Top 5 Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Modifications
1 minute read time
In this blog, we outline the top five most popular wheelchair accessible vehicle modifications for your wheelchair accessible vehicle. Let’s get started.
#1 Power Ramps and Tailgates
GM Coachwork offer a range of passenger lifts and ramp solutions which have the hassle out of setting up a manual ramp. With just the press of a button these ramps smoothly fold out or retract, making entry and exit even easier.
Explore our range of lifts, ramps and powered doors.
#2 Steering Ball
We also offer a wide range of secondary controls that help to overcome physical impairments to help you steer. A steering ball attaches to your steering wheel, making it easier to turn with just one hand. This is especially useful if you have limited mobility or you need to control other vehicle functions at the same time.
Explore our range of Secondary controls.
#3 Privacy Glass
Privacy glass is designed to reduce visibility from the outside while keeping your car’s interior cool and comfortable.
#4 Push and Pull Hand Controls
Primary hand controls allow drivers to operate the accelerator and brakes using their hands. Push and Pull hand controls replace the need for foot pedals. It’s simple, push forward to brake and pull back to accelerate. This setup gives you full control of the car using just your hands.
Explore our range of Primary Hand Controls.
#5 Tip and Fold Seats
GM Coachwork offer a wide selection of seat conversions that help passengers with restricted mobility to get seated in their wheelchair accessible vehicle. Tip and fold seats are great for carrying extra passengers, without impeding on space.
