Travel Wheelchairs: Keep Your Eyes On The Prize

You've likely discovered that portable wheelchairs don't have to be a limitation. Life almost seems unbearable when it is so suddenly reduced and journeying to new places just seems like impossibility in the end. Ramps and lifts are fast becoming the answer many are searching for. Here are some suggestions you don't want to miss out on. For many the idea of living in a double storey apartment seems more of a nightmare, thankfully you no longer have to live with boundaries. 'Situation' no longer needs to be a word used in connection with freedom of mobility when using an electric wheelchair lift.

A stair lift is the most common for home use. The perfect niche to attach your very own wheelchair lift is on the wall of the stairway allowing you movement between levels. The great thing about these stair lifts is that they can be uninstalled if you no longer need the lift or wheelchair to get around. For auto travel there are several options for wheelchair lifts. When it co mes to vehicles there are two options, firstly attaching the lift to the rear bumper or having it installed so as to be able to fold into the vehicle. Fortunately there is nothing to be worried about as the driver. If you own a van lifts can be designed to fit specifically for those who are physically challenged and driver of the vehicle. Another solution to your problem may be a wheelchair ramp. Ramps come in many forms such as the modular wheelchair ramp guaranteed not to move and easily movable. Small steps, entry ways these often pose problems causing great difficulty however you need not worry with a threshold ramp. If you desire something other then a lift, track ramps can be used when it comes to stairwells and vehicles. Of course this is not your only option; there are many types of ramps that assist well for those keen automobile travelers. Tri-fold wheelchair ramps have been cleverly designed and built into the actual van allowing ease of access through the side. A simple capability is the ability to be folded both in and out of the vehicle. Hitch mounted ramps are mounted onto the hitch of a van or SUV and also fold up for easy use. Mobility is vital for many and certainly accomplished in a portable wheelchair. Even still a lift or ramp maybe need in certain situations.
