People with disabilities and on wheelchairs will need a greater degree of freedom because wheelchairs can only go so far. Even though most wheelchairs today have advanced features like electric motorized movement controlled with joysticks, when moving over a long distance vehicles are needed to transport both the wheelchairs and handicapped people. The commonest way to do this is get wheelchair vans. Wheelchair vans for the disabled are not new. They have been in use for a long term. Often, these are converted vans. In the conversion, the floors are lowered and the side frames of the vans can be recut (for side entry vans) or a lift and ramp deployed to bring in the wheelchair (for rear entry vans). However, mini vans are becoming quite popular. They are new and offer a few advantages over regular vans. Since they are smaller, mini vans are easy to drive in traffic and can easily find parking spaces. They are also fuel-efficient. Nevertheless, larger vans are roomier and are ideal if you are taking the van on a long trip or need more storage space. Both vans can be either side entry or rear entry vans. Side entry wheelchair vans are converted by cutting the frames of vans and replacing the floors with lowered ones which are more accessible by wheelchairs. The reduced angle of inclination gives the ramp a gentle slope that a wheelchair can easily climb. The new floor is made stronger than the old one and an anchoring system is installed to hold the wheelchair in place. The air conditioning and the heater lines may be cut and replaced when the converted van is being put together. With rear entry van, on the other hand, the fuel tank is repositioned from the back of the van. While the floor is also lowered the ground clearance is maintained and as a result rear entry vans are better for use in the snow or in mountainous regions. However, because the tank is repositioned, federal laws mandate that third-party highway crash testing be done to ascertain the safety of a rear entry van. Furthermore, with rear entry vans, there is no need for reserved handicap parking spaces. Therefore, you can choose any of the wheelchair vans as long as it is the one that totally meets your needs and the demand of your commute. All of them are designed for your safety and convenience.
