AMF Bruns Easy Pull winch system pulling wheelchair into back of rear entry van

AMF-Bruns of America is the leader of technology for wheelchair users in the global marketplace, founded in 1958 by Gustav Bruns. Throughout the years since then, the company has created several products that improve the safety and comfort of individuals using wheelchairs inside of vehicles. They were the first to develop a wheelchair anchoring system, to pass various crash tests, to make integrated lap belts and in-floor securement system, and most recently the eFutureSafe Head & Backrest / Seatbelt Anchorage.

Easy Pull

Wheelchair Secured in back of Vehicle Passenger in Wheelchair with Easy Pull System Wheelchair secured in with Easy Pull waiting to be pulled into van

Their newest innovation, the Easy Pull, is a winch and restrain system that effortlessly pulls a wheelchair and passenger up a ramp and into a vehicle. The restraints are secured down inside of the vehicle and attach to the front of the wheelchair, allowing it to be automatically pulled inside.

PROTEKTOR® Wheelchair Restraints

Since the 70’s, AMF-Bruns has led the development of wheelchair securement systems. They’ve built on their original 4-point system, which was self-locking and self-tensioning for better security. Today this design has advanced into the PROTEKTOR ® system, which provides imperative stability to passengers during the event of a collision. This system has three different series, platinum, silver, and black, which accommodate varying levels of weight.
