Your vehicle is equipped with an interlock intermotive system. This system is a powerful <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/les-dispositifs-de-securite-des-elevateurs-pour-fauteuils-roulants\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">safety feature<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will not let the lift move until every necessary safety condition is met. This protection is put in place primarily for the safety of your passengers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To operate the lift, you need to complete three simple checks inside the vehicle:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vehicle power:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The vehicle needs to be turned on. The hydraulic system requires constant electrical power to work properly.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>In park:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The vehicle must be secured in park. This prevents any forward or backward movement while the lift is in use.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Park brake:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The park brake must be on and completely engaged.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These three things, power, park, and brake, are essential steps you must complete. Once these conditions are met, you will see all the required lights lit up on the dashboard. When you see those indicator lights, the interlock system confirms that your van with a wheelchair lift is stationary and stable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, the hydraulic lift is good to operate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the system needs one more command. You must go to the back of the van wheelchair lift itself. There you will find the main switch for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/wheelchair-lift-not-moving\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ascenseur<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You must make sure this switch on the lift is in the On position. Once the vehicle&#8217;s interior controls are set and the switch is on, you are fully ready to use your lift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 40px 0;\">\n<div style=\"margin: 60px 0; padding: 20px;\"><a style=\"display: inline-flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; background-color: #8cc63e; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; padding: 14px 30px; border-radius: 5px; line-height: 0; height: 40px; transition: background-color 0.2s ease, text-decoration 0.2s ease;\" href=\"https:\/\/7453624.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net\/hubfs\/7453624\/MoveMobility\/MM%20Website%20Downloads\/Top%205%20Problems%20with%20Wheelchair%20Lifts%20Guide%20with%20Solutions%20-%20March%202024.pdf\"><br \/>\nLearn about the five problems with wheelchair van lifts<br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Unfolding and lowering the wheelchair lift platform<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the system powered up, you\u2019re ready to deploy the platform using the control box. This handheld box is how you manually command the hydraulic system. You\u2019ll find that there are two buttons on your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/wheelchair-lift-problems-with-control\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">control box<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for basic movement. These buttons control the movement of the platform itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is unfolding the platform:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unfold button:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You press and hold this button to begin the platform\u2019s movement.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Motion:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The platform moves from its vertical storage position to a flat, horizontal level.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Level check:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You must keep the button pressed until the platform reaches this fully level position. This ensures the lift surface is ready for the next action.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the platform has reached its level position, you must change your command. You can now go and switch to the <\/span><b>Down<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> function. Pressing the Down button tells the hydraulic system to slowly lower the platform toward the ground. The platform moves using controlled, steady pressure. You continue to press the Down button until your lift is safely on the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The moment the lift is safely on the ground, you must make the final exterior check. Before you load any passenger, you must address the transition plate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want to go ahead and make sure that your latch is all the way down. The latch must be fully extended to ensure you can safely load the wheelchair onto the wheelchair platform lift. This final step creates a smooth, zero-step transition for the passenger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Loading the passenger and engaging the lift electronics<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lift platform is down, and the latch is secured all the way to the ground. You can now proceed to the most important part: loading your client. You will go ahead and load the wheelchair onto the lift. The chair must be positioned correctly and centrally on the platform surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the wheelchair is successfully loaded onto the platform, you must address <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/comment-fixer-un-fauteuil-roulant-dans-une-camionnette\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">passenger security<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The lift is equipped with an essential safety belt. This belt is there to secure the individual to the platform during the ascent. You must fasten this belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is what you need to know about the safety belt:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Function:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It works just like a regular seat belt you find in a car.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Purpose:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Its purpose is to hold the passenger firmly in place while the van wheelchair lift is moving.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dignity:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a critical step for dignity and security. Never lift a passenger until the safety belt is properly secured.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the passenger secured, you can now return to the control box. You will go ahead and press the <\/span><b>Up<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button on your lift.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Engagement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This action will engage the electronics to work and begin the hydraulic ascent.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Motion:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The lift will smoothly and steadily raise the platform toward the level of the van floor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Supervision:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You maintain a constant watch on the passenger and the mechanism throughout the lifting process.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Folding the rear hydraulic lift in a wheelchair van for transport<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your passenger is safely inside the vehicle and secured. The next step is securing the rear hydraulic lift for the trip ahead. You must fold the lift back up into its original position. This step is mandatory for safe transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll now return to your control box. While the passenger is safely secured inside, you use the controls to command the lift to fold. This process often involves pressing the <\/span><b>Up<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button until the lift platform reaches the level of the van floor and then continues to move. The hydraulics automatically guide the platform to swing back up vertically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The original position means the platform is vertical and securely locked inside the rear of the van. This is the same neat position it was in when you first started the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is folding so important?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Safe Transport:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> An unfolded lift is a serious traffic hazard. You must secure the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/lifts-for-wheelchair-vans-pros-cons\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00e9l\u00e9vateur pour fauteuil roulant<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before the wheels turn even one rotation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Protection:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Stowing the lift protects the sophisticated machinery itself from road debris or accidental damage during the drive.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vision:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It clears your rear window. This gives the driver full visibility, which is essential for safe operation on the road.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lift will continue to operate until it is fully stowed and locked into place. This mechanical action seals the rear door opening. This helps maintain the climate control inside the van. That is a welcome relief, whether you\u2019re driving across the prairies or waiting for a ferry in British Columbia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checking that the van wheelchair lift is securely stowed is the final action that shifts your focus. You are now ready to transport your passenger smoothly and securely to their destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Want to know more about wheelchair lifts?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-253386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/PL-Classic-Rear-Lift-view.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/PL-Classic-Rear-Lift-view.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/PL-Classic-Rear-Lift-view-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You probably came to this article feeling worried about using your new wheelchair van lift.
