The platform tilts down to ground level, so the chair can be rolled aboard. Raising the handle returns the carrier to its travel position and engages the listed auto-locking mechanism.

Its simple arrangement has an important trade-off: unlike the WC-001 tilt carrier, this model does not lower to the ground for roll-on loading and does not fold away when empty.
