Operating Concept

THE OPERATING CONCEPT OF THE EDAG WHEELCHAIR LOADING DEVICE

Elegant, safe and fast. Simply press a button on the instrument panel, and the rear door (converted into a parallel swing door) opens fully automatically. The EDAG system comes to a halt at an angle of approx. 45° beside the driver’s door, within reach of the driver. This process takes just 12 seconds.

You then lock the folded wheelchair safely into place in the handle retainers with the sliding handles. This does not call for a great deal of strength – even somebody with limited use of their hands and fingers can secure the wheelchair in a matter of seconds.

Press the button again for the wheelchair to move into its final position behind the driver’s seat and the door to close automatically. The loading process, too, takes just 12 seconds, and can be interrupted in any position simply by releasing the switch. As the wheelchair is stored inside the vehicle, it is always a comfortable temperature, even in the winter.

The compact, intelligent design also ensures that three to four seats can be retained (depending on vehicle type). A stable wall separates the driver from the wheelchair.

Comfort

One button on the instrument panel controls all the functions: opening and closing the door, and retracting and extending the holder for your wheelchair. The loading device positions the wheelchair at an angle of 45° to the driver’s seat. In this way, we ensure that the wheelchair is in the ideal ergonomic position for you to be able to get in and out of it comfortably, and easily lock or release the wheelchair.

When the wheelchair is being loaded, it is locked onto the loading device by its handles, and then moved inside the car – still leaving 2/3 of the back seat available. This means that most vehicles equipped with the loading device are licensed to carry four people.

Safety

In exactly the same way as when a new car is being developed, a prototype of the EDAG wheelchair loading device is designed, produced and extensively tested.
As quality assurance has top priority at EDAG, we can offer you a system that is reliable and tough enough to see you through your daily routine.

This claim has been confirmed in tests carried out by TÜV/DEKRA. What is more, the EDAG loading device is the only system on the market that has been technically checked and approved by VW, Opel, Skoda and Renault. The EDAG wheelchair loading device is also an integral part of the sales programmes offered by many of the leading car manufacturers.

Reliability

Only high-grade, tried and tested materials used in automotive construction are used to manufacture the EDAG wheelchair loading device.

Should faults nevertheless occur, there is also a two-year guarantee on the device. In this case, you can either contact your local conversion partner, or give us a call. We will be happy to do what we can to help!
