Wheelchair Accessible Ramp Vans

When choosing the perfect mobility vehicle from Van Products, it’s important to consider the type of ramp that best suits your lifestyle and necessities. At Van Products we are proud to provide a wide range of wheelchair accessible ramp vans for you to choose from.

Types of Wheelchair Accessible Ramp Vans

There are two types of wheelchair accessible ramp vans that can be automatic or manual:

  • Side Entry Wheelchair Ramp

  • Rear Entry Wheelchair Ramp

Each type of van will offer different ramp options to fit different needs. Take a look below and choose the best one for you.

Side Entry Wheelchair Ramp

Side entry wheelchair ramps allow the user to enter and exit the vehicle through the side doors. This provides extra space for maneuvering, while freeing up space in the rear of the van for storage or additional passengers.

With a side entry wheelchair ramp, users can easily access the passenger or driver’s side of the vehicle without much assistance.

Rear Entry Wheelchair Ramp

Rear entry wheelchair ramps are located at the back of the vehicle, allowing easy entry and exits from almost any parking space.

A rear entry ramp may be a more budget-friendly option, as it is less expensive to convert. They also have plenty of ground clearance and often can fit more than one wheelchair user.

Fold-Out vs In-Floor

Wheelchair accessible ramp vans are also available with fold-out or in-floor ramps. If you’re having trouble deciding which will work best, you can speak to a mobility specialist to get a more detailed rundown.

Fold-Out Ramps

Being the most common type of ramp, the fold-out ramp has the option of being manually or automatic depending on the brand. Fold-out ramps can be folded and easily stowed upright by your vehicle’s passenger door.

In-Floor Ramps

An in-floor ramp is stored under the van below the cabin. This means it will be out of the way entirely once it’s stowed, offering smooth vehicle entries and exits for all passengers.
