The long awaited Lokk Up and Bakk Flip wheelchair restraint system is now available in the United States. The Lokk Up and Bakk Flip restraint system makes it possible for it’s user to securely drive while remaining seated in their wheelchair.
The Lokk Up secures the chair at all four points and the Bakk Flip backrest provides comfortable proper back, neck support and head protection that is unlike anything on the current market. The product was designed in Sweden and has been crash test certified to the ISO 10542 standards in Sweden at Volvo’s Safety Lab.
The Lokk Up & Bakk Flip allows for a person to drive while remaining in their wheelchair. Low-back, lightweight wheelchairs can be used to make safe and comfortable driving seats.
With the press of a button, the Lokk Up secures the chair at four points. The Bakk Flip backrest then turns into position, automatically giving the user proper back, neck and head protection and comfort.
Brian Satran, President of Mercury Dynamics LLC, the distributor of the product who has been working to bring it to the United States, chooses select dealers across the country to carry the Lokk Up & Bakk Flip.
Satran wanted to bring the Bakk Flip & Lokk Up to the United States because of the innovation of the automatic four point lock down system and supporting backrest that does not currently exist in the U.S. The Lokk Up is compliant to the new WC19 and SAE J2249 standards.
This device can easily be installed in all makes and models of lowered floor minivans, and full size vans. Lokk Up and Bakk Flip are designed to be used together but can also function with another docking device on the market. The invention will be showcased at upcoming mobility expos and conferences.
