WHAT IS A WHEELCHAIR TRUCK CONVERSION?<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]There are generally two ways to convert a truck to offer easier access to wheelchair users. The first way to modify a truck to be wheelchair-accessible is by adding a swivel seat, like the <\/span>Braun Turny Seat<\/span><\/a>, in the driver\u2019s seat position as well as a lift, such as <\/span>AccessATop<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> that can store your wheelchair in your truck bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second way to make a pickup truck wheelchair accessible is by modifying the truck such that the driver\u2019s side is able to slide out, lower down, and pick both you and your wheelchair up before moving you back into the driver\u2019s position. This type of modification is more complex but may be a better fit for wheelchair users who don\u2019t want to transfer out of their chairs every time they wish to drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many trucks, GM, Ford, Dodge, and Toyota pickups, to name a few, are capable of being converted for your wheelchair. The customization and adaptability of truck conversions are what make the conversion process so versatile and especially suited to meet your specific needs.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”inner_content_section” css=”.vc_custom_1689235698724{padding-top: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;background-color: #ebebeb !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/IOCZEQF2r0s” align=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

CHOOSING THE RIGHT WHEELCHAIR TRUCK CONVERSION<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”inner_content_section” css=”.vc_custom_1689235367774{padding-top: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]With all of the different ways to convert a truck to be wheelchair accessible, it’s important for you to pick the right one to fit your needs. Each conversion is different for each user. For some, a lift may be easier to use, while others may prefer to transfer into a car seat and take their wheelchair wherever they go. The most important thing to consider, however, is what kind of wheelchair you\u2019ll be using with your pickup truck conversion. Factors like wheelchair size, shape, and weight play a big role in determining which accessible truck conversion is right for you.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2866″ img_size=”FULL”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”inner_content_section” css=”.vc_custom_1689235754241{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;background-color: #ebebeb !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

BENEFITS OF WHEELCHAIR TRUCK CONVERSION<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]There are many benefits of converting your truck for wheelchair accessibility. For example, the ability to use the lift on your own to get in and out of your truck offers a much greater sense of independence. With this freedom, you can enjoy taking long trips on your own since you know you\u2019ll have your own reliable and flexible transportation to get you and your mobility device to your destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trucks are often more durable than vans, which can be important for people who need a vehicle that can withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. Trucks also typically have more towing capacity than vans, which can be helpful for people who need to tow a trailer or boat. A truck’s versatility also means it can be used for both personal and work purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n

With an accessible truck, you can do something as simple as meeting up with friends for a coffee, or you can take advantage of its off-road capabilities by taking it out to explore the wilderness. A wheelchair truck conversion can bring you one step closer to the activities you want to do, when you want to do them and offer a new sense of independence.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”inner_content_section” css=”.vc_custom_1689236953050{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
