Disability vehicle adaptations
There are many ways GM Adapt carries out our vehicle adaptations for disabled drivers to make your life easier. These include solutions to make it easier for you to drive your car or for the passenger to get in and out of the car through an array of car adaptations for disabled drivers. If your passenger or driver is a wheelchair user, we can advise on the best disabled vehicle adaptations for your vehicle. Should you need to travel in your vehicle, we can suggest the best solution for wheelchair access and securing your wheelchair in transit.

Access
As experts in wheelchair access, we offer a broad range of solutions via our disability vehicle adaptations, including tail lifts, both manual and powered ramps, electric underfloor and inboard passenger lifts. GM Adapt also offer automated remote-controlled tailgate and ramp solutions which work off a simple key fob. With our years of experience leave it to us to come up with the best disabled vehicle adaptations for you.
Driving controls include primary and secondary controls; primary controls operate the braking and accelerating functions of your car. There is a wide range to choose from including accelerator rings which fit onto your steering wheel, hand controls and floor mounted and lever controlled braking systems. Secondary controls operate functions such as steering balls and devices to operate the indicators and wipers. For all driving control disability vehicle adaptations, give us a call today.
When it comes to seating, we offer a number of seating solutions to help passengers with restricted mobility to get seated and comfortable in the vehicle. This could be for a driver to transfer from their wheelchair into the driver’s seat or for a passenger to get in and out of the car. Other options include motorized seats that turn out of the vehicle, seats fitted with a swivel base and powered driver seats that move up and down, in and out and turn through 120 degrees to facilitate a driver transferring from their wheelchair.
Wheelchair restraints keep the wheelchair occupant safe and secure when the vehicle is in motion. We have a number of restraints for all weights of wheelchairs as well as lock downs for power chairs. These can be fitted to any new or used vehicle. GM also offers a number of winches which offer powered assistance to help the carer with boarding wheelchair occupants into the vehicle.
GM Adapt offers a wide range of wheelchair and mobility scooter hoists capable of safely lifting from 80kg up to 200kg. The size of your vehicle’s boot and its access area will determine the number of options for your wheelchair or mobility scooter hoist. Speak to us first so we can recommend the most suitable hoists for your disability vehicle adaptations. We also offer the Person Lift by BAS which, as the name suggests, is a hoist designed to help lift a person from their wheelchair into the front passenger seat.
Designed by GM this unique device is designed to keep scooters safely secured in a vehicle when in transit. The arm lowers down and stops the scooter from moving about. This is the version specific to car sized vehicles.
