VMI Northstar Dodge Caravan Wheelchair Van – In-Floor Ramp

Although the Dodge Grand Caravan was discontinued in 2021 and replaced by the Chrysler Voyager and Pacifica, the VMI Northstar Dodge Caravan wheelchair van remains a top choice in the pre-owned market. This Access360 conversion features a fully powered in-floor ramp system that keeps the doorway clear, offering an open, unobstructed cabin layout. It provides seating for up to 5+1, making it a practical and spacious handicap-accessible van for families and caregivers alike.

Engineered with a 1.5-inch higher ground clearance than competing models, the VMI Northstar reduces underbody scraping while delivering a quieter, more comfortable ride thanks to advanced noise-reduction technology.

 

Automatic Doors and In-Floor Wheelchair Ramp System

The VMI Dodge Caravan in-floor wheelchair van features a patented, ultra-low, in-floor power ramp system for safe and convenient entry and exit. This high-strength aluminum ramp supports up to 1,000 pounds and slides out from beneath the floor, keeping the doorway clear and maximizing interior space for wheelchair users and passengers.

To ensure reliability, the Northstar includes VMI’s SURE DEPLOY™ backup system, allowing the ramp to stow and deploy manually during an electrical failure. This innovative design makes the VMI Northstar one of the most dependable and spacious handicap-accessible vans.

Removable Front Seats for Flexible Wheelchair Seating Options

The VMI Dodge Caravan in-floor wheelchair-accessible van features easily removable front seats, allowing for various seating configurations. Whether you prefer to drive from your wheelchair or ride up front as a passenger, the obstacle-free layout makes adjustments simple. The spacious interior can even accommodate two wheelchairs side-by-side, making this accessible van an ideal solution for families or caregivers needing extra flexibility.

Corrosion-Resistant Galvaneal Steel Floor

All VMI Northstar Dodge Caravan handicap-accessible vans are built with floors made from durable galvaneal steel and protected with advanced E-coating. This process offers superior resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity—something that sets this wheelchair van apart from many competitors in the accessible van market.

Lowered Floor and Generous Headroom for Wheelchair Users

The VMI Dodge Caravan handicap-accessible wheelchair van features an 11-inch lowered floor that extends from just behind the firewall to the third-row seat. This modification expands interior height throughout the cabin and results in a door opening height of 55 inches, making it an excellent fit for even the tallest seated wheelchair users. The lowered floor enhances comfort, visibility, and maneuverability while maintaining the vehicle’s spacious feel.
