Handicap Vans
For many years those confined to a wheelchair could find it difficult to nearly impossible to participate in simple daily events such as shopping or going on vacation with their families due to the difficulties involved in traveling. Modern handicapped vans make this previously dreaded task much simpler as they have been designed to make it easy for anyone who is in a wheelchair to get in and out of the vehicle. Now those who are wheelchair bound can enjoy being able to go anywhere with their families and in many cases drive themselves with a properly equipped van. Before the advent of handicap vans the only way a person in a wheelchair could go anywhere in a vehicle was to have at least one person with them who did not have a handicap. This person could help them slide from their wheelchair into the vehicle and then back again at the end of the journey.
The problem with this is that there may not always be someone available to handle the work, if the person was in a powered wheelchair or scooter this made the task that much more difficult. Additional problems came into play with having to find space to store a wheelchair or scooter, typically the trunk could be used leaving little to no space for shopping. If the person was using a scooter, the non - handicapped person had to be strong enough to lift it into and out of the trunk each time. Handicap vans eliminate these problems by allowing the handicapped person to remain in their wheelchair at all times. Modern handicap vans are designed to make it no more difficult for a handicapped person to get around than it is for someone who is not handicapped. You will find that there is an amazing array of sizes and styles available that can be custom tailored to suit your individual needs.
This includes full sized vans with built in electric - hydraulic lifts to minivans with lowered floors and ramps that are designed to allow the handicapped person to roll his wheelchair or scooter inside and buckle in for a safe ride. Minivans that have lowered floors are rapidly gaining popularity as handicap vans as they can be built to allow for more regular seats to be left in place for the rest of the family. The rear section of the floor is lowered to provide for the needed headroom and the center and front seats left in place. A slide out ramp is added for access and locks and seat belts added to provide safety for the person in the wheelchair or scooter.
