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.
