In 1986, Congress passed the Air Carrier Access Act, which required all commercial air carriers to accommodate travelers with physical or mental disabilities. The AisleMaster Aisle Transfer Chair is designed to make that accommodation process easier, safer, and more convenient. Built especially for travelers with impaired mobility, the AisleMaster boasts a heavy-duty frame that sustains frequent use to and from airplane cabins. Its wheel system incorporates a mid-wheel turning mechanism that aids handlers in guiding the transfer chair around obstacles and corners.
In terms of protection, both AisleMaster models feature safety belts and a "deadman" brake system that automatically locks the chair's wheels when the back handle is released. For smaller aircraft, handlers and airline personnel may want to consider purchasing the AisleMaster 8010 model, which comes with a slightly narrower frame.
