InPower Revolutionizes Safety Systems with the ITM-FT

InPower has taken a significant step forward in vehicle safety with the introduction of its latest innovation, the ITM-FT Wheelchair Safety Interlock tailored specifically for the Ford Transit series. For over 20 years, this Ohio-based company has earned a reputation as a reliable provider of affordable, compact, and durable Wheelchair Safety Interlock systems, designed to enhance safety in the mobility upfit industry. The new ITM-FT models are fully compatible with model year 2026, marking a notable milestone in their product lineup.

Streamlined Installation for Greater Efficiency

The ITM-FT offers remarkable improvements over previous safety interlock systems. Its design allows the device to connect directly into the Ford Transit's factory Data Bus. This innovation significantly simplifies the installation process, granting installers immediate access to most Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) door signals without the cumbersome task of running separate sensors or splicing into the vehicle's wiring.

This enhanced integration not only reduces installation time and costs but also promotes the flexibility of adding switch inputs when necessary. The clear benefits of the ITM-FT are evident: less wiring equals lower labor costs, and an efficient interface leads to faster installations. In today's fast-paced vehicle modification market, these advantages are crucial for both service providers and end-users.

A Growing Need for Safety Interlocks

Safety interlocks have been mandated on commercial vehicles equipped with wheelchair lifts for nearly two decades. However, the increasing adoption of these systems in privately owned mobility conversions signifies a shift in market dynamics. InPower has developed a diverse family of solutions to cater to various vehicle makes, models, installation methods, and compliance standards. Their commitment to quality ensures that each system is compact, reliable, and primed for years of service. Many ITM-FT units even integrate with dashboard displays, allowing seamless user interaction.

Patrick Sullivan, InPower’s Operations Manager, highlights the importance of this innovation: "The ITM-FT delivers faster installs and simpler diagnostics by connecting directly to Ford's data network. It's a smart evolution that saves time while ensuring compliance and safety—hallmarks of the InPower approach."
