Positioning and Securing the Wheelchair
FREEDOM VAN wheelchair vehicle conversions are built around the wheelchair access & passenger with the driver / partner / carer in mind for the simplest of operations. Wheelchair access, entry and exit on the gently sloping wheelchair ramp from the vehicle is quick and effortless. Securing the wheelchair passenger inside the vehicle is given the highest priority for safety, whilst ensuring maximum visibility. The wheelchair user is positioned low down and centrally in the wheelchair access vehicles, which ensures a smooth, comfortable ride as well as making it easier to talk to fellow passengers.
Parking of our Disabled Vehicles
One of the most distinctive features of the FREEDOM VAN is its rear wheelchair ramp access. This allows you to park in any parking spot, regardless of clearance on the sides. Unlike side-entry wheelchair access vehicle conversions, we designed our wheelchair conversions so you can never get blocked by somebody parking too close beside you. FREEDOM VAN gives you total wheelchair access freedom.
Wheelchair Vehicles Safety
From a safety standpoint, we made the FREEDOM VAN even stronger than before, with a structural tubular safety cage surrounding the converted wheelchair access lowered floor and is on the forefront of automotive adaptive equipment design.
Warranty
The warranty for the wheelchair access vehicle conversions is covered by a THREE YEAR / 60,000km hassle free warranty. When you purchase disabled vehicles from FMA, you can be assured that we will look after you, even after the warranty has finished.
Professional advice
The most important step towards finding the right wheelchair access & mobility solution is to get the proper advice first before making any decisions regarding the purchase of wheelchair access vehicles. (Car dealers are the last persons to advice you on your mobility needs, disabled vehicles, wheelchair access & wheelchair ramps). The first person to consult and to obtain input from is your professional Therapist. Another important matter is the type and size of wheelchair you will be using to travel around. If you are planning to drive, a professional driving instructor must be consulted. Once you have the information these professionals can provide, then you are ready to contact Freedom Motors Australia to discuss your vehicle conversions, wheelchair ramp & wheelchair access needs.
