Common Features in Handicapped Accessible Vehicles

Most wheelchair vans have the option of a ramp or a lift. Lifts are often used on the larger, full size vans, while you will find ramps available on many different minivans. Vehicles with just scooter lifts are available as well for those who do not use wheelchairs. Transfer seats are another common feature which help you get into and out of the driver's seat. You may also find some vehicles that have lowered floors or raised ceilings to offer more room and a widened entryway is also possible on some vehicles. Hand controls to drive the van are available in many cases as well, and this makes it easy for those with limited or no mobility to operate their vehicle.
