FLASHCAB
The rear compartment has been modified:
. The roof has been raised providing maximum visibility for the wheelchair occupant
. The reinforced floor is at a low level as the petrol tank has been
relocated and optional LPG is fitted.
. A permanently fixed fold down platform ramp folds out from the rear of the vehicle. The rear vehicle door lifts up and forms a verandah which can act as protection from the weather whilst loading or unloading.
. The ramp forms a gradient of 1:4 for assisted or independent loading.
. The wheelchair and occupant are secured with a lap-sash style restraint and electronic front restraints.
Clear height on entrance into vehicle: 1450 mm
Ramp design:
The ramp is constructed of heavy duty steel and is counter balanced making it easy to fold and unfold one handed. Locking bolts keep it in position.
The folded ramp forms the rear body section of the vehicle.
The ramp and vehicle compartment floor is covered in marine carpet which will cope with water and heavy cleaning.
Standard features:
. Automatic transmission
. Air conditioning
