  • When engines should / should not be left running

  • Powering and deploying the lifter

  • Using the emergency stop

  • Loading and unloading the wheelchair passenger

  • Bringing passengers into the vehicle

  • Locating wheelchair restraint points

  • Using the 3 main types of wheelchair restraints

ADI can offer standalone Wheelchair Access Vehicle training or we can embed this training into our Road Safety Program which offers a holistic training experience for your people enabling them to operate the Wheelchair Lifter correctly, whilst also increasing the driver's ability to safely operate the vehicle throughout a range of road and environmental conditions.
