Car tailgate strap

A lady with limited limb movement was unable to close the tailgate on her car, in which she transports her electric scooter.

A bracket was installed inside the tailgate, into which an adjustable seat belt width strap was fitted. The tailgate is opened with the assistance of hydraulic arms, which also act as counterweights, making closing possible via the strap.

The client is no longer dependent on members of the public to close the tailgate, thus re-establishing her independence when, for example, she goes shopping.
