks.

The state-of-the-art electronics in the EZ Lock securement system incorporates a safety measuring device that constantly monitors the status of your wheelchair during your trip. A user friendly control panel displays the system status providing lighted soft-touch switches for the control functions.

The technology in the docking system provides various safety measures to protect you once you lock into the docking base and start your handicap van. The system is designed to be error proof - once you are locked in and start the ignition, it will not release until you turn off your vehicle. It is also designed to warn you if you are not properly locked in when you start the vehicle.

Once you’ve reached your destination in your handicap van, with just the simple press of a button your wheelchair is released electronically from the docking base. In the case of an emergency, a manual release for the EZ Lock is also provided. There is no other securement system that provides the enhanced freedom of mobility and level of independence than the EZ Lock Wheelchair Docking System.

The EZ Lock Company has been around for over 20 years and as such, their product incorporates more than twenty years of research. It has been developed to the highest standards and has been repeatedly tested to SAE safety standards to ensure they are the safest products for you to use in securing your wheelchair.

The EZ Lock’s heavy duty construction designed with quality materials and careful craftsmanship provides you the best and sturdy wheelchair securement system available.

Their commitment to excellence has made their docking system America’s #1 choice for wheelchair docking safety.

The EZ Lock system includes a base, wheelchair bracket, and AMS Vans will install the wheelchair securement system in your handicap van. Our custom installation can take four to eight hours to install and requires the customer, their wheelchair and the handicap van to measure and install the system.

EZ Lock only works with certain wheelchairs approved by their company, so not all wheelchairs are approved for driver seating.

Because of AMS Vans commitment to safety for wheelchair users, you may need to call our agents to find out if your wheelchair is compatible in the handicap vans we offer.
