Koller restraints are built for the heavier end of accessible transport — larger powered wheelchairs, heavier occupants, and the vehicles that carry them every day. If your fleet runs Koller equipment, your drivers and escorts need training that matches what that kit is designed to do.
Accessible Ltd delivers Koller wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint training on site, on your own vehicles, anywhere in the UK.
You may see it written as Koller, Koller Engineering or Koller restraints, and the equipment itself called Koller clamps, retractors, tie-downs or combined restraints. It all refers to the same family: the retractors and rails that anchor the wheelchair to the vehicle floor, and the belts that restrain the passenger.
Accessible Ltd holds manufacturer approval from Koller Engineering, alongside BraunAbility, NMI Safety Systems, Q’Straint, AMF Bruns, PLS Passenger Lift Services and Ratcliff Palfinger. Your staff learn the manufacturer’s intended method, on the equipment your vehicles actually carry.
Koller Engineering has been manufacturing wheelchair accessible vehicle products since 1980, producing restraints, rails and bonded floors, wheelchair winches, load securement, removable seat fixings and restraint accessories — manufactured and assembled in house.
Koller states that its restraints are the strongest in the world, exceeding ISO 10542 crash testing requirements by more than 30 per cent. The company reports testing to ISO 10542 for occupant weights up to 102kg, against the 77.7kg dummy the standard itself specifies, and says it was the first manufacturer to offer combined wheelchair and occupant restraints tested to wheelchairs up to 200kg.
That headroom matters in service. Heavier powered chairs and heavier occupants are increasingly common, and equipment rated for them is only as good as the way it is fitted and used.
Under Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must provide the information, instruction and training their staff need to work safely. For any organisation transporting wheelchair users, that means genuine competence with the restraint system fitted to the vehicle.
Equipment regulations sit alongside this. LOLER requires a thorough examination of passenger lifting equipment every six months, and PUWER Regulations 5 and 6 require work equipment to be maintained in good repair and inspected at suitable intervals.
We are independent. We hold approvals across the major manufacturers rather than representing one, so we train your staff on whatever your fleet actually carries. A mixed fleet of Koller, Unwin, Q’Straint and BraunAbility equipment can be covered in a single course.
We come to you, anywhere in the UK, and train on your own vehicles with your own equipment. We are an approved supplier to the NHS, MOD, police forces, patient transport services, county councils, care homes, schools and colleges.
Yes. Heavier chairs and occupants are exactly where correct technique matters most, and the Koller heavy duty range is covered in full.
Yes, and it is the main reason organisations come to us rather than a single manufacturer’s trainer.
It depends on group size and how many systems your fleet runs. Call 01282 504455 and we will scope it honestly.
We recommend regular refreshers. Skills fade, staff change and equipment gets replaced — refreshers keep competence current and evidence your duty of care.
Koller and Koller Engineering are trade names of the manufacturer. Accessible Ltd is an independent training provider. We do not sell or supply Koller equipment — we train the people who use it, and we hold Koller Engineering manufacturer approval to do so.
If your fleet is mixed, these may be useful too:
