A complete, SAE J3027-certified Ambulok system requires all three components. This bracket (Q04BR202) is the cot-side component that connects your cot to the vehicle-side docking system. You must also purchase a Docking System (Q10-018 or Q10-021) separately. Contact us to confirm cot compatibility and Patient Restraint availability before ordering.
Overview
The Q'Straint Ambulok Stretcher Bracket Manual (Q04BR202) is the cot-side interface component of the Ambulok three-part cot securement system. It bridges your manual cot and the Ambulok vehicle docking system, completing the three-component assembly required for a fully SAE J3027-certified cot securement solution. Contact us with your cot make and model to confirm this is the correct bracket before ordering.
Built by Q'STRAINT — the globally recognized leader in patient and wheelchair securement — the Manual Bracket is designed to mount to compatible manual cots without drilling, cutting, or any modification that would compromise the integrity or warranty of the cot.
Cot Compatibility — Contact Us to Confirm
⚠
Contact us with your cot make and model before ordering. Each Ambulok bracket is specific to a cot model — using the wrong bracket will prevent proper docking and system certification.
The Ambulok system is designed to work with virtually any cot brand — each cot model requires its own specific stretcher bracket. The Q04BR202 is the Manual bracket interface. Multiple bracket options are available for different cot models including Stryker and Ferno cots.
Other available and upcoming brackets: Q04BR201 (PowerPro bracket) | Ferno PowerFlex+ ST bracket (coming soon) | Ferno ProFlexx bracket (coming soon).
Have a different cot brand or model? Contact us — additional brackets may be available or in development.
Key Features
Cot-Specific Precision Fit
The Manual bracket is engineered for a precise, secure fit — no adapters, no fabrication, and no guesswork. Contact us to confirm it's the right bracket for your specific cot model.
Zero Cot Modification
Attaches to your compatible manual cot without any drilling, cutting, or permanent alteration — your cot stays fully intact and warranty-valid.
Part of an SAE J3027-Certified System
When paired with the Ambulok Docking System and Patient Restraint, the complete assembly meets the SAE J3027 crash standard: Front 30 mph / 22.5G, Side 15 mph / 26G, Rear 10 mph / 11G.
Compatible with Both Ambulok Systems
Works with both the Ambulok Mechanical System (Q10-018) and the Ambulok Electrical System (Q10-021) — pair it with whichever docking system suits your operation.
One-Handed Docking
Lightweight (≤10 lbs.) and ergonomic, the bracket is designed for fast, single-handed docking with the vehicle system — essential for high-paced NEMT workflows.
Tool-Free Operation
Connects and releases from the Ambulok docking system without tools, making load/unload fast and easy transitions between cot and wheelchair transport seamless.
Why Choose the Ambulok Manual Stretcher Bracket?
The Q04BR202 Manual Bracket brings your existing manual cot fleet into a fully SAE J3027-certified securement system — without replacing cots, altering them, or committing to a proprietary fixed-vehicle solution. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your cot model.
Protect Your Cot Investment
Your cot fleet represents significant capital. This bracket attaches without any permanent modification — no drilling, no cutting — preserving full resale value and manufacturer warranty coverage.
Achieve SAE J3027 Compliance Today
Rather than waiting to replace your cot fleet, the Manual Bracket brings your existing manual cots into compliance with SAE J3027 immediately.
One Bracket, Two Systems
The Q04BR202 works with both the Ambulok Mechanical System (Q10-018) and the Ambulok Electrical System (Q10-021). If you upgrade your docking system down the road, your bracket investment carries over.
Manual Cot Interface
Designed for manual cot operation, the Q04BR202 is the bracket solution for fleets that run non-powered cots and want a certified, removable cot securement system without altering their equipment.
Applications & Who This Bracket Is For
Manual Cot NEMT Operators
If your fleet runs manual (non-powered) cots and you need a certified securement solution, the Q04BR202 is the cot-side bracket that makes the Ambulok system work.
NEMT Cargo Van & Minivan Fleets
Whether you operate cargo vans or rear-entry minivans with OMNI Floor, the Manual Bracket gives your fleet a certified, removable cot securement solution that transitions easily between transport types.
Fleet Compliance Upgrades
Operators with non-compliant manual cot fleets can achieve SAE J3027 compliance by pairing each cot with the correct bracket and each vehicle with an Ambulok Docking System — no new cots, no new vehicles required.
Dual-Use Transport Operations
The bracket removes cleanly from the cot and the docking system removes from the vehicle — enabling the same van or minivan to handle both cot transport and wheelchair securement from one platform.
Not sure which bracket you need? Each Ambulok bracket is cot-specific — using the wrong bracket will prevent proper docking and system certification. Contact us with your cot make and model number before ordering and we will confirm the correct bracket. The other available bracket is the Ambulok Stretcher Bracket PowerPro (Q04BR201).
