A ramp to afford wheelchair access particularly to a taxi cab or private car includes a ramp member (12a) with a foldably connected extension (13) which normally forms part of the floor structure adjacent to the doorway, is pivotally connected to the floor structure and normally housed in an upwardly open recess (11) formed in the floor structure (10) adjacent to the doorway. When unfolded the sloping lower face of the recess (11), the upper face of the ramp member (12), and the extension (13) form a continuous ramp extending from the interior of the vehicle, through the doorway and to the ground, the recess then providing increased headroom in the doorway. Alternatively the recess may comprise a closure member formed by a part of the floor, the closure member dropping down when the ramp is deployed to provide the increased headroom (Figs 3a - 3c, not shown). <IMAGE> |
