What's the big deal about handicap vans?  Are they really that much different? Do I really need a handicap van?  These are common questions first time buyers ask, and if we weren't experts at producing the highest quality handicap accessible vans out there, we'd probably ask the same things.

The idea behind a handicap van is simple enough.  A Handicap Accessible Van is a factory made vehicle, that is specifically redesigned to accommodate a person with disabilities.  The process is more involving than one might think.  There is so much more to the process than simply bolting on a ramp and switching out a seat or two.  At Rollx Vans we alter the entire function of the van itself, creating a vehicle fully designed to meet the needs of a customer.

Because Everyone's Needs are Different

Handicap vans can vary quite a bit.  For starters, there are tow main types of handicap accessible vans, they are minivans and full-size vans.  A minivan will generally feature remote sliding doors and an automatic side-entry ramp.  Since minivans are shorter, the floor is lowered and various parts of the undercarriage are redirected. The minivan models are typically more popular, and much more user friendly. 

Fully-Size vans require a lift and provide a bit more room to move about.  Full-size vans also come with more optional choices, allowing for greater customization.  Both types of handicap vans provide a number wheelchair securement options includingmanual tie-downs, retractable tie-downs, and power tie-downs.

A Safer Ride

The changes made to handicap vans aren't simply aesthetic, although we do think our vans are quite pretty.  The suspension is altered and reinforced to compensate for the added weight of the wheelchair, the ramps, and the lifts.  Each vehicle as a whole must pass a special list of engineering requirements before we deem it road worthy.  These requirements are much stricter than those of a typical vehicle inspection.

On top of that, there is the crash testing.  Each van meets the highest standards.  All of this is done to make sure Rollx Vans aren't simply accessible, but that they are also as safe as possible.

At Rollx Vans, we believe it's important to know that our customers are getting more than just a van.  They're getting a product that was built and engineered specifically for them, and they are reciveing the freedom and mobility that owning a wheelchair van can provide.
