Dodge Grand Caravan With VMI Summit Conversion – More Information

Dodge Grand Caravan Mobility Conversion Van
The Dodge Grand Caravan with VMI Summit mobility conversion van provides greater interior room than other folding mobility ramp vans. The exclusive Vantage Mobility International design allows for a folding wheelchair ramp system that creates this extra space.

For maximum security while entering the handicap vehicle conversion, side rails on the ramp have been raised 2 inches to prevent accidental roll-off. The entry angle of the ramp has also been reduced by the inclusion of Power Kneel.

VMI continues to distance themselves from their competition, and the Summit mobility van conversion on the Dodge Grand Caravan has played a major role in Vantage Mobility International’s lineup for over 15 years.

Specific Wheelchair Conversion Van Advantages
Dodge Grand Caravans offer a specific set of advantages over competitors wheelchair conversion vans. In fact, because the VMI Summit is available on the Express, Main-street, Crew, and R/T, there is a model that will work for almost any situation.

Special design configurations have been made in several areas of these wheelchair van conversions. The floor has been lowered 11″ which provides 54″ of headroom while entering. The front seating area has also been configured for disability access, meaning a disabled person can choose to ride in the front passenger position or even drive.

Dodge Grand Caravan With VMI Summit Conversion – Information

Dodge Grand Caravan With VMI Summit Conversion

The Summit conversion is an economical choice compared to the popular Northstar in-floor ramp conversion. It utilizes side rails that are 2” tall. This is especially important for those with a hard time navigating an incline.

Passengers can easily use the Dodge handle for the sliding door and switches because the handicapped ramp is not covering them. Second, users in wheelchairs have more room to move on and off the ramp when other vehicles park too close.
