UPFRONT SEATING

Front row seating in the wheelchair.

Despite its compact size, the UpFront offers equal room for the wheelchair(s) as a much larger van or minivan.

The UpFront also offers:
• Better handling in inner-city traffic
• Better fuel economy
• Favorable road tax and insurance premiums
• Substantially lower base price than the larger alternatives

The interior space is maximized by lowering the floor as much as possible.
Nonetheless, the ground clearance is not affected, so speed bumps are not a problem.
Via the ramp and spacious rear entrance the lowered floor gives most wheelchairs unobstructed access all the way up to the dashboard.

Safety
Tripod Mobility is always driven by safety and is, therefore, one of the few car conversion companies worldwide that have invested in its own test bench. Tripod products are tested according to European standards and have the seal of approval of the Dutch Department of Transportation (RDW).

Specifications
The UpFront can accommodate virtually every wheelchair. The setup on the front row allows for two wheelchairs, two regular car seats, or one of each.
The lowered floor extends from the tailgate all the way to under the dashboard. The UpFront doesn’t require the use of a lift, because the lowered floor optimizes the accessibility. Optionally the UpFront can be equipped with the NIVO system, which reduces the inclination angle by lowering the rear of the car to the pavement.
The original front seats are mounted on a wheeled frame, for improved removal and reinstalling.
