Which Is Better?  Fold Out or In-Floor Wheelchair Ramp

Wheelchair accessible conversions feature many options from power to manual operation, removable seats and carpet or rubber flooring.  The most important feature to choose from is fold out or in-floor wheelchair ramp type.  Fold out ramps feature full power operation and will stow vertically in the door below the window, so you maintain visibility outside.  In floor ramps can also be powered but they stow under the middle section of the floor keeping the doorway obstruction free.  Both options are available on Toyota, Honda, Chrysler, Dodge, and Chevy platforms from industry leading manufacturers from VMI, Rollx Vans, BraunAbility, and AMS Vans.  Below we review many of the features and benefits of both styles of wheelchair ramps that can help you decide which wheelchair ramp type is best for you.  Search BLVD.com over 4,000 new and used wheelchair vans for sale that can be shipped directly to your home or business.  Need help identifying what to look for when shopping for a used wheelchair van?  Check out our blog post reviewing this or watch our YouTube video that goes into depth on this very topic.

In-Floor Wheelchair Ramp Features

The single biggest advantage of an in-floor ramp is that the ramp stows beneath the floor out of sight and out of mind.  It allows easy access to and from the rear bench seat without the ramp in the way.  Activate the power door with a remote and the power in-floor ramp which will deploy out and stow back at the push of a button.  Once inside the in-floor wheelchair ramp design offers up the most interior space for maneuvering around as the ramp motor is positioned under the floor instead of being mounted above the floor taking up spacing.  Need the widest ramp available?  The in-floor wheelchair ramp will offer the widest ramp available to support both power and manual wheelchair users.  Shop online for Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, and Chevy wheelchair accessible vehicles with in-floor ramps now.

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!"
