Handicapped Accessible Vehicles

A number of different types of handicapped accessible vehicles are available, providing you with many different choices. The most popular type of vehicle is the van because they are able to offer much more space and they are more accommodating to wheelchairs. Because of the varying types of disabilities that would require the use of a handicap vehicle, you will find that there are many different options and conversion styles with these vans.

Common Features in Handicapped Accessible Vehicles

One of the most common features you will find on a wheelchair van is the addition of a lift or a ramp. Lifts are often used on the larger, full size vans, while you will find ramps available on many different minivans. Vehicles are also available that have scooter lifts, which are perfect for those who use scooters but who do not need wheelchairs. Transfer seats are another common feature. They will be able to help you get into and out of the driver's seat. You may also find some vehicles that have lowered floors or raised ceilings to offer more room. A widened entryway is also possible on some vehicles. Hand controls to drive the van are available in many cases as well, and this makes it easy for those with limited or no mobility to operate their vehicle.
