There are three variants that provide increasing levels of accessibility to the user;

The R-Tran is the most basic variant. It consists of a swivel base of either manual or electric operation that allows the car seat to swivel out over the sill to facilitate entering or exiting the vehicle. Read all about it...
D-Tran - electric swiveling function and fully automated lowering and lifting system
The D-Tran swivels the car seat outwards and then lowers it to the desired position. The system offers the end user lifting heights from 300mm to 395mm, which facilitates transfer to and from the wheel chair. The adaptability of the D-Tran means that even new MPV vehicles are now an option for the end user.
The D-Tran features the same swiveling function as in the R-Tran as well as a continuously adjustable electrical lowering and raising function powered by an electric motor. The path of operation is fully programmable by the installer to ensure that maximum legroom is maintained. Read all about it...
