Vehicle conversion for the disabled - what is important?


The major challenge when it comes to "vehicle conversions for the disabled" is certainly that these are usually very individual adaptations that can only be used for this one person and no other. Apart from wheelchair cabs, which are less customized, as only one or more wheelchairs need to be anchored in them and a ramp or an electric wheelchair loading system enables access, fitting out a car for people with disabilities as self-drivers is much more complex and often more expensive. As every physical limitation is individual, a vehicle conversion for the disabled can only ever be very specific and individual.

For example, it may be necessary to significantly shorten the distance to the pedals when converting a vehicle for the disabled, and the function of the pedals must be transferred to specially mounted levers. For example, a lifting device may be required in the trunk for the multifunctional wheelchair, or a driver's seat that can be extended outwards to allow access. Perhaps additional mirrors or individual steering aids are required. The uniqueness of the conversions means that a vehicle conversion for the disabled is associated with quite a few costs, as no standard products can reduce the costs. Nevertheless, this costly measure is worth it when you consider the great benefits for an independent and self-determined life for those affected.

Vehicle conversions for the disabled require a great deal of care and experience, for example in the design of electronic or mechanical hand controls and entry and exit aids.
Norrenbrock Technik has this experience and care and will take care of you if you need a vehicle conversion for the disabled.
