Mobility Van Modification
Funding for Lock Docking System for Mobility Vehicle
Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty
My daughter has a powered wheel chair which I (her Mum) have to secure in the van-manually which is fixed to the floor by seatbelt strappings with hooks that hook into the chair.
I have to get on my hands and knees to be able to do this each time the chair goes in and out the van which with my back and hands i cannot do!
I am now 71 years old and have back and hand issues. (Doctors verification)
These problems are preventing me from being able to fix the chair in and out of the van.
I am unable to get funding as funding for disabled people have been cut by the government.
I need an automatic locking system (EZ Lock Docking System) fitted so Michelle can be hoisted into the van and drive her chair straight in and it automatically locks in.

DOCKING STATION NOW INSTALLED 18 February 2026
We now have the Docking Station for Michelle's Powerchair installed!
Thanks to all of you who supported her for this to happen she is now more willing to go out and about.
So for both of us life is now so much more easier .
Michelle just get hoisted into the van and drives to line up to the docking station and docking station clicks in.
When she goes out of the van she presses a button to unlock and drives her chair out.
YIPPEE!!!!
Very grateful to everyone 🙏
Thankyou so much from both of us.
I will get a photo as promised asap of Michelle using it.
