Carrying passengers with mixed mobility needs is rarely just about the seat itself. It is about how the whole vehicle works together — the access point, the transfer space, the layout, the restraints, the carer position, and the ability to reconfigure all of it when the people you carry change.
Everything starts with your passengers. Their needs define the scope: how many wheelchair users travel on your busiest day, whether they use powered or manual chairs (a powered chair plus occupant can exceed 250 kg), how many seated passengers ride alongside them, how often a carer travels with each passenger, and whether you need the layout to flex between configurations week to week. Once that picture is clear, the build follows.
That is where Auto Transform comes in. Since 1990 we have been specifying mobility fitouts for community trusts, retirement communities, schools, healthcare providers, tourism operators and families across New Zealand. We supply the wheelchair tie-downs and occupant restraint(WTORS) rated for your actual chair weights, the track-mounted seats that fold away or remove entirely when a wheelchair takes their place, and the floor structure engineered to make all of it certifiable to AS/NZS 10542. Every element is matched to your specific needs, not pulled from a standard catalogue.
