BUSCON 2014: Technology Showcase
Q'STRAINT
The Q'Straint QRT-360 is the first four-point, heavy-duty, fully automatic
retractable tie-down system designed, engineered, and built to perform
successfully in a 30-mph frontal crash when the user of a powered
wheelchair is traveling in a motor vehicle while using a commercially
available crashworthy lap belt that must be used in the frontal-impact test
conducted of wheelchairs under WC19. The new QRT-360 meets these
increased standards years ahead of their effective date in 2015.

FREEDMAN SEATING CO.
Giving its engineers two priorities — safety and comfort — resulted in the Esquire
seat. Features include height-adjustable three-point shoulder belts, Knee Saver
backrests for increased hip-to-knee room and contoured head rests. Also on display
at BusCon was the Eleganza by FMS collection. Ideal for executive shuttles, the
Bellagio, Trieste and Napoli seats are available with several different insert styles and
upholstery materials, allowing operators to customize the look that fits their needs.
