Ramp and Lift Considerations for Wheelchair Users
Here I have provided answers to some of the most common wheelchair ramp related questions
* What are the types of wheelchair ramp that can be found today?
Wheelchair ramps are an essential accessibility aid to those who use wheelchairs. There are numerous types of wheelchair ramps available today. Here are just a few:
– Van Wheelchair Ramps: These are designed to enable wheelchair users to get into and out of vans and MPVs.
– Threshold Wheelchair Ramps: Used in entrances and exits where it is necessary to provide wheelchair access. These are commonly found in public buildings and shops where they are required to provide wheelchair access.
– Track Wheelchair Ramps: This type of ramp is designed to align with the tyres of a wheelchair.
– Portable Wheelchair Ramps: These are adapatable ramps, often telescopic, that can be used in a variety of situations where ramps are not in place.
* Are wheelchair ramps easily installed into homes?
The quick answer to this question is Yes! There are many wheelchair ramp designs available today making them suitable for a whole range of situations. You will probably be able to find a wheelchair ramp that meets your requirements and if not maybe a lift for wheelchairs would meet your needs.
* What are the relative benefits of wheelchair ramps vs. a wheelchair suitable lift?
Both wheelchair ramps and lifts can be used to aid accessibility. It must be remembered that both wheelchair ramps and lifts have maximum weight capacities. Always be sure that your ramps and lifts are strong enough for your needs.
* Which types of vehicles are best for wheelchair lifts?
There are many models of vans, minivans and MPVs (multi person vehicles) that are eminently suitable for adaptation with a lift for wheelchairs. There are specialist wheelchair accessible vehicle suppliers who will carry out professional adaptation of your chosen vehicle. It’s always worth talking to a garage experienced in carrying out vehicle adaptations for wheelchair access. Most will install the lift at the rear of the vehicle so that the lift folds away into the rear door space when not in use.
* Can I hire a vehicle adapted for wheelchair access?
Yes. Many vehicle hire firms now provide wheelchair adapted vehicles that are suitable for most wheelchair users. I suggest that you contact your local van and car hire providers.
I recommend that you equip your van with a pair of additioinal portable, telescopic wheelchair ramps which can be used to access places that don’t have ramps.
Its a good idea to look for a Motability converter partner who can use your motability allowance to provide you with a new vehicle.
