The wheelchair traction device works in upward traction and downward braking. The device provides upward traction when the wheelchair enters the vehicle with the help of the boarding guides and downward braking when the wheelchair exits the vehicle with the help of the guides.

The user or caregiver controls the on/off switch of the traction device through the remote control. The motor transmits power to the traction belt through a gear or belt drive, and the other end pulls the wheelchair to move.
