Des Gosling Mobility in Derby provide a fantastic range of adaptations to enable users and carers to maximise the freedom that the use of a vehicle offers. They pride themselves on offering a complete service, from discussing and agreeing the most effective solution, right through to fitment at their Derbyshire workshop or on-site throughout the Midlands.
Mobile Service
Des Gosling Mobility fully understand that as an end user it can be difficult to bring your vehicle to them to have your adaptations fitted. Therefore, in order to try and make your life as easy as possible, they provide a mobile fitting service for a wide range of products at either a dealership, your home, or your place of work. They can come out and fit adaptations to most places across the midlands. If you live outside the area of fitment you may have to bring your vehicle to the workshop in Melbourne, South Derbyshire.
Hand Controls
Hand controls enable an automatic car to be driven without using the foot pedals. Hand controls are commonly used in conjunction with steering aids, allowing the driver to steer using the left hand, while operating the acceleration and braking using the right hand. With each of the systems the car can still be driven using the pedals and standard controls.
Left Foot Accelerator
Designed for drivers who are unable to operate the accelerator pedal with their right foot, this adaptation allows a driver to operate an accelerator pedal on the left of the brake pedal with their left foot.
Remote control devices
Remote control devices allow people with restricted mobility to operate the secondary functions of a car safely with one hand. Simply pressing a button activates the required function e.g. horn, indicators, lights etc.
Scooter & Wheelchair Hoists
Hoists are a very easy way of lifting your wheelchair, scooter, or powerchair into the boot of your vehicle. They install a wide range of scooter hoists, meaning they can provide a solution for most combinations of vehicle and scooter. Hoists are usually installed on the right hand side of the boot and are designed to use as little boot space as possible.
Swivel Seats
Swivel seats are a very effective transfer aid, assisting the user to easily get in and out of their vehicle. As the name suggests, the seat is adapted in such a way that it can be swivelled by 90 degrees; so that it faces directly out of the door of the vehicle. This makes it very easy for someone to lower themselves into the seat, without having to bend and twist as they manoeuvre under the arch of the door. Some swivel seats also feature a powered up/down motion to make transferring even easier.
Mobility Scooters / Powerchairs
They also have a wide selection of Mobility scooters and powerchairs to suit your needs. Take a look at their website to see what’s available. They have many in the showroom, ready for a test drive.
