Buying a handicap van may be necessary, yet it can be a big expense.  Transportation options for those in wheelchairs are limited.  Sometimes the only way to get around is to be driven in a handicap vehicle.  Handicap vans are specially modified to allow for ease and safety of mobility. 

Handicap vans for sale can be found in various places.  Look online to find the best offers for used handicap vans for sale. Choosing a used van is often much easier, and less expensive, than purchasing a brand new van that needs to be converted to a handicap van. Used handicap vans often come with all the essential options that you’ll need when transporting someone in a wheelchair.

Used handicap vans for sale are usually offered at good savings.  The demand for these types of vehicles is usually not that high, so they can often be found at a great price.  Consider shopping online for vans that are already set up for disabled transportation. Look for vans with low mileage and plenty of features. 

When purchasing a handicap van be that it has all the features that you need.  For example, you’ll likely need to have a wheelchair lift.  This may be installed on the van.  If not, however, you can get one installed.  There are two types of lifts.  One type lifts the wheelchair while it’s occupied and one type lifts the wheelchair while it’s not occupied.  If you’re not sure which type of lift is installed you’ll need to ask.

If there are any special features added to the van you’ll need to know how to operate them.  Make sure that you receive any operation manuals that explain how to work the options in the van.  Not all features work the same way in handicap vans.  When possible, ask for a demonstration so you’ll be certain the features work properly.

When looking for handicap vans for sale consider all your options.  You can choose a used van or minivan and convert it for use as a handicap van.  The most important feature that you may need to add is the wheelchair lift.  This can be installed on either the rear or side door.  You’ll also need to have special devices that lock the wheelchair in place while the vehicle is moving.  You may need special seating for those who are disabled, if they will not be sitting in their wheelchair during transport.
