Wheelchair Transport

Air Suspension: Improving the accessibility of wheelchair vehicles

When transporting passengers, ensuring their journey is as comfortable and safe as possible is paramount. Passengers should always feel at ease and confident as they travel to their destination.

Achieving the right weight distribution can be tricky when carrying someone in a wheelchair. The additional weight of the wheelchair and its user often results in an uneven load, typically heavier on one side. If this weight imbalance cannot be corrected, it can cause the vehicle's original suspension to sag at the rear, negatively impacting ride comfort and cause vehicle damage.

Common accessibility problems

The vehicle's height might be too high or too low, or the ramp angle could be too steep. Passengers may also feel every pothole and bump in the road, leading to discomfort.

These are just a few examples of suspension problems that drivers and passengers commonly encounter on the road, and ensuring passengers have the best experience can be challenging due to these. Fortunately, we offer the perfect solution to address these concerns.
