Vehicle Modification.

Any Vehicle · Any Brand · Bought Anywhere

We modify the vehicle you already own

You do not have to buy a van from us. If you have a car, truck, SUV or minivan and something has changed — your strength, your reach, your balance, or the chair you use — there is usually a way to keep you driving or riding in it.

Most of this equipment is fitted to your specific vehicle, so what suits you depends on the vehicle, the door opening and how you transfer. Everything below is installed and serviced by our own technicians.

We do not put prices on this page. Every one of these is a fitting job, not a shelf item — the vehicle decides the cost. Call and we will quote it straight.

For Drivers

Adaptive Driving Controls

If you can no longer work the pedals, reach the wheel, or use one side of your body the way you used to, these are the pieces that put the car back within reach. Most people have never seen any of them up close.

Which of these suits you depends on your strength, your reach and the vehicle you drive. Call and describe how you drive now.

Getting In And Out

Transfer Seats

A transfer seat does the hard part of getting in. The seat itself comes out to meet you — it swings out of the door frame and lowers, so you sit down outside the vehicle and ride in rather than climbing up into it.

Which one fits depends on your vehicle and your door opening. Call and we will tell you straight — sometimes the answer is that none of them fit the car you have.

Full-Size Vans & RVs

Wheelchair Lifts for Vans

These lift a person, sitting in their chair, into the vehicle. That is different from the vehicle lifts and carriers elsewhere on this site, which load an empty scooter or power chair for storage. If you need to ride in your chair, this is the section you want.

We install, service and replace these, including commercial installations. If you already have one and it is getting tired, we service it whoever fitted it.

Riding Safely

Securement & Docking

Two different jobs, and people mix them up constantly:

• A docking system locks your chair to a base in the floor. You drive on, it locks, you release it yourself. This is what you want if you drive from your chair or want to secure yourself without help.
• Retractable tie-downs strap the chair down at four points. Someone else does the strapping. Cheaper, and standard in most vehicles that carry passengers.

We also fit restraints for an empty chair travelling in the vehicle, and we inspect and service securement systems that are already fitted.

Stowing The Chair

Loading Assists

For when you transfer into the vehicle yourself but the chair still has to get in.

What To Expect

How a modification works

1. Tell us what changed

   Your body, your vehicle, or both. Call or come in. It helps if we know what you drive and how you get into it now.

2. We check it against your vehicle

   Not everything fits every car. We check the make, model and door opening before we quote, so nobody finds out after the fact.

3. A written quote

   Equipment and fitting, in writing, before we touch the vehicle.

4. We fit it here

   Installed at our Lakeland shop by our own technicians, who are certified on the products we carry.

5. We show you how to use it

   You do not leave until you have worked it yourself and it makes sense.

How long it takes: It depends on the equipment and whether it has to be ordered. Call and we will give you a straight answer.

Already have adaptive equipment fitted? We service and repair it whoever installed it — see Van Service & Repair.
