Ford Tourneo Connect Wheelchair Accessibility Features

Professionally converted by Allied Vehicles, this Ford Tourneo Connect has been adapted to accommodate a wheelchair passenger travelling in the rear.

The accessibility features include:

• Seating for three people plus a wheelchair passenger
• Lightweight rear access ramp
• Fold-flat ramp function
• Lowered rear floor for additional wheelchair headroom
• Electric wheelchair winch to assist with loading
• Four-point wheelchair restraint system
• Passenger seatbelt for the wheelchair user

The wheelchair restraint system is designed to secure the wheelchair during travel, while the passenger seatbelt provides the appropriate restraint for the occupant.

We will be happy to demonstrate the ramp, winch and wheelchair securing equipment when you visit us. If you’re new to wheelchair accessible vehicles, we can talk you through the loading process and explain how everything works.

Wheelchair and Mobility Scooter Area Measurements

Choosing the right WAV is about more than the vehicle itself. The available space needs to suit the wheelchair user, their equipment and the way they travel.

The measurements for this Ford Tourneo Connect are:

• Ramp Width: 78 cm
• Wheelchair Area Length: 140 cm, measured up to the winch
• Entry Height: 142 cm
• Width Alongside Rear Seat: 62 cm

These dimensions may suit a range of manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and some mobility scooters, depending on their overall size and configuration.

If you’re looking at wheelchair cars for sale and aren’t sure which vehicle will accommodate your particular wheelchair, we’re happy to help.

We recommend measuring your wheelchair or mobility scooter before arranging a viewing. Please include its overall length, width and height, as well as the combined weight of the wheelchair user and equipment where relevant to the vehicle and conversion limits.

If you can provide these measurements, we can discuss suitability before you travel.

Practical Benefits of This Ford Tourneo Connect WAV

The Ford Tourneo Connect is a popular choice for wheelchair users because it combines the familiarity of a passenger vehicle with the additional space and accessibility needed for wheelchair travel.

This example has a number of practical features to help make everyday journeys easier.

Straightforward wheelchair access

The rear access ramp provides a convenient way to enter the vehicle, while the lowered floor creates additional headroom for the wheelchair passenger.

Electric wheelchair winch

The electric winch assists with loading a wheelchair into the vehicle, reducing the physical effort required when travelling with a wheelchair user.

Room for family or carers

With three conventional seats alongside the wheelchair passenger position, there is room for other family members or carers to travel together.
