Does AMS Vans provide a kneeling system?
No, Adaptive Mobility Systems formerly known as Handicaps Mobility has learned many lessons since our introduction into the Mobility Industry in 1979. In the past, we have repaired numerous kneeling systems from manufacturers of nearly every handicap vans provider including Braun, IMS and VMI. Our customers repeatedly explained that they turned this feature off because of the need for repair, which meant they were taking frequent trips to local mobility van dealers. Therefore, we decided to eliminate this feature from our conversion. We understand that this could be a necessary need for some. For example, wheelchair occupants who drive from a manual wheelchair might need the kneeling system. Some of our clients might not have the upper body strength necessary to push a manual wheelchair up the power ramp. If you are an independent wheelchair user or lack the necessary upper body strength, purchasing one of our wheelchair vans is probably not the best choice for your needs.
