There is a hydraulic passenger lift with remote control, powered by 24V batteries (220V mains) plus a hand pump as a back up system. The passenger compartment has been purpose built, with elevated factory-constructed seats with seat belts. The facility of removable seats also gives you space and maneuverability inside the passenger compartment to enhance your game viewing and the important all-round views. The wheelchairs are secured by means of factory built, quick release tie-downs to ensure safety whilst the vehicle is in motion. These tie-downs are bolted and welded to the framework of the truck body enhancing the all-round safety aspects.
Communication is via an open cab / passenger compartment integrated system between the driver and clients.  .
