Wheelchair access
A lift or ramp is selected according to the doorway, entry height, wheelchair dimensions, load requirement and operating environment.
Purpose-built vehicle solutions that bring safe access, everyday practicality and Ertex VIP comfort into one project.
Request Your Vehicle →Every passenger has a different way of moving, transferring and travelling. Ertex reviews the vehicle dimensions, wheelchair or other mobility equipment, companion needs and desired cabin comfort at the beginning of the project. The access system, seating, controls, storage and VIP equipment are designed as one passenger experience rather than separate additions.
The cabin layout and access system are measured before installation, balancing circulation, ease of use and comfort for every passenger within the same plan.
Transfer preference, mobility equipment, companion arrangement and everyday use are documented.
The platform, doorway, interior height, circulation area and seating positions are measured together.
Lift, ramp, transfer seat, wheelchair restraint and occupant belt are selected for the project.
Operation, ergonomics, access points and destination-market requirements are reviewed.
At the touch of a button, the powered transfer seat swivels and travels all the way outside the vehicle to reach the passenger. This reduces the distance into the cabin. Seat movement, transfer height, controls and clearances are configured around the passenger and the vehicle.
The wheelchair position, approach and turning space, restraint points and occupant seat belt are considered together with the other seats. The result is planned to support access, companion needs and an orderly passenger space throughout the journey.
Lighting, multimedia, tables, storage, climate and other passenger functions are positioned without compromising access space. Materials and colour are completed through Ertex's bespoke cabin design approach.
The images on this page show examples from different projects. Lift or ramp capacity, transfer-seat travel, wheelchair restraint, occupant belt and seating layout are defined for the mobility equipment, base vehicle and technical requirements of the destination market.
The images in this section show accessible vehicle projects developed for the Mercedes-Benz Vito and V-Class platforms. Powered transfer seating, wheelchair space and VIP cabin equipment are configured around the vehicle and the passenger.
The Sprinter's wider doorway and larger cabin make it easier to plan powered transfer-seat movement, passenger approach and companion seating. These images show an accessible vehicle project developed for the Sprinter platform.
Clear answers about platform choice, transfer seats, wheelchair access and bespoke cabin planning.
Mercedes-Benz Vito and V-Class are suitable platforms for these conversions; however, wider vehicles such as the Sprinter can provide a more comfortable layout thanks to their larger door aperture, interior height and manoeuvring space. The final choice is made by considering the passenger's needs, wheelchair dimensions, selected access system and destination-market technical requirements.
At the touch of a button, the powered transfer seat swivels and travels all the way outside the vehicle to reach the passenger. This reduces the transfer distance between the vehicle seat and the outside. Its travel and controls are planned around the passenger and the vehicle geometry.
On a suitable platform, the wheelchair position, wheelchair restraint and occupant seat belt can be designed as one system. The final solution is verified for the wheelchair, cabin layout and applicable technical requirements.
The choice depends on vehicle entry height, door aperture, wheelchair dimensions, load requirement, frequency of use and parking conditions. Ertex identifies the appropriate route through measurements and a use analysis at the start of the project.
Yes. Seating, control positions, tables, storage, multimedia, lighting, climate and upholstery can be tailored while the required access and circulation spaces are preserved.
The programme is confirmed during the project proposal according to the base vehicle, selected access system, bespoke cabin scope, sourcing and the technical requirements of the destination market.
