Wheelchair Friendly Cars

Wheelchair Friendly Cars

Either a ramp or a lift allows the wheelchair and user, to enter the vehicle easily. Ramps normally fold down from the rear of the vehicle. As these wheelchair friendly cars usually have lowered floors the slope of the ramp is not more than 15-degrees. Most people can propel themselves up the ramp and into the vehicle unaided. If you are unable to, you might want to install a winch or rely on a helping hand. Some wheelchair friendly cars have a lift instead of a ramp. These require less operational space behind the vehicle than ramps. However, they are more expensive and require regular maintenance.

Inside the vehicle, the wheelchair needs to be secured using a simple docking system. Normally, the wheelchair stays in the rear part of the vehicle, although in some wheelchair friendly cars it is possible to move through into the front seat position.

Wheelchair friendly cars come in different sizes to suit your needs. A compact vehicle that can accommodate one wheelchair and two passengers in the front is ideal for use about town as it is economical and easy to park. Larger vehicles can accommodate more passengers and some have room for multiple wheelchairs. These are ideal for family holidays or for longer trips. When deciding on the size of wheelchair friendly car you need remember to consider where you will park or garage it.
