The Adapt Solutions POWER PULL makes it much easier to get a wheelchair up & down a ramp.
Order of operation

With the ease of a wireless remote, the POWER PULL can be reached from outside the vehicle, making it a great solution for drivers in wheelchairs! Maximum capacity: 350 lbs & 15 feet of strong, 16 gauge, stainless steel cable.
With an innovative clutch system, the POWER PULL holds tension under all circumstances. It is equipped with a retractable, auto locking system. Therefore it cannot unravel or get tangled up. It always pulls in any slack.
The ‘RELEASE’ button removes all tension on the cable. This way you don’t need to wait for the cable to unroll. Simply pull the hooks to where you need them. The ‘RELEASE’ button also has a safety on it. It will not release if the POWER PULL is in use.
If the wheelchair is not going up the ramp straight, a breaker prevents you from being pulled over the side of the ramp. This system resets in only a few seconds, allowing you to reposition yourself. All the while, the POWER PULL cable is still holding you in place on the ramp.
When exiting the vehicle, the POWER PULL provides steady tension to help you back down the ramp. In the event that your wheelchair stops its descent because it is hooked on the ramp, the unique clutch system disengages the motor even if the ‘OUT’ button is being held. This means that when the wheelchair is straightened out, there is no slack in the cable, therefore, no uncontrolled rolling back down the ramp. Once the wheelchair is repositioned, the POWER PULL resumes normal operation.
The POWER PULL is ideal for lowered floor minivans. It takes up very little space in the vehicle and therefore is very versatile. The unit (5¨ high x 9¨ wide x 9¨ long) is usually fastened under or behind the third row bench – in a side entry; or in the center – in a rear entry.
