Adapting Your Vehicle for Wheelchair Accessibility

Posted on August 7, 2013January 24, 2018 by Andon

After weeks of conducting your research, going for a test drive, and speaking with service professionals, you finally made a decision regarding a new eco-friendly vehicle.

Money is discussed and agreed upon, papers are signed, and the keys are handed over.

You’re done, right?

Not if the vehicle you just bought is unequipped for accessibility access.

One major task completed, one more to go.

Automobile Rebate Programs for Accessibility

For those unaware of where to begin, consider this: did you know that many automobile manufacturers offer mobility programs established to provide cash reimbursements for the installation of adaptive equipment in any new vehicle purchase or lease?  It’s true!

But first, what is adaptive and mobility equipment?

Adaptive devices are those that assist with daily living and whose design assists the user with being more independent.  Driving is an important part of our daily activities. Adaptive equipment for the vehicle assists in making the driver more independent. Adapting a vehicle for accessibility is a permanent change.  The following section is a list of the adaptive and mobility equipment sold by Handi-Ramp.

Handi-Ramp Specializes in Custom Van Ramps and Wheelchair Hitch Carriers

Handi-Ramp specializes in the custom van ramps where the ramp is attached at the back or side of the vehicle.  We also sell wheelchair hitch carriers that are attached to the back of the vehicle and allow you to transport a scooter.  This equipment is eligible for a reimbursement from automobile manufacturers.
