Wheelchair Vans and Lifts Boost Quality of Life
For those facing limited or nonexistent mobility, the quality of life enjoyed can suffer dramatically. However, this does not need to be the case. Modern mobility equipment can offer individuals with disabilities that chance to regain their lost freedom and boost their quality of life significantly. In particular, wheelchair vans and mobility lifts offer the chance to ride anywhere in comfort, without worrying about being limited by your wheelchair.
Wheelchair lifts offer a simple way to enter and exit a vehicle. There are many different styles on the market, and you’ll need to make sure that you choose one with a weight capacity that matches your needs. Different types of lifts have different weight limits, ranging all the way up to almost 700 lbs. so choose your lift carefully.
When it comes to wheelchair vans, you have a very wide range of options. You can choose from minivans, such as the Honda Odyssey and the Dodge Grand Caravan. You can also choose full size vans from manufacturers such as Ford. Minivans offer better maneuverability, but full size vans provide more interior room. Wheelchair lifts can be installed in both minivans and full size vans, but full size vans can rarely use a ramp. Minivans can also feature a power kneeling system that lowers the rear suspension of the van, making it simpler and easier to use a ramp instead of a lift.
No matter what type of solution you need, you’ll find that wheelchair vans can be outfitted with the equipment required to meet your needs. IMED Mobility provides customers with access to the best in mobility equipment, as well as the best service in the industry. Whether you want a minivan outfitted with a ramp or a full size van with a slide-away lift, you’ll find the perfect solution.
