Types of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles
Side-Entry Wheelchair Vans
Side-entry wheelchair vans are equipped with a ramp or lift on the passenger side, allowing entry through the sliding door. This design provides considerable flexibility for interior seating, making it well suited for wheelchair users who also drive or who alternate between seated positions. In Winnipeg’s urban landscape, curbside access is a notable advantage.
Rear-Entry Wheelchair Vans
Rear-entry wheelchair vans offer a ramp or lift at the rear of the vehicle, providing a wide and straightforward loading area. This configuration is frequently chosen for passenger-focused transportation and works well when accommodating larger powered wheelchairs. The generous rear clearance available in Manitoba’s suburban and rural parking environments makes this entry type especially convenient.
