Vehicle Modification Solutions in Dubai & UAE
Choose the type of vehicle modification you need. We fit swivel seats, wheelchair lifts, ramps and hand controls, and we build wheelchair accessible vehicle conversions in Dubai for customers across the UAE.
VEHICLE ACCESS
A swivel car seat turns toward the open door and moves out of the vehicle, so getting in and out is easier. The Turny seat is one of the car transfer seat options we offer. It can help seniors, people with limited leg strength and anyone who finds a normal car seat hard to use. We check that the seat suits your car model and the person who will use it before we fit it.
VEHICLE ACCESS
A wheelchair lift for a van or car lets a wheelchair user board a vehicle with power, without lifting or pushing up a slope. We choose the lift by platform size, vehicle opening and the weight it must carry. Many vans and some larger cars can take a wheelchair lift. Share your vehicle make, model and year and our team will check which lift fits.
VEHICLE ACCESS
A vehicle ramp gives a wheelchair user a way to roll into a van or car. We offer manual and assisted ramp options. The right wheelchair ramp for a car or van depends on the vehicle height, the door opening and the wheelchair size. Our team checks these details first so the ramp is safe and practical for daily use.
VEHICLE CONVERSIONS
A wheelchair accessible van lets the passenger stay seated in the wheelchair for the whole trip. Our easy pull ramp conversion adds a ramp that is simple to use every day. It is a good fit for families and carers who need a practical wheelchair van for regular travel. We assess the vehicle and the wheelchair before we start the vehicle conversion.
VEHICLE CONVERSIONS
The G24 NoRamp® is a wheelchair accessible vehicle conversion built around passenger access and transport. It is worth a look when space for an external rear ramp is a problem. As with every vehicle conversion we do, the vehicle, the wheelchair and the user are checked before we select this solution.
DRIVING SOLUTIONS
Hand controls for cars let a driver use the brake and accelerator with their hands. Other driving aids include a left foot accelerator, a pedal extension for cars and steering aids. These adaptive driving controls help more people drive on their own. The right set depends on the driver's needs and the car, so we review both before we fit anything.
COMMERCIAL ACCESS
A tail lift makes loading and unloading easier on a truck or commercial van. It lifts heavy goods from the ground to the load floor, so fewer people need to carry them. We offer tail lift options for selected trucks and vans. Send us your vehicle type and the loads you carry, and we will help you pick a suitable tail lift.
PASSENGER SEATING
We supply bus seats and minibus seats and fit interior equipment for suitable commercial and fleet vehicles. Fleets, hotels, schools and transport teams can choose seating to match how the vehicle is used. Contact us with your vehicle model and the number of seats you need.
Support for Every Part of Your Journey
From temporary equipment rentals to long-term accessibility solutions, our team supports your mobility at home, on the road and everywhere in between.
| Requirement | Solution to Assess |
|---|---|
| Passenger struggles to enter a normal vehicle seat | Swivel or transfer seat |
| Wheelchair user requires powered boarding | Vehicle wheelchair lift |

| Driver cannot comfortably use conventional pedals | Hand controls / left-foot accelerator |

This is a starting point only. The final solution should be selected after checking the user, vehicle and equipment compatibility.
