Determining Motor Vehicle Size and type.
The size and type of wheelchair will impact on the type of vehicle suitable for
Wheelchair Occupant transport. Smaller vehicles are generally not suitable for
Occupant Transport of powered wheelchairs. The CentroGlide is a mid- wheel drive
chair and has good manoeuvrability inside a vehicle. Vehicles with rear entry are the
preferred vehicle type.
Best practise for positioning the wheelchair in a vehicle in a Forward Facing position is
to drive straight in from the rear of the vehicle and avoid manoeuvring inside vehicle
where possible. To unload wheelchair, again the best practise is to reverse wheelchair
straight out without manoeuvring inside the vehicle.
⚠ Warning
Never manoeuvre wheelchair while wheelchair is on a ramp or lifting ramp.
