Minivan To Mobility Van

Wheelchair vans are mobility vehicles that have been modified in order to allow access by individuals who use wheelchairs every day. The usual modifications made on such vans are lowering the floor and adding a special ramp so that the chair can easily be rolled into the van.

Mobility vans come in several sizes and styles, from full size conversion vans to minivans and even sport utility vehicles.  They are regular vehicles that have been converted to make transporting wheelchairs and scooters easier on the disabled.  Many of them will come equipped with electric wheelchair and scooter lifts, as well as mobility accessories such as hand controls and seat transfers.
