Is there a manual ramp on a Northstar Van?
There is usually no manual option; if the van loses power, the ramp won’t operate unless there is a backup system or a hand crank. An in-floor ramp is roomier as it doesn’t block the doorway – it rests in a pocket under the floor.
Do you need a ramp in a minivan?
For those with disabilities, wheelchair minivans offer either a ramp or lift to get the chair into its proper place. While the lift has its fans, the ramp has the edge in popularity due to its price and convenience. Ramps can be deployed manually or electronically from a passenger side door.
What kind of Van has an in floor ramp?
Mobility vans with VMI’s Northstar Access360 conversion offer an in-floor ramp and the most headroom and interior space in the industry for maximum wheelchair maneuverability. All VMI Northstar conversions come with a patented, ultra-low, in-floor power ramp that allows for safe entry and exit for even the largest power chairs.
Can a ramp be deployed from the passenger side?
Ramps can be deployed manually or electronically from a passenger side door. They can be a fold-out or in-floor style. (In-floor ramps slide in and out from beneath the floor.) Each has its drawbacks and advantages, so weigh the options against your situation.
