Ladies in Wheelchairs
Women in wheelchairs now get around because someone many years ago thought of a great way to provide mobility to those injured or sick. Women in wheelchairs might have been injured in an accident, or they might have a disease such as diabetes. Women in wheelchairs might be in a device with a motor or one that is moved manually by the occupant, but these ladies get around quite well now.
These women can get around their own homes although before this great invention they might have been restricted to their beds, but now can lead a normal life. These women in wheelchairs have been given a great deal of independence that they did not have before.
Now, if the leaf springs handle much of the vehicle’s weight, wouldn’t adding additional helper springs stiffen the suspension, keeping the minivan from squatting under load? Absolutely – but the entire ride quality would then be “stiffer,” effecting shock absorber function, and decreasing overall comfort, creating a jarring ride. As such, increasing the leaf spring capacity with helper springs would help maintain ground clearance, but would also detract from overall ride quality and handling.
This leads to addressing the issue at the shock absorbers. Stock shock absorbers on most lowered-floor minivans are a fluid-filled, dampened cylinder, where they extend and compress as the wheels travel up and down. Of course, because shock absorbers connect from the axle to the chassis, weight in the vehicle alone can compress them, lowering the minivan – and the weight of a powerchair and passengers can compress them to an almost non-functional level. And, this is where a solution comes in.
As a substitute to traditional standalone shock absorbers, companies like Monroe make “load adjusting shock absorbers (as with Monroe’s Sensa-Trac Load Adjusting series), in that it’s an advanced shock absorber with a secondary variable rate spring around it, specifically designed to dramatically improve heavy load characteristics, without detracting from overall handling.
Women get to malls and theaters in their wheelchairs. They get to go to a baseball game if that is something that they enjoy. Clothing design for people in wheelchairs has been slower to evolve than wheelchair design.
And, at under $300 installed at most auto service centers, load adjusting shock absorbers are a very economic way to increase the practicality and usability of a lowered-floor minivan.
