AL003 Tilt n Tote

I've tried a couple different brands of manual wheelchair carrier, and in my view this is the best product on the market. This is the third one I've bought (I use two at different locations, and the third is a replacement for one that was damaged in an accident.) Its design is fairly simple, so it's easy to use, and it's sturdy and well-made.

The tilt feature isn't completely self-evident. It does work if used properly, but most of the people who load my wheelchair ignore it and lift the chair onto the rack (which works fine), rather than rolling it up the incline.

I'm a 60-year old woman who uses a reclining wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury. Other people drive me in my car and load and unload my chair.

Easy to load wheelchair for my wife.

So far, none.

I like how easy it is to use and installing it was also very easy. I am 50 and fighting cancer on my spine, which has put me in a wheelchair.

Very easy & convenient to use. The product exceeded my expectation with regard to its heavy duty, quality construction.

The angle of the Hold Down Arm when properly adjusted to allow loading of the chair on the tilted platform allows contact only at the very outside edge of the outboard armrest of the chair. This sometimes requires repositioning of the chair to secure it for travel.

ease of use

I don't like that the fastening slot moves about. I feel that it should be tacked in place.
