How much does a mobility vehicle fitout cost in NZ?

The cost of a mobility vehicle fitout depends on your setup. Key factors include: Vehicle platform and size Number of wheelchair positions and seating configuration required Hoist and restraint system specified Certification scope (LT400 or LVVTA) Whether the vehicle purchase is included or the fitout is quoted separately Annual hoist maintenance and servicing, if included Because every mobility fitout is built around your fleet and the people using it, pricing is best confirmed with an accurate quote rather than a fixed figure. Request a quote and we’ll break down exactly what’s driving the cost for your vehicle.

Which van is best for a mobility fitout in NZ?

There’s no single best platform — the right choice comes down to: How many wheelchair positions and seats you need Payload and GVM once the hoist, restraints and passengers are accounted for Your existing dealer or fleet relationship We build wheelchair-accessible conversions across the Toyota HiAce ZX, Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, Iveco Daily and LDV ranges. See the range on our Mobility Vehicle Fitouts hub

Can you fit out an electric mobility van?

Yes. We build wheelchair-accessible fitouts on electric platforms. EV mobility conversions bring a few extra considerations: Hoist, restraint and battery weight all count against a reduced payload Wheelchair positions and seating need to be planned around that weight budget, not just floor space Charging and power management for onboard equipment needs to be designed in from the start Get in touch to discuss range and payload for your fleet.

How long does a mobility vehicle fitout take from order to delivery?

From first enquiry to delivery, the process typically looks like this: You tell us about your wheelchair, seating and passenger requirements We prepare a design and an itemised quote for your sign-off Your vehicle is sourced or arrives from your dealer, ready for the fitout to begin We install the hoist, restraints and seating, then manage certification We hand the vehicle over, with operator training available if needed Get in touch to start a conversation, or see our Service and Training page for what happens after delivery.

Can I have both seating and wheelchair space?

Yes — a flexible mix of passenger seating and wheelchair space is one of our most requested mobility configurations, since most fleets need both on different days. Common options include: One wheelchair position plus up to nine seats Two wheelchair positions with swivel or fold-away seats Quick-release seating that converts between passenger and wheelchair space as needed See the configuration options on our Mobility solutions page, or talk to us about the mix your fleet needs.
