The Best Handicap Van Models to Buy

Article Category: Medical Business

Author Name: Bob Lundin

Buying a used handicap van can be challenging because there are so many models available, this makes finding the one best suited for your needs difficult. Here are some questions you have to ask when searching for a wheelchair van:

Is the height inside the vehicle enough to accommodate the disabled person and their wheelchair?

Are there tie-down points available so you can fasten down the wheelchair to prevent it from rolling around inside the van?

Can the front seat be removed to allow the handicapped person to have more room?

If the disabled person will be driving the van, does it have handicap-friendly features such as automatic transmission, power door and window locks and larger control buttons?

The most popular vehicles for handicap conversion are mini-vans since they are easier to enter and exit from. If you are on the market for a used handicap van, here are some of the best models to consider:

The Dodge Grand Caravan is the most cost-effective wheelchair van on the market. It has standard features such as dual sliding doors that make it ideal for conversion to a wheelchair van. To convert the van, the floor and one of the side doors is brought down by ten inches to accommodate a wheelchair ramp and the rear suspension is replaced with multi-leaf rear springs. Tie-down and anchor points are also added, along with non-slip flooring, to secure the wheelchair.

The Chrysler Town and Country is on the opposite end of the price spectrum from the Dodge Caravan, since it is one of the more pricey used handicap van models, but is also one of the most luxurious ones. Like the Caravan, the Town and Country has a low clearance that allows it to be modified easily for either side or rear entry. The van also allows the wheelchair lift to be deployed from a distance, so that the disabled person can enter the van without delay. The front seat is also removable so the passenger or driver area can accommodate a wheelchair.

The Honda Odyssey has not typically been that popular a choice among buyers but has started to catch up in recent years. Its low clearance makes it another good choice for modification, and the height of the converted van is a comfortable 56 inches. If the disabled person will enter through the rear of the van, the exhaust system can be personalized. Other safety features such as airbags, a shoulder harness seat belt and non-skid floor covering, are also available.

The Toyota Sienna is another popular choice for buyers of a used handicap van, since from its launching Toyota has worked to make the Sienna modifiable for low-floor wheelchair conversions. It can be converted for both rear-entry and side-entry, as well as having detachable front seats and an interior height at the center of the van of 56" to 59" (depending on the particular make) and 56" to 57" at the driver and passenger area. In addition, the Sienna is very fuel-efficient, saving you money on its operation.
