Frequently Asked Questions about Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Service

The lifespan of a wheelchair van can vary depending on factors such as usage, maintenance, and quality of the vehicle. On average, a well-maintained wheelchair van can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or more. Some wheelchair vans have been known to last even longer with proper care and maintenance.

If your wheelchair lift is not working, it could be due to various reasons. Check the power source to ensure it is connected and turned on. Look for any obstructions or mechanical issues that may be preventing the lift from operating smoothly. Inspect the wiring and connections for any loose or damaged wires that could be causing a malfunction. Verify the functionality of safety sensors that detect obstacles and prevent the lift from operating. If you are unable to troubleshoot and fix the issue on your own, you should seek assistance from a certified technician or wheelchair lift repair service.

A wheelchair lift should be serviced every 6 months to ensure it continues to function properly and safely. Regular maintenance can help prevent issues and extend the lifespan of the lift. Additionally, any signs of wear or malfunction should be addressed promptly by a certified technician. 

An MEI is a mobility equipment inspection is an evaluation of mobility equipment. The inspection includes safety checks, service of the equipment, cleaning of battery terminals, performance testing, and a vehicle multi-point inspection. This process helps ensure that the mobility equipment is in proper working condition, safe to use, and can perform efficiently. It can help identify any potential issues or wear and tear that may require maintenance or repairs to prevent accidents or malfunctions. The inspection is typically conducted by trained technicians who have expertise in mobility devices and equipment.

If you experience any issues with your wheelchair vehicle, it is important to address them promptly to ensure your safety and the proper functioning of the equipment. If you notice any signs of malfunction, such as unusual noises or difficulty operating the vehicle, stop using it immediately and assess the situation. Look for any visible damage, loose parts, or other abnormalities that may indicate a problem. Try to troubleshoot the issue based on the user manual or manufacturer guidelines, but do not attempt to repair the vehicle yourself unless you have the necessary expertise. Contact your local United Access dealer for assistance if you are unable to resolve the problem on your own. It is crucial to prioritize safety and avoid using the wheelchair vehicle if there are any doubts about its condition until it has been inspected and repaired by a professional. Regular maintenance and servicing of the vehicle can help prevent issues and ensure its continued safe operation.

The specific service intervals for mobility equipment may vary depending on the type of equipment and manufacturer recommendations.

Regular servicing can also help identify and address any potential issues before they escalate into more serious problems. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and consult with a professional service provider for specific recommendations on servicing your mobility equipment.
