How our vehicle conversions and car adaptations can help
Sirus help many people who have suffered a spinal cord injury. Our vehicles are designed to offer various options depending on your capability and personal preference.
- Adaptations to your standard vehicle – many customers who can transfer into a standard car seat at the roadside prefer the use of a standard car with adaptations. we can fit a range of products including push / pull hand controls, steering balls, electronic accelerators as well as solutions to stow your wheelchair.
- Internal Transfer – You can transfer from your wheelchair to the OEM driver seat, which is assisted using a powered six-way seat base which moves forwards, backwards, up, down and rotates 90 degrees. Bespoke driving adaptations are fitted. (Ideal for both manual and powerchair users).
- Drive From Wheelchair – This type of conversion eliminates the need for a strenuous or assisted transfer as you remain seated in your wheelchair. The chair is automatically locked down into position securely and diving adaptations are fitted to suit your specific requirements. (Suitable for powerchair users only).
