VMI Northstar Handicap Van Conversion
Safe, Reliable Wheelchair Transportation
With over 15,000 VMI Northstar handicap van conversions on the road in the US today, it has become one of the most popular and reliable handicap accessible van conversions around. Why is this VMI handicap conversion van so popular? There are a lot of reasons, but the most prominent is an in-floor handicap ramp which leaves an open doorway for ambulatory passenger to enter and exit the minivan without deploying the ramp every time. In short, it is one of the most user friendly handicap accessible vehicles available.
Features of VMI Northstar Handicap Vans
- Power In Floor Handicap Ramp – Leaves an open doorway for non-wheelchair using passengers to enter and exit the vehicle. It also provides a lower ramp angle, making it easier to enter and exit the vehicle.
- Power Kneel – A mechanism actually lowers the suspension of the accessible vehicle closer to the ground, reducing the ramp angle even more.
- Removable Front Seats – A handicapped individual can choose to ride in the front passenger position or even drive (with the aid of hand controls or other driving aids)
- Remote Control Activation – With the touch of a button on the keychain remote, the door opens and ramp deploys so your van is ready and waiting when you get to it.
- Lowered Floor – One of the most important features on any handicap accessible minivan, this feature means enough headroom to ride comfortably and a more natural line of sight through the windows.
