A division of Van America · St. George, Utah
The freedom to move.
Accessible minivans and custom full-size vans, certified lift installation and service — all in one place.

What do you need help with?
Most people arrive with a situation, not a product in mind. Pick the one that sounds like yours.
I need a wheelchair accessible vehicle
Accessible minivans and full-size mobility vans, across the size range.
I already own a van and need a lift
Certified lift installation and wheelchair securement in a vehicle you already have.
My lift needs repair or inspection
Service and warranty work on RICON, BraunAbility and Q'STRAINT — ours or anyone's.
I need to drive myself
Hand controls, docking systems and adaptive driving equipment, fitted to you.
I'm helping a family member and don't know where to start
The questions we'd ask you on the phone, written down — ramp or lift, what to measure, how people pay.
I manage a facility or a fleet
Multi-position transport vans for care facilities, clinics and community programs.
Not sure yet? That's normal. Nobody buys one of these twice. Answer four questions and we'll tell you which kind of vehicle fits — no email, nothing saved, including when the answer isn't a vehicle at all.
Let us guide you →What you can hold us to
We won't sell you more vehicle than you need.
If a turning seat and a chair hoist solve it for a fraction of a conversion, that's what we'll tell you — before you've spent anything, not after. Three of the answers our Vehicle Finder gives don't end in buying a vehicle from us at all. That isn't an oversight.
How it fits together
The whole size range, one place to buy.
Most dealers carry one line and steer you into it. We carry more than one, deliberately — and the full-size vans are manufactured by our own company, half a mile from where you'd take delivery.
Built by VMI
Accessible minivans
Vantage Mobility International — 35 years, official conversion partner to Toyota and Chrysler, crash-tested to federal NHTSA standards. We're an authorized dealer carrying three of their models.
Fitted & serviced by us
Wheelchair lifts
Certified on RICON and BraunAbility lifts and Q'STRAINT securement — the system that anchors the chair to the floor. We'll fit a lift into a full-size van you already own — Sprinter, Transit or ProMaster — and keep it running for as long as you have it, whoever built it.
The full range
Every kind of mobility van, under one roof.
From a minivan that fits your garage to a full-size passenger van that carries the whole family and two wheelchairs — and everything between. Carrying more than one manufacturer means we have no reason to steer you.
Passenger vans
Room for the chair and everyone else. Multiple securement positions, seats for the passengers who walk (ambulatory seating), and a layout that doesn't park the wheelchair user alone at the back.
Accessible minivans
VMI Northstar and rear-entry conversions on Toyota and Chrysler — lowered floor, in-floor or fold-out ramp, and a vehicle that parks where you already park.
Transport & fleet
ADA-compliant vehicles for care facilities, shuttles, non-emergency medical transport and municipal fleets. Driver-operated lifts, multiple stations.
Lift retrofits
Already own a Sprinter, Transit or ProMaster? We'll fit a certified RICON or BraunAbility lift and Q'STRAINT securement into it — usually the fastest and cheapest route there is.
In stock & ready to roll
On the lot right now.
Almost every accessible vehicle in this country is ordered, built, and waited on. We keep a mobility-converted Sprinter in stock at all times — so you can come in, roll on, and find out today whether it fits your chair, your driver, and your family.
Most people learn more in ten minutes on the lift than in a month of brochures.

Where we are
We're in St. George. Not four hours away.
For most of southern Utah, having a wheelchair lift looked at has meant a drive to the Salt Lake valley or to Las Vegas. A full day and a tank of fuel — and most of a week if a part has to come in while the van sits in another state.
We're here in St. George — twenty-five minutes from Hurricane, under an hour from Cedar City, forty minutes from Mesquite. If your lift stops working on a Tuesday morning, you can be standing in our shop on Tuesday afternoon.
That matters more here than it would almost anywhere else. An accessible vehicle isn't a second car — when it's out of service, somebody doesn't leave the house.

Traveling further? Tell us what chair you use before you set off and we'll have the van staged and the lift ready, so the drive is worth making.
Can't make it to St. George at all? In some cases we can bring a vehicle to you for a fitting, anywhere in southern Utah, southern Nevada or northern Arizona. For some of the people we work with, getting here is the hardest part — so it’s worth asking. Ask about coming to you →
Service
Already own a mobility vehicle? We'll work on it.
Bring us a lift we've never seen, in a van we didn't build. Southern Utah doesn't have many places that will — and that's a bad reason for someone to lose their independence for three weeks.
Credentials
The certifications behind the work.
Accessible vehicles carry people who cannot easily get out of them. That raises the stakes on every bracket and every weld, and it's why the certifications matter more here than in any other kind of van work.

- BraunAbility
- RICON
- Q’STRAINT
RICON & BraunAbility
Certified to install and service both lines. Platform lifts for full-size vans — Sprinter, Transit and ProMaster — specified by chair weight, door opening, and who operates them.
Q'STRAINT
Retractable tie-downs, docking systems that let a chair lock itself into a floor-mounted base without straps, and occupant restraints crash-tested to protect the person, not just the chair.
VMI — authorized dealer
Vantage Mobility International, 35 years in, official conversion partner to Toyota and Chrysler. Three models to order, including the Toyota Sienna Northstar — the only all-wheel-drive wheelchair accessible van built by anyone.
Van America
Van America builds to two separate standards at once: RVIA certification — the RV industry's electrical, structural and life-safety requirements — and Mercedes-Benz Expert Upfitter status, the engineering standard Mercedes-Benz sets for work done on its own chassis. Two bodies, auditing different things, in one vehicle.
How it works
A straight path from first call to keys.
Nobody buys one of these twice a year. We assume you're new to it, and we don't rush the part where you work out what you actually need.
Step 01
Consultation
The chair, the driver, the passengers, and the routine. Measurements before options.
Step 02
Fit & demo
Roll onto the in-stock Sprinter with your own equipment and see what actually clears.
Step 03
Build, fit, or buy
A custom build, a lift fitted to your current vehicle, or something ready on the lot.
Step 04
Service for life
Lift inspection, adjustment, and repair — on our work and on anyone else's.

One conversation is usually enough to know what fits and what doesn't. Call the shop, send a note, or come see the van in person.
