Wheelchair Accessible Trucks

Those with mobility challenges now have more options than ever when it comes to personal modes of transportation. No longer are you just restricted to using wheelchair vans. Instead, wheelchair accessible trucks offer another viable means of independent travel.

Wheelchair accessible trucks offer an alternative to more traditional minivans, wheelchair vans or for drivers who require other types of wheelchair accessible vehicles. Available in full size GM trucks, disabled drivers and passengers can now experience the independence of traveling comfortably no matter where the road may take them.

Purchasing a Van Products Mobility SVM Truck

Purchasing a Mobility SVM truck for the first time? It is important to consider the weight capacity of your wheelchair lift. Mobility SVM wheelchair lifts are built to withstand 750 lbs. However, not all wheelchairs are built equally; therefore, it is also important to consider the type of wheelchair that you have and its dimensions.

Unsure whether your wheelchair will fit into a wheelchair accessible truck? Make sure that you speak to a qualified mobility specialist. He/she can better direct you in your search for the perfect wheelchair truck or conversion model to suit both your needs as well as your lifestyle.

Just like any other vehicle purchase, you need to consider your budget. Most truck purchases are available with some form of financial assistance. For instance, if you previously served in the military or are dealing with a personal situation, you may qualify for one of several funding/public assistance programs. As always, if you are unsure, ask a professional, and he/she will be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

Converting Your Truck to be Wheelchair Accessible

Frequently, people wonder whether their current truck will be able to convert into a wheelchair accessible truck. Always check with a qualified mobility specialist first as not all trucks will be able to convert.

Currently, the most popular truck conversions for disabled persons includes:

• Chevrolet Silverado
• GMC Sierra
• 1500 model
• 2500 model
• 4X4
• 2X4
• Crew
• Extended Cabs

3 Benefits of Owning a Wheelchair Accessible Truck

#1 – Better Handling in Inclement Weather

If you’ve ever been stuck in snow or mud, then you know how beneficial it can be to have a truck or SUV that has 4X4 capabilities to get you out of a jam. Having this feature only makes it that much easier for those with mobility issues to independently handle themselves in sticky situations.

#2 – More Power

While there are numerous benefits to be had with wheelchair vans, there is even more power with wheelchair accessible trucks. Depending on the wheelchair accessible truck that you select, you will often find that pickup trucks often have better handling capabilities as well. You’ll also find that wheelchair accessible trucks have better loading capacities and may be better equipped to handle a heavier lift weight.

#3 – Towing

If your lifestyle requires the occasional or more frequent use of being able to tow items, then opting for a wheelchair accessible truck is a no-brainer.
