Wheelchair-Scooter Accessible Van Conversions
The AMS Vans Conversion: The basis to the whole conversion is a
newly manufactured, solid steel floorpan system of our design. The new floor is considerably
stronger than the original, and is 10" lower. With this new floor and lowered sliding door
intalled, you now have 53 full inches of door height.
We then install a fully powered
folding wheelchair ramp, allowing the individual to roll directly through the heightened doorway
and into the accessible ramp van.
The lowered floor continues all the way to the front firewall to allow
an individual in a wheelchair to park in either the front or center of the van without ever
having to leave their chair. Wheelchair tie downs are accessible in all positions.
Further enhancements include new, heavy duty rear leaf springs (custom
designed!), newly placed gas tank, new carpet, exhaust system, and color keyed body ground effects
complete the converted mini-van's transformation.
Our speciality is adding brand new wheelchair conversions to quality
pre-owned or used Chrysler Town & Country’s and Dodge Grand Caravan Minivans.
Our Specially Modified Van Conversion Is Compatible With:
Accessible Van & Vehicle Crash Testing
Our converted handicap vans have been fully tested to ensure compliance
with all federal regulations. This testing was conducted at one of the top rated testing
centers in the USA, the Transportation Research Center in East Liberty, Ohio. No one else in
the industy can provide you with a conversion as strong, simple and safe as the AMS Vans Conversion. If you're
looking to improve your mobility or the mobility of a loved one, look no further!
We have also been crash-test certified at PMG Technologies in Quebec.
We are proud to say that we are the ONLY lowered floor minivan manufacturer to be
fully certified in the USA and with Canadian Transport (Certification No. M68)
Handicap Mobility Technology & Safety
We realize new technologies continue to broaden the opportunities to enhance
the lives of those challenged to overcome limited mobility. That is why we take pride in
maintaining the latest technology established by our industry association,
NMEDA (National
Mobility Equipment Dealer’s Association). Not only are we NMEDA members in good standing,
which allows us to install just about any type of mobility equipment, but we are also in the
Quality Assurance Program (QAP), a deeper commitment within NMEDA, that requires semi-annual
independent inspections.
These inspections are done to assure quality practices in engineering,
welding, installation, training of employees, insurance, and record keeping and are conducted
by RADCO. Each conversion that we complete then receives a RADCO label that ensures each step
has been performed according to NMEDA guidelines and good practices. In fact, Adaptive Mobility
Systems, Inc. (AMS Vans), is the only lowered floor conversion company presently that builds
their vans under NMEDA QAP guidelines and are each labeled with the RADCO label. You might say
we’re the BEST OF THE BEST. Our commitment is to provide you with professional handicapped conversions and
installation of the mobility equipment necessary to facilitate active life-styles.
WE BELIEVE IN YOU!
