Quick Service Guide
Conversion Features
With our VW Internal Transfer, you can transfer inside the vehicle to a standard driver seat. A safe and comfortable transfer is assisted by a six-way powered seat which enables you to transfer in your most comfortable position. Your wheelchair is safely secured in the vehicle, and you can drive away in just a couple of minutes! This conversion has a fully lowered floor throughout which ensures excellent visibility for drivers. We pride ourselves on the quality of our conversions, which are designed to blend in with the original vehicle, giving a near seamless finish.
Entering and Exiting the VW Caddy WAV
Our rear entry conversion allows easy access to the driving position. The benefit of rear entry is you can park in a standard parking space and don’t need a disabled parking bay to get in and out.
Fully Automated Tailgate and Ramp
To ensure complete independence, our VW Caddy WAV is designed with an automated tailgate and ramp with lowering suspension. As you approach the vehicle, your key fob will open the tailgate and ramp, the suspension will lower so you can safely enter the vehicle using the shallow ramp. Once you are comfortably in the driver position, simply press a button on the dashboard or the key fob and the tailgate and ramp will close and the suspension will rise.
Low, Anti-Slip Ramp
Our automated ramp with lowering suspension is below 11 degrees, ensuring you can enter and exit with ease. The ramp is designed with an anti-slip coating, improving wheel traction in wet weather. The interior floor of the vehicle is also designed with an anti-slip material. We can fit bespoke grab rails should you require that extra help.
Seating and Storage
As standard, there is space for the driver and one front passenger. Some Approved Used vehicles have one additional fold-down seat in the rear giving you space for up to three people. We can also fit bespoke driving solutions. Please ask us about our adaptations service.
Securing Your Wheelchair
Your wheelchair will be safely secured behind the front passenger seat either with straps or an automated wheelchair locking system, depending on your chair. We can discuss the options with you on your demonstration. Watch our demonstration video.
