designed with a high degree of flexibility that allows users to change the interior layout of their vehicle on the spot, meaning seats can be effortlessly moved down the base bonded rails (or even removed altogether) to enable easy access for a wheelchair. ‘Ricon Handifloor & Handiplate’ provides an aluminium base for the vehicle floor which attaches the 'RiconSecure' restraint system to the floor ensuring it remains in the correct position at all times for all wheelchair types and alleviates any operator error, delivering maximum safety each and every time. The system is especially suitable for MPVs, minibuses,
ambulances, PTS vehicles and it also meets the new criteria laid down for bus operators. Both RiconSecure and Ricon Handifloor and
Handiplate are fully approved for most vehicle types including the new Ford Custom and are suitable for use in both public service and private vehicles.
