Freedom has designed a new revolutionary EZ-FOLD side folding single and double seat. It completely eliminates any heavy lifting or bending down to the floor to reach levers. Several features are incorporated to make the daily task of folding or unfolding the seat much easier than ever before like:1) One leg only, so there is no tripping hazard.2) One hand lever to fold the seat flat.3) One foot lever to release the seat. It is gas-strut supported, so the seat moves up to its stowing position all by itself. This is probably the easiest folding seat on the market today. All EZ-Fold seats are manufactured in house to the highest quality standards. The seat complies with ADR 3/03 & 5/06 and is patent pending.

All EZ-Quick release seat mechanisms have been manufactured in house to the highest quality standards. The seat complies with ADR 3/03 & 5/06 and is patent pending.

FREEDOM RESTRAINTS

Q’Straint introduced the world’s first fully integrated 4-point wheelchair passenger securement system, the industry standard for more than 25 years. Each component is designed, engineered and tested to work as one cohesive system. In the event of a collision or sudden stop, the system isolates the forward forces of the occupant from those of their chair by directing the chair’s forces to the vehicle floor. Meaning less stress on the wheelchair occupant. Q’Straint provides quality products for all budgets, without jeopardizing safety.

Q’Straint 4-Point Wheelchair Securement System

The QRT series of retractors are the easiest and fastest-securing 4-point systems available today. These systems allow drivers to secure a wheelchair in less than 15 seconds, while reducing the risk of driver injury and drastically reducing vehicle wait times for transportation operators. These restraint systems are now an industry standard and are used in 90% of today’s Vehicles & Buses.

RETRACTOR SYSTEM

Warranty All Q’Straint wheelchair restraints come with a 1 Year warranty.

Note: If you prefer a different brand of restraint system, we will have no problem to installing them.

4 fully automatic tensioner retractable wheelchair straps with a knob, adapted to fit Q’Straint floor anchorage L-Tracking rails. Includes a lap only belt. Optional Lap sash Belt available. These restraints can be fitted at different positions on a track to suit different size wheelchairs. The strap a J Hook will hook to a solid frame member of a wheelchair and tension itself.

Freedom has several entry step solutions to cater for your passenger entry into your vehicle. We have the following steps available:

The Automatic Sliding step is operated by the door switch or driver operated switch. The design is very strong and suits the Australian environment. It comes in 600mm and 900mm wide sizes and can take up to 150Kgs. It comes standard with beeper and LED lights for safety. The Manual Fold Out step is easy to operate and can be folded out after the side door has been opened. This step can also take up to 150Kgs and fold neatly away in the door well. The 3 Tier Step can be automated and linked in with the original door switch on larger buses like Mitsubishi Rosa’s and Toyota Coasters. Our standard 3 ties step can take 150Kg’s and we have an option for a 200Kg step. All our steps have been designed to fit several brands of vehicles. Freedom has the right step solution for your vehicle.

FREEDOM STEPS

Freedom has a complete solution for your vehicle Handrail needs. Our handrails can be installed to your vehicle to make entering or leaving the vehicle easier for less mobile and elderly passengers. One or a combination of several handrails can be installed, and all are designed to give a modern appearance fitting well with the design of today’s vehicles. Our handrails are strong and durable and have a powder coated finish. Our handrails are built from 32mm and 25mm round steel pipe. There is a choice of external, internal and swing out handrails to fit different vehicles. We can custom make any handrail to fit any vehicle. The swing out handrails are an option that can be fitted to our standard fixed handrails and are a complete different construction compared to other products on the market. They can be opened from the inside in case of an emergency.

FREEDOM HANDRAILS

Freedom can install safety barriers in all buses and some vehicles (depending on the curtain airbags). There are several types of barriers. Cargo barriers, Vapour lock, driver protection barriers and passenger protection barriers. These barriers are mainly constructed out of a steel tube frame with aluminium sheet plate, different steel mesh sizes or even see trough polycarbonate sheeting. We can design and install the perfect barrier for your particular needs. Note, some vehicles are not appropriate for a safety barrier because they might interfere with existing curtain airbags in the vehicle during a collision.

FREEDOM SAFETY BARRIERS

Freedom has recently introduced a one piece flooring system that can be made to size for any type of bus floor up to a size of 4400mm Long x 1800mm Wide x 16mm Thickness. The floor is machined to the exact sizes by using a large CNC routing machine. We at Freedom believe that our company is the only one in Australia that can offer a one piece only floor. Traditionally floors are put together from several sheets of 12mm plywood, glued together, ground flat, screwed down with many screws through the main steel bus floor and then vinyl glued on to the top to give the illusion of a one piece floor. After several years you can start seeing the seams where the joints are coming loose etc. This does not occur with our floor system. Our floor and Vinyl are machined together in one piece so you end up with a superior product and a superior finish, only available from Freedom!

FREEDOM FLOORING

Freedom has a storage solution for your storage needs. If it is just a small box to store your wheelchair restraints or a huge box or area to store wheelchairs and walkers we can work together with you to find the best solution for your needs. We can even attach straps so you can restrain equipment while traveling.

FREEDOM STORAGE SYSTEMS

Storage or the lack of storage is a big concern for the Community Transport Industry. Items like shopping bags and mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers etc. are very difficult to store securely within a vehicle. In most cases seats are permanently removed to allow for extra storage space within the vehicle, reducing space for passengers. Open storage space without proper bracing can become a health issue with goods being propelled through the vehicle endangering passengers. Freedom has come up with a solution by designing a huge rear mounting storage box that can be fitted permanently or as a removable component. The Freedom storage box comes with its own rear lights and electronic connections. The Freedom storage box is set at a convenient height to alleviate bending and can take several folded walkers, wheelchairs and/or many bags of shopping. Adjustable ratchet straps and shopping bag holders are included.

Sizes: 1900mm Wide, 800mm Deep x 1000mm High Maximum Load: 100Kg

FREEDOM HUGE STORAGE BOX

Freedom can build an access door to the side or rear of you larger bus. The opening of the door is big enough to fit most wheelchair lifts and ramps on the market. The doors open with ease and can be fitted with an opening gas strut where possible so the door opens slowly and to hold the door open without the use of any extra holding latch. The door design compliments the original appearance of the vehicle as if it was built by the original vehicle manufacturers. The quality and workmanship is outstanding. These side entry single and rear door solutions are available for the Toyota Coaster & Mitsubishi Rosa Buses and other buses on request.
