I love my van. Always have liked vans, before I actually needed one. And nothing really wrong with my van as is. The lift however takes up a decent amount of space and the side entry is unusable unless you lower the lift. Making the van a pain if others use it who don't need the lift. And in my case, my power chair is to big so there are space issues. In my search for options, changing to a rear lift, bigger van, single wheel trailer etc. We all know that Mobility vans are very expensive. Sometimes I can see some of the reasons why, other times not so much. Anyone used or looked at industrial lifts and ramps before? To me, the main difference is the lack of side rails. I've had a decent amount of experience in my working days with this brand, from pickup trucks to.semis, there are other good ones out there. These are a couple examples. Either would fit my van. Of course I could move my current lift to the rear. But it would still take up space in the van. These dont.
