Measure Your Wheelchair to fit your Mobility Access Adaptive Van or Vehicle
It is important to measure your wheelchair as well as the person who will be using it when planning to install a wheel chair ramp in your mobility access adaptive van or vehicle. As you know, both wheel chairs and people come in all different sizes. By measuring the specifications of both the wheelchair and user, you are completing a crucial step in the buying process to ensure your wheelchair will easily access your vehicle.
To take the required measurements, we recommend the following steps:
- Measure the height from the top of the person’s head when sitting in the wheelchair to the ground.
- Measure the height from eye level of the person sitting in the wheel chair to the ground.
- Measure the width of the wheelchair from outside of the wheelchair’s hubs.
- Measure the length of the wheelchair from the back of the rear wheels to the tip of the person’s toes when sitting in the wheelchair.
