What Vehicle Adaptations Do We Offer?

Hand Controls

 

PB Conversions’ hand controls for vehicles are carefully designed for the comfort and ease of operation by individuals with limited or challenging use of their lower limbs. Hand control aids offer a solution that allows people to take control of their vehicle’s accelerating and braking using their hands. Whether you’re seeking adaptations due to physical disabilities or simply aiming for a more convenient and comfortable driving experience, our hand controls provide the answer you’ve been searching for. Our hand controls are bespoke to each vehicle they are fitted to and can be designed to fit each customer’s individual needs. We can also fit other manufacturers’ controls depending on your preference.

Left Foot Accelerator

 

Our left foot accelerator is designed for individuals who need to use their left foot for acceleration due to difficulties with their right foot. Featuring PB Conversions left foot accelerator with pedals either side of the brake pedal, it’s simple to use: pull down the pedal you need, and the other seamlessly moves out of the way. If you have an organ style accelerator pedal we can still fit a left foot accelerator and a quick release pedal guard over the right pedal. 

Remote Control Devices

 

Remote control devices can attach to the steering wheel or other locations to suit your preference. These provide control over secondary functions such as indicators, lights, horns, front and back washers and wipers. They’re perfect for one-handed operation, with a transmitter sending signals to your vehicle through a control box.

Hoists

 

Boot hoists offer seamless accessibility and convenience in vehicle conversions. At PB Conversions, we can fit a range of boot hoist options tailored to your specific needs, vehicle type, and what you need to lift into your vehicle. Let us assist you in selecting the perfect boot hoist for your requirements. 

Steering Aids & Power Steering & Brakes

PB conversions offer steering aids, like extensions or grips, to make steering more comfortable for those with limited upper body strength or mobility. We can also lighten your car’s steering or brakes for reduced effort. Different grip options, including ball and lollipop grips, cater to your needs and work with any vehicle. 

Seats

 

Different seat options and seat adjustments provide enhanced comfort and support for individuals with disabilities in Milton Keynes. From swivel seats to the innovative Carony system, we offer a range of options to make your travel comfortable and safe. These seats can be electric or manual, operated with a remote control ensuring safe and convenient travel. We can also raise seats or extend the seat runners to suit your individual needs.  

Space Drive System

 

Space Drive vehicle adaptations empower individuals with limited strength, mobility, or similar disabilities to operate a vehicle effortlessly. Microprocessor-controlled driving aids enable control of the brake, accelerator, steering wheel, and other car functions. These adaptations offer unparalleled freedom to allow you to embark on the journeys you’ve always desired. This system manufactured by Paravan can be tailored to your needs.

Drive from the Wheelchair

 

drive-from wheelchair adaptations enable individuals to operate the vehicle from their wheelchair in their wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) or to travel as a passenger in the wheelchair. This gives great independence for wheelchair users. There are many different solutions that we can offer.

Roof Stowage Systems

 

roof stowage systems securely store wheelchairs on the vehicle’s roof. The chair topper offers an alternative to traditional boot hoists, saving valuable seating and storage space inside your vehicle.

Wheelchairs

The Paravan PR30 powered custom wheelchairs help to meet the diverse needs of individuals with physical challenges. We offer both modular and standard wheelchair systems with features like tilt and lift functions, a contoured seat system with nine backrest configurations, an adjustable headrest, multi-adjustable armrests, and easy-care fabric seat covers.
