Vehicle Conversions That Make The Transportation Of 2 Wheelchairs Possible

There are a number of reasons why you may be interested in vans that allow you to transport to wheelchair-bound passengers at the same time – perhaps you work for a taxi company and are looking to update your vehicle, or perhaps there are two members of your family who have mobility issues. For whatever reason, there are a number of vehicle conversions that will make this possible:

• In vehicles where both wheelchair-bound passengers will be travelling in the back, both entry points (the side and rear doors) may be fitted with a ramp or lift to make getting disabled passengers easier. The van may also feature seating for able-bodied passengers in between. 
•  In vans where one wheelchair-bound passenger will be sitting in the front (either driving or as the passenger) and the other will be sitting in the back, the side door may be fitted with a ramp or lift vehicle conversion, allowing each passenger to sit one behind the other. 
•  In vehicles where two wheelchairs can be comfortably accommodated, the floor will need to feature four wheel anti-lock brakes so that the passengers can be locked into place before travel commences. This will prevent the chairs from rolling around during transportation.

As you can see, there are a number of vehicle conversions that can make it possible for two wheelchairs to be transported at the same time. In most cases, deciding on where these passengers will be seated for the duration of travel (either in the front or back seat) will determine what sort of conversions you require to accommodate them comfortably.
