Ramp Van
November 12, 2007
Complaining about long commutes and heavy traffic is part of normal conversation at the office or over dinner. Traveling from one place to the next isn't always easy, but for most people, they simply take transportation for granted. However, those that are confined to a wheelchair because of a disability are faced with a far greater challenge. Although public transportation is an option, not all communities offer this and if they do, they do not always have the right equipment. Taxicab services are not an option because they are not equipped to serve the wheelchair bound. Fortunately, there are a few services that have a handicap taxi; however, the services are often costly because it is a specialized service.
To constantly rely on someone else for transportation is tiring, stressful, and humbling. Your life style is balanced between the pages of someone else's schedule, which means your life is really not your own. The frustration is debilitating, especially when an emergency arises. Not only is scheduling a major conflict, but attempting to find someone that owns a ramp van or knows how to transport a disabled person is nearly impossible.
As a disabled person, your options are limited. You can either purchase a mobility van suited to fit your handicap or you can take your existing vehicle and attempt to have it converted. AMS Vans wants to make sure that you find the best solution to fit your needs. At AMS, they can make sure that you receive a top quality and safe conversion to your van or we can help you find and purchase a ramp van that suits your needs and your budget. They want to remove any limits on your freedom of mobility and get you on the road today.
AMS Vans has a terrific selection of new and used handicap vans. They are reliable ramp vans that are still in excellent condition. Some of their used vehicles are still under factory warranty and all modifications to the vans are brand new, which means you don't have to worry about the vulnerability of the equipment. As you get ready to purchase a handicap vehicle, you have several options available to you. AMS offers several different colors and option configurations for the van that you choose.
If you already own a mini van, Adaptive Mobility Systems can fully convert a variety of vans. All ramp van conversions that they complete meet the US and Canadian Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS/FMVSS). Not only that, but all conversions offer capacity for one or two wheelchairs and construction on the ramps is created with rigid tubular steel and is made of grade 8 bolts. They also rust proof the ramp so that you know it remains safe.
