How Our Wheelchair Ramp Taxis Work in Bangalore
Discover how our automatic hydraulic lift wheelchair taxis make travel in Bangalore safe, simple, and comfortable.
For wheelchair users, negotiating standard taxis in Bangalore can often be stressful due to the lack of proper accessible vehicles. Even those claiming to be "accessible" mostly rely on manual ramps, which require physical effort and carry some risk.
Here at WheelchairTaxi Bangalore, we do things differently.
The Advantage of the Automatic Hydraulic Lift
Unlike standard manual ramps, our vehicles feature an automatic hydraulic lift system. This operates electronically and securely, allowing the passenger to remain seated in their wheelchair while the lift raises them gently into the vehicle.
Why the Lift Matters:
- No Physical Strain: It is effortless. Neither the passenger nor the caregiver needs to struggle to push a wheelchair up a steep ramp.
- Maximum Safety: Hydraulic lifts come with built-in safety flaps and a sturdy, flat platform, unlike folding ramps which can sometimes be unstable.
- Dignity & Independence: Boarding takes less than two minutes, providing a dignified and seamless experience.
Steps to Boarding
Here is what you can expect when our taxi arrives at your doorstep:
- Arrival & Setup: The driver will park safely, open the rear doors, and lower the hydraulic lift to the ground level via remote control.
- Boarding: The passenger maneuvers onto the lift platform. Safety flaps are engaged in the front and back to lock the chair onto the platform.
- Lifting: The driver will press the lift button to electronically raise the platform to the vehicle floor level.
- Securing: Once inside, the driver uses a standardized 4-point tie-down system to securely anchor the wheelchair to the floor of the vehicle. A dedicated seatbelt is then fastened around the passenger.
