One of the items necessary for true mobility in today’s world is a van adapted for wheelchair accessibility. MobilityWorks.com is one of several companies online that provides both new and used Ford wheelchair vans . They also provide personal modifications in the van you already own if you prefer.
MobilityWorks on-site service teams discuss with you what your needs are in order to understand and fulfill your specific mobility needs. They will then review the various accessibility options, which can be added to your van to best meet your needs.
One of the simpler modifications is to lower the floor of the cargo or minivan to accommodate wheelchair passengers. This allows for extra clearance to permit a person to remain in their wheelchair while driving. Additional modifications to the driving equipment may also be needed to enable the wheelchair-bound person to drive, including pedal extensions, hand controls, brake pedal guards and even high tech electronic steering options. A trained team will help you decide what will best support you and install your adaptive gear.
They use Sure-Lok Wheelchair Restraints, EZ Lock Wheelchair Docking Systems and Q’Straint to secure the wheelchair in the van. These effectively keep the wheelchair from moving when the van is in motion.
The Braun Under Vehicle Lift (UVL) is usually installed in a full sized cargo van (like the Ford E150.) They can be installed as rear or side entry lifts, and they provide safe and efficient entry into the vehicle.
Although the majority of mobility supply providers include the wheelchair, scooter, ramp, etc., MobilityWorks specializes in making the vehicles to transport your vehicle from where you are to where you need or want to be.
