How to determine the feasibility for Mini Vans

& Vehicle door openings vs. Wheelchair width.

1. Person must have enough room to sit upright in their wheelchair inside the van.

 In order to determine this, measure from the ground to the top of the

person’s head. Next, measure the van ceiling to floor ( not the door

opening) to be sure that they have at least 1” of clearance inside the van.

2. Person must have enough room to pass through the door opening between the lift

and passenger seat along with the 3 ½ inch arm.

 In order to determine this, measure from the vehicles rear wheel hump

forward 9-½ inches (6 inches for the body of the lift and 3½ inches in arm

width). At this measurement point, place a marker of some kind. Of those

9½ inches, 3 ½ inches must be in a position to pass through the door.

 Measure from the 9½-inch marker forward in the vehicle to the back of the

passenger seat.

 Take the measurement from your marker to seat or the doorframe. (which

ever is reached first.)

 The width of the person’s wheelchair at its widest point cannot exceed that

measurement.
