Serious fab work......pretty amazing.

Got this in the shop today. Went out to get into it and looks just like a regular truck. Hit the open button and imagine my surprise! Very cool and amazing fabrication: dropped floor, cut and dropped frame rail. The platform comes out and down so they just roll their wheelchair onto the platform, then hit a button and it raises it up and slides it over behind the wheel. Can't imagine how long the prototype took to figure out.

 

That's a cool piece of engineering! And for a good cause to boot.

 

That took some doing,..someone get that man a beer

 

Few more pics. We're getting the seat belts and srs all working together for them today.

 

I saw one of those a few years ago at the plaza, I couldn’t figure out what the hell I was looking at
Yes that’s quite an engineering feat, probably pricey too

 

That took a lot of design work. It’s amazing what they come out with these days.

 

A great adaption, but I sure hope that the operator never opens that door when too close to another parked vehicle!

 

Amazing anything that gives the handicapped more independence is good!
