Van Conversion
We enlisted the aid of Van Safety Conversions, another southwestern Oregon company. Through much hard work and extensive research a solution was found to correct the instability problems with 15 passenger vans. This conversion involves the addition of dual wheels to the rear, complete change out of the wheels and tires, suspension modifications and new fenders. "The change in handling of the 15 passenger van is unbelievable; this is what is needed on all 15 passenger vans that are currently on the road. I feel this conversion would virtually eliminate the accident/rollover problems associated with these vehicles" added Wayne.
The testing conducted on the 15-passenger van dual-wheel conversions illustrated the improved stability. A study referenced by Safetyforum in April '02 illustrated that placing dual wheels on the back axle of the 15-passenger vans made them much more stable than stock vans. The 'Heitzman' J-Turn Test demonstrated how easily the loaded stock vans rolled-over in emergency maneuvers, and how much more stable the same vans were with the dual-wheel conversion. The technology that could make them safe does not need to be invented. It has long been well known. Equipping them with dual rear wheels. The feedback has been 'overwhelmingly positive. Individuals that have driven the van report that "The van drives like a totally different vehicle." One person who has driven standard 15-passenger vans 'side-by-side' with the dually conversion vans reports a 'startling difference' in handling characteristics. The dual wheel vans had far superior lateral stability, less 'bounce' and more controlled steering while transporting a full load of passengers and towing a trailer.
