Auto Wheelchairs


For the disabled, everyday things like a trip to the grocery store can be a huge hassle and nearly impossible due to the difficulties of mobility when confined to a wheel chair. A auto Wheelchairs lift can change all of that and make travel a breeze. In a matter of seconds, an auto wheelchair lift can lift you into your van and have you ready to ride. The person driving the van will have several things to keep in mind while chauffeuring someone in a wheel chair. 

First of all, drive slowly and carefully. This should be true all of the time, but especially when driving a handicapped person. Though the van will have a way to lock the wheel chair into place, they still may not be completely stable. Depending on their particular wheel chair, they might not be completely comfortable either. Reckless driving will only make it worse for them. Also, depending on their handicap and health, they may be overly susceptible to injury and pain if they were to be involved in an accident

Automobile chair lifts are specifically equipped to be installed inside (this is for large vans) or outside your vehicle. These are relatively easy to operate that one person can do the entire process without exerting much effort.There are two mechanisms that lifts operate, which include the electrical chair lift and the hydraulic lift. In terms of the retail cost, electrical wheelchair lifts are reasonably less expensive than hydraulic wheelchair lifts. Although electricity shortage poses much inconvenience, electrical wheelchair lifts come with emergency back-up batteries to restore its function. Unlike its counterpart, hydraulic wheelchair lifts function through the hydraulic system that creates an even and fluid motion.
