Automatic Power Door - Side Entry Wheelchair Accessible SUV

Press the unlock button 3 times on the Chevy remote to activate the conversion as you approach the vehicle.  The power door will open towards the passenger rear quarter panel like a traditional sliding door.  Once inside you have 3 buttons placed around the interior for convenient access to open or close your wheelchair accessible SUV.  The system is designed to be a one touch system with the in floor ramp automatically deploying when the door reaches fully open. 

Power In Floor Ramp

In Floor ramps driven by a kevlar belt and strong electric motor are designed to work reliably in all climates across the USA.  Testing has been completed in the extreme cold of -30 degrees below zero and steep hills operation in Hilly San Francisco so no matter where you live you can be sure you have the best reliability.  Ramp capacities of 1000lbs and 30.25'' wide supports the heaviest and widest power wheelchairs on the market.  Slots cut in the ramp allow sand, snow and dirt to drop off the ramp and wheelchair wheels to bring less debris inside the wheelchair accessible SUV.

Auto Kneeling - Reduces the Ramp Angle

As the in floor deploys the passenger rear suspension automatically kneels towards the ground to reduce the ramp angle making it safer for wheelchair and scooters entering and exiting.  This feature can be turned off with a button when parallel parking next to a curb.  This system does not add any additional stress to the rear suspension and will not change how the vehicle handles or ride quality.

Removable Front Seats

Driver & Passengers seats can be removed in seconds with the Step & Roll seat bases.  Mounted on wheels makes the removal easy for all ages and capabilities.  Roll up to the steering wheel in your wheelchair or secure a wheelchair in the front passenger location with tie down anchor points included in all wheelchair accessible suvs on the Chevy Traverse.

My professional background stems from non-profit marketing and fundraising for a large children’s cancer hospital. Every day I was able to make connections and relationships for kids and their families going through devastating times. From securing small donations to large corporate support, it was all about providing hope that one day doctors and researchers would find a cure. It was truly an honor to be a part of something so important.

Just this past year, I came to work alongside my family for BLVD.com, a website dedicated to offering the latest information and resources for people needing mobility products. This was a dream come true for me as I have always wanted to combine more time with my family while still helping others. Our family has been in the mobility industry for over 35 years with the goal of enhancing the quality of life for people with mobility issues. This is the spirit behind BLVD and what I am most excited about sharing in my blog.

I love meeting new people and have found that volunteering is the best way to learn more about others and myself. Coffee keeps me going as do walks my pup "Kirby" and most of all being with family and friends. I invite you to check out my blog to learn more about how "together we can move through life better!"
