Gain Mobility with Handicap Accessible Vans

Mobility is a big issue with those who have limited abilities. There are greater mobility options for the handicapped now than ever before. One of the best ways to gain more mobility is through the use of handicap accessible vans. These vans are specially designed to provide access to those in wheelchairs or scooters.

Those with disabilities have often been unable to drive or to be easily transported. As a result they often have become home-bound. Today, disabled people are able to get around quite easily thanks to handicap accessible vans. These vans provide an easy way to get from one place to another.

If you're ready to purchase a vehicle it's important to know your options. Handicap accessible vans are usually either full size vans or minivans. Each comes with some pros and cons. For example, a full size van offers the space necessary to transport one or more wheelchairs at a time and can easily accommodate a wheelchair lift. The full size van, however, is large and may be difficult to drive and park.

The minivan is a good choice for those with space issues. However, the inside will need to be renovated to accommodate a wheelchair. The floor will need to be lowered and this can be expensive. Either option provides a choice between side or rear loading and unloading. Once a lift is installed, the van entrance cannot be changed.

Handicapped drivers can get in and out of the vehicle themselves when using handicap accessible vans. The wheelchair lift allows for easy access for both the driver and the wheelchair. The lift is easily operated, even by someone who is seated. Once inside the van the wheelchair must be able to maneuver to the proper position and is then locked into place for a safe and secure ride.

The wheelchair lift can be installed at either the rear or side door. The preference is up to you and the decision may be based on how easy it is to access the particular door. It's also important to be able to turn the wheelchair once it's inside, which isn't always easy.

Handicapped drivers can drive handicap accessible vans thanks to special user controls. The controls are installed to allow drivers to access the foot pedals of the gas and brake, using their hands instead. Professionally install all the features so that they are installed properly and according to the latest safety standards.
