For many years MURVI has applied its ingenuity to designing and building vehicles for specific uses, such as those for disabled drivers or passengers.

These can incorporate whatever individual facilities are needed; as an example, the pictures show two access options, from simple to sophisticated.

"Seeking out information and finding solutions to mobility problems can be very time consuming – we cannot speak highly enough of the way in which Murvi took on our special requirements”.

"We were particularly pleased to see our Murvi Morello, with its hydraulic lift and internal railed hoist fitted, featured in your magazine. One does need to be aware that nearside hydraulic lifts cannot always be used to unload a wheelchair and occupant, and it required a great deal of research to find a vehicle with a strong enough roof to take the hoist. With our internal hoist, as fitted by Murvi, I can now lift my wife from her wheelchair into a sling placed on the floor of the Morello and then hoist her into the passenger seat. This system immediately makes many more parking spaces accessible. In addition, the tracked hoist running from passenger seat, over the bed, and then into the toilet/shower has eliminated the awkward and potentially back-damaging lifting inside the vehicle."

Letter from Dr B J Hyde, Oxon.

Finding solutions to the sorts of difficulties outlined above and to hear comments like "Our Murvi motorhome has opened up life for me again" and "It has simply transformed our lives" makes this aspect of Murvi services particularly satisfying.

Other special adaptations we have carried out include

Floor-fitted wheelchair tracks and clamps
Underfloor installation of hydraulically operated side lifts
Internally mounted hoists for lifting wheelchairs and scooters
Electrically operated sliding side doors
Vehicle suspension uprating
All kinds of ramps
