Wheelchair Accessible Conversions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wheelchair accessible conversion vehicle styles we always have in stock are side entry wheelchair accessible vehicles and rear entry wheelchair accessible vehicles. We always try to have both in-floor accessible ramps and fold-out accessible ramps. Wheelchair accessible vans with lifts may also be available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side Entry Ramp<\/strong>
At the risk of stating the obvious, the side entry ramp deploys from the side of the van rather than the back. The side entry ramp is deployed after the power-operated door on the side of the van slides open. Ramps can be automatically activated or manually opened and closed. For maximum safety, a power ramp should have a manual override in case of a power failure. All AMS side entry ramps are automated, with a manual override, and operation by remote control or controls inside and outside the door.

A side ramp can present a problem if you park in a two-car garage or in a non-handicap-accessible parking space, because you won\u2019t have enough room to deploy the ramp properly. That said, they work beautifully in handicap parking spaces and won\u2019t require you to open the ramp into oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rear Entry Ramps<\/strong>
Usually less costly than a side ramp conversion, the rear entry ramp wheelchair van deploys from the back of the van and is typically better suited for the wheelchair user who prefers to sit in the middle or back of the vehicle. Manual operation is the standard for rear entry ramps, which accounts for the lower cost, but automated rear entry ramps are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long-channel rear entry ramps can accommodate two wheelchair users in a minivan. Rear entry ramps can be hazardous in some parking situations if you have to deploy the ramp into a lane of traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
