Ford Transit L4 wheelchair van

American version of the Ford Transit. Flexible wheelchair van that can safely accommodate nine able-bodied passengers or six wheelchair passengers. You can serve a wide range of passengers with the B-FiT Ford Transit L4 minibus. This wheelchair van can be used as a taxi van, wheelchair taxi or handicap van by a taxi or transport company. If a wheelchair space is not used, other passengers can sit on the comfortable tip-and-turn seats that are included. Due to the size of this wheelchair van, some countries require a bus driving licence.

B-FiT for Ford Transit L4

B-FiT is a ready-made floor that is laid in the Ford Transit L4. Belts to secure wheelchairs are integrated into the B-FiT floor. There are rails in the floor that hold tip-and-turn seats for able-bodied passengers, as well as the belt columns to secure the wheelchair passengers.

There are five belts per wheelchair space, which are integrated in the B-FiT floor. Four of these belts are safety belts with a hook, which are meant to secure a wheelchair in the disability van and keep it in place during a journey and in the unthinkable event of an accident. The adjustable seatbelt column is used to secure the wheelchair passenger. The buckle for that last belt is in the fifth position integrated in the floor.

Safety+ option Safe and easy

For extra safety, you can expand the B-FiT system with the Safety+ option. The Safety+ option comes with a screen that shows you whether tip-and-turn seats are in use and whether passengers are using their seat belts. This also applies to the wheelchair user. The screen is placed at the driver's side, where he can see at a glance whether all passengers are wearing their seat belts and it is safe to drive. If the wheelchair passenger releases the seatbelt, the driver is notified.

Group transport with the Ford Transit

The wheelchair passenger always has good visibility through the windows, because the tip-and-turn seats are the only seats on the market to be folded down under the windows. When there is no wheelchair passenger in the wheelchair space, the tip-and-turn seats can be folded down for other passengers. There is a maximum of two folding seats, for two passengers, in each wheelchair space, with the exception of the wheelchair space by the sliding door, which has space for one folding seat. This means you can be extremely flexible with group transport in the Ford Transit. For example, you can transport eight able-bodied passengers and one wheelchair passenger or four able-bodied passengers and four wheelchair passengers.

Safe passenger transport

If the belts that are integrated in the B-FiT floor are not used, the hooks are stored in the floor. This creates a completely flat floor on which passengers are less likely to stumble in the passenger bus. It goes without saying that all the belt systems conform to the latest European safety requirements and have been extensively tested in order to qualify for this.

The same applies to the folding seats and the frames on which they stand, for which tensile tests have been conducted in-house to ensure safety. The results are verified by the RDW, the Dutch National Road Administration. The test results are valid for the entire European Union.

Boarding and alighting

Wheelchair passengers enter the Ford Transit L4 wheelchair van via a wheelchair lift attached to the B-FiT floor at the rear of the Transit. You decide for yourself what type of lift you want to install. B-Style does not make its own lifts, but we can order them for you. The other passengers can enter via the sliding door on the side of the bus.

Personalizing your Transit Wheelchair Van

You can choose between four and six wheelchair spaces. You can also choose the number of tip-and-turn seats, with a maximum of nine. Normally the seats are placed by the windows, but if desired, a row can also be placed in the middle, next to each other. This is possible because there are three mg 2494 rails in the floor to which the seats can be attached. You can also choose a panel in the headliner with lighting, a safety hammer and space for extra speakers.

Wheelchair van conversion

Converting a Ford Transit to a wheelchair van couldn't be easier. The floor is delivered to the conversion company ready for use, so there is no cutting or welding involved in conversion of the van for handicap transportation. To eliminate friction, a plastic layer and adhesive are supplied for use between the van and the B-FiT floor. For extra strength, the floor is screwed to the bottom at a number of points. The seats and seatbelt columns are placed on the rails, and if an air conditioner is present behind the wheel arch, a different seat leg is supplied.
