Wheelchair Access Cars Sunderland Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles Sunderland (WAVs) are vehicles that have been modified so that a wheelchair user can access it to either drive it from their wheelchair or travel as a passenger. There are a lot of vans that you can have a specialist firm convert them to WAVs. However, not all vehicles can be converted and be effective in carrying a wheelchair passenger. Ensure that you chose an appropriate car for conversion or the better route may be to buy a used already adapted vehicle.. Many people wonder what happens in this conversion process. Well, in the conversion, the vehicles are modified by being fitted with features like lifts on larger cars or ramp on standard cars, seatbelts and wheelchair tie-downs to help a wheelchair user access the WAV with ease and secure them to their seats while travelling. Currently, there are two kinds of wheelchair cars Sunderland that you can purchase. One is the WAV that a wheelchair user can drive while still seated in their wheelchair.
This particular accessible vehicle is quite expensive to make and it can accommodate less passengers since the wheelchair being the driver’s seat will need more space for access. The cost will be high due to the fact that the vehicle will need to be fitted with custom controls so as to make the wheelchair user drive more independently. The other type of WAV is the one that has been converted to carry a wheelchair passenger. Passenger’s wheelchair access vehicles Sunderland, as they are commonly referred to as, are the mostly used WAVs in the market. They are a bit cheaper than the former WAVs making them economical. These WAVs’ passenger capacity is more or less like that of a standard vehicle. They are usually fitted with lifts or ramp to give a wheelchair user an easy access to the vehicle.

Depending on the model you select and the firm that does the conversion, WAVs will either have a high roof or a lowered floor to allow a wheelchair user to get into the vehicle and still have some space to seat comfortably in their wheelchair. You should know that both the conversions discussed earlier have their positive and negative aspects. As we said earlier majority of the conversions are passengers wheelchair accessible vehicles due to the fact they are economical as they can be used by other people.
