Independence Automotive Mobility Hand Controls

Ford F350

Custom Fitted E-Radial Hand Control

A custom set of Guidosimplex E-Radial hand controls have been installed into this workhorse.

As Jason regularly drives very long distances it was important that the hand control was located in the optimum position adjacent to the arm rest  on the door to limit shoulder fatigue. Modifications were also required to the column shift so the full range of gears could be achieved without interfering with the hand controls.

Toyota Landcruiser

Electronic Radial Hand control Replacement

Our great client Wendy came to us in a very uncomfortable position, her hand controls had been digging into her legs for the past 5 years. Upon inspection we noticed the controls were very low and also removable, which was a requirement when they were installed in New South Wales. The Knee airbag had also been bypassed.

We removed the old hand controls and mounting and airbag disconnect module, manufactured a new mount for the Guidosimplex Electronic radial hand controls and ran the brake rod through the lower panel so it would no longer hinder the operation of the airbag.

Wendy achieved a lot more leg room and a comfortable seated position, problem solved!
