Wheelchair Height

How can I make an adjustable height wheelchair work table?

It is going to be used as a planting table for wheel chair students in a greenhouse. It will be about 36" wide, 72" long, and adjustable from 29" to 36" high. I need ideas on how to make it adjust safely, easily and inexpensively. I plan on having 3 of these tables next to each other for a total length of about 18'.

i need to buy electric cooker wheelchair height. cant find a sight. help?

it must be between 70cm and 80cm high. Normal sights like b+q etc do not cater for disabled in wheelchairs


Hi Maureen,

You're not the only one having trouble finding a cooker between 70 and 80cms tall. The problem is that there are very few this size that are made as the standard height is 90cm.

I have looked through our site and while we do not stock any there may be a solution for you. If you were to buy integrated appliances, you would be able to have them installed at the height that you want them. This would mean that you wouldn't need to find a special cooker and may work out cheaper for you.

Depending on what you need you can often get some good packages including both the hob and the cooker part at a special price.

I do hope that this helps you even though it is not specifically what you were after.

Do I have to lower the floor in a mini van for a power wheelchair?

I am going to have to buy a van for my husband who needs to have a power wheelchair. I'm not sure if I need to buy a van thats already wheelchair accessible(which is more expensive) or if I can just buy a regular min van and buy the ramps for him to get in. I'm just not sure if the height is high enough for him to drive into the van? The wheelchair looks like one of those hover rounds chairs.


If he can walk a little there are liftes that can be put in the back you use the back door.If not you will need to get a conversion van Fr more head room they also make liftes for side doors.

Has anyone been to portaventura in spain? Im a wheelchair user and want to know if I would enjoy it?

Would I be able to get on any of the rides for example? What about the kids? They are not exactly tall for their ages (12 yr old is same height as 8 yr old). Plus, is it worth the price? What about the water park near salou? Would 2 wheelchair users be allowed in at same time?


Its a bit chavtastic - like benidorm. May as well go to blackpool.

  • Not Your Average Joe's in North Dartmouth

    Phone:  508-992-5637

    After an intense workout at Healthtrax Fitness Center Tony, Kevin and I went for lunch at ‘Not Your Average Joe’s’ in North Dartmouth for a healthy salad. I found this restaurant wheelchair accessible except for the lounge.

    There are plenty of handicap parking spaces located in the parking lot close to the entrance. There are double entry doors and the doors are not automatic so Kevin held the door open while Tony pushed my manual chair inside.

    Inside is spacious with plenty of room to maneuver your chair. The lounge has a large flat screen TV hanging on the wall. We would have liked to watch the Red Sox game yet there is no accessible seating in this lounge; the bar is too high for my wheelchair. I was in my manual chair because that is the chair I take to the gym yet if I was in my Permobil C350 Power Chair I would have been able to elevate my seat.
