What Are Non-Emergency Medical Transport Vehicles?

Non-emergency medical transport vehicles come in a diverse range of configurations, each offering unique features and qualifications to cater to specific needs.

Typically, NEMT vans are designed to accommodate both wheelchair users and individuals with ambulatory mobility. Some vans are capable of transporting 3 to 4 passengers, while others can accommodate 5 or 6 passengers alongside wheelchairs.

NEMT vans grant wheelchair accessibility through either side or rear entry points, which can be facilitated by either manual ramps or power wheelchair lifts. When choosing a van with ramp access, you have the option to select either in-floor or foldout ramps. In-floor ramps conveniently slide out from the vehicle floor, ready for use, and retract back into the van when the wheelchair is secured in place. Alternatively, foldout ramps neatly fold against the passenger side door when not in use and can be unfolded as needed.

Additional features to consider may include:

• Wheelchair tie-down systems that keep wheelchairs securely in place during transit to prevent movement.
• 3-Point seatbelt harnesses
• Kneeling systems, which lower the vehicle to curb level, reducing ramp incline and enhancing ease of boarding.

Given the extensive variety of features available in Non-emergency medical transport vehicles, thorough research is advisable to ensure that your chosen vehicle aligns perfectly with your transportation requirements.

Custom Order Options

Custom ordering a commercial wheelchair van or mobility van is more than possible at Paul Sherry.

Put simply, custom ordering a van means you order a new vehicle straight from the automaker or manufacturing plant. There are several benefits to doing this:

• Firstly, you can choose the van’s color, aesthetic features, interior inclusions, and other elements. In other words, you get to decide exactly what the van does, how it operates, and what it looks like. This can be even more important for those who use wheelchairs compared to other individuals
• Secondly, custom ordering a van means you may want  your your vehicle delivered after it’s completed. Paul Sherry’s representatives and sales staff are happy to assist with the process, so vehicle delivery goes off without a hitch
• Lastly, custom ordering a van sometimes means you pay less than if you order a new van off the lot. When you order a commercial wheelchair van from scratch, the automaker knows that it has a guaranteed purchase. Because of this, the automaker might be willing to give you a slight discount

While you do have to wait for several weeks or up to a few months for your van to be completed, there are still lots of benefits to custom-ordering a new vehicle. Paul Sherry can help if you decide to go with this route.
