Did you know that 96% of wheelchair users need transportation help to go to non-emergency medical appointments? Every year 40-60 million wheelchair patients are transported in the US to these appointments. They must be transported safely. There are many vehicle types, and one of the most popular has some challenging user experience issues for the drivers when securing wheelchairs. The drivers and caregivers use retractors or connectors to ensure the wheelchair is secured properly for travel. The main issue for some users is simply reaching or accessing some of these retractors. Reach Key solves this by providing users with a greater ability to reach these and connect the wheelchairs than ever before. Several seasoned industry trainers see Reach Key as a needed solution to this problem.
Best of all, when a wheelchair occupant sees the driver using Reach Key, they are often impressed by how it helps the entire trip to be more efficient. We launched Reach Key in August 2025 and have had initial sales across the US. We are an official vendor for the Abilities Expo in Chicago this June 2026 and are excited to get the word out about Reach Key!
