Improved mobility for handicapped travellers


Fenton Mobility, one of the largest upfitters in the United States, holds numerous patents for personal mobility innovation, including a low-angle wheelchair ramp that enables safe, easy van access via the rear entrance. Smooth, reliable operation of this ramp is critical to the comfort and safety of passengers, and Fenton achieves this cost effectively thanks to smart, heavy duty electromechanical actuators from Thomson Industries
