Show All ItemsStep 1: Step 1: Calculating the ramp lengthShow All Items"ADA recommends a 3:12 slope which means for every 3" of vertical rise you are required to have at least one foot of ramp (14.5 degrees incline) Measure the vertical rise from the ground to where the ramp will sit on the vehicle, stairs or threshold. Take that measurement (inches) and divide it by 3. This will determine the length of ramp needed for an unoccupied power chair." /articles/correct-wheelchair-ramp-length.htm This measurement is based on ramp for an unoccupied wheelchair. For a ramp with the occupant in the wheelchair, a 2/12 slope is recommended. From a personal standpoint, ADA recommendations are usually based upon statistical averages. The ramp should be long enough that the person in the wheelchair can comfortably ascend and descend the slope keeping in mind the degree of ascent the wheelchair is capable of and the braking ability of the particular wheelchair. The incline should not be so steep as to make stopping on the slope impossible.«

Used American car buyers hold onto their vehicles for an average of 5.3 years, and once upgrade time rolls around, our customers often ask us how much their used wheelchair van is worth. Unlike an average consumer car, evaluating handicap vans is tricky. The evaluation must be done in-person because there is no mobility equipment version of Kelly Blue Book or Edmunds to guide us. Instead, we rely on tried and true evaluation measurements and then compare the results against the current marketplace. Because resale or trade-in value varies so heavily, we won’t be performing any estimate magic in this post. Instead, we’re diving into how savvy owners can protect their wheelchair van’s value—whether you’re selling to a mobility dealer like VMI or private party—and tips for who to contact in each step. Maintaining a wheelchair van is very similar to proper maintenance of a normal van or car, but with a few caveats. The biggest factors are: Taking care of your van’s exterior only requires standard car care.
Doing the following keeps your van looking great: Maintaining your wheelchair van’s interior follows many of the same tasks, which is great because you can tackle both for a cleaning day. Do the following to keep your van’s interior looking excellent: Making sure your wheelchair accessible van is in excellent mechanical condition is trickier and more expensive than maintenance costs on a normal vehicle. However, those challenges and costs can be offset by taking your van to a mobility dealer. Most mobility dealers, such as dealers in VMI’s network, have a team of highly-trained mechanics who specialize in handicap van conversions and maintenance, and they can perform the proper maintenance at lower costs than a neighborhood mechanic. Depending on how heavily you use the van and its handicap ramp or lift, you’ll want to schedule maintenance and a tune-up about every four to six months. It’s particularly important to get a full inspection before winter starts to ensure your sliding door, ramp and kneel systems function optimally.
Otherwise, your van’s mechanical condition depends largely on how you drive. Here are a few driving tips to keep in mind to prolong the life of your van: If you’re performing maintenance on a regular schedule, then it’s a good idea to also save your receipts to show future buyers that the vehicle has been well maintained. As we mentioned earlier, the value of your wheelchair van depends on the marketplace. To get the best idea of what similar wheelchair vans are being sold for, visit or call your local VMI dealer. Your dealer can estimate the value of the wheelchair van because their business is based around selling wheelchair vans. They are your best resource for an accurate evaluation. As a bonus, the local dealer may also be interested in buying your wheelchair van. Because the handicap van is such a small market, it’s often much easier to sell to a local dealer than to a private party. If you’re simply upgrading to a new wheelchair van or converting a used van with less than 30,000 miles, then trading your van to the dealer or working with them to get a conversion usually makes the most sense.
