| Mark 1 Lift |
|
With a lift capacity up to 600lbs, the VMI Mark 1 Lift was created to provide the maximum safety, reliability and operating ease. A fully automatic cassette style lift that allows clear exit and entry to the vehicle. The profile is thin, providing maximum ground clearance. The dual hydraulic cylinders allow smooth operation. |

|
| Raised Door |
|
VMI's raised roof with raised doors is ideal for those who sit higher in their wheelchair. The raised door allows for more height in the entryway of the van. |
| |
|
|
| Transfer Seat |
|
The Power Transfer Seat™ swivels 90 degrees at the touch of a button, allowing you to transfer from your wheelchair to either front seat, quickly and easily. Six-way operation lets you make adjustments up, down, forward, back and rotation right and left. |

|
|
| Lowered Floor |
|
VMI's 6" lowered floor offers additional interior height without adding height to the vehicle. Lowering the floor 6" allows the person using a wheelchair to remain seated at the appropriate height and offer a natural view from the interior of the van. Another benefit of a lowered floor over a raised roof is better road handling. |

|
|
| Turn Key Solution |
|
The turn key solution from VMI is to have all installation on your full-size van done during the manufacturing process; from your platform lift, to transfer seats and door operators. What this means to you is an easier ordering process and quicker delivery time, one stop shopping! |
