The world of mobility equipment has grown tremendously in the last few years. We’ve seen the rise of things like lowering suspensions, new innovations in wheelchair ramps and quite a bit more. However, few pieces of mobility equipment have affected users’ freedom in the way that hand controls have.
Hand controls offer any individual with physical disabilities the chance to get back behind the wheel of their own vehicle. Here at Ride-Away, we offer a range of the most advanced hand controls in the industry, designed to accommodate a variety of different needs.
For example, the Guidosimplex line includes options such as an accelerator ring that mounts directly over the existing steering wheel, as well as the America Lever, which operates both the brakes and the accelerator from an easy-to-use lever mounted beside the steering wheel. The company also offers an automatic clutch, an extended brake arm lever and the innovative Duck Clutch.
Of course, we also offer EMC products, which include joystick controls, as well as a steering wheel input system with a 2:1 turn ratio for easier maneuvering. The company’s gas/brake input lever is also a very convenient solution. Sure Grip also manufactures a line of hand controls that can enable better control and convenience, even with limited hand mobility. For instance, their push/twist hand control solution lets drivers control the gas and brake by using pushing and twisting motions. They also offer a push/rock hand control system that works in a similar fashion.
Here at Ride-Away, we’re proud to bring our customers the highest quality hand control systems from the world’s top manufacturers. No matter what your driving needs might be, we have a solution that will give you the freedom and independence you deserve.
