Another SCW Minibus for Teesside Ability Support Centre
This month we had the pleasure of delivering a brand-new Mercedes Sprinter to one of our long-term clients Teesside Ability Support Centre (TASC).
Who are TASC?
TASC have been delivering a variety of services to adults with differing abilities since 1967. The organisation runs modern supportive day services, at two different venues, for those aged 18+ with physical disabilities. The services have a fantastic team of fully qualified staff on hand to provide excellent personal care. Teesside Ability Support Centre provides a safe environment for members to socialise in with a number of activities on offer including music, games, arts and crafts, hydrotherapy and trips out in their new fully wheelchair accessible minibus! Over the years we have converted a variety of accessible vehicles for TASC, with the first being delivered over 10 years ago in 2012. Take a look below!
TASC’s New Minibus
Their new accessible vehicle is based on a L4H2 Mercedes Sprinter and features our specialist Flat Floor design, along with six custom-stitched passenger seats, our exclusive fold-out side step and an underfloor tail lift.
The Flat Floor Design
Many of TASC’s members require wheelchairs, so our Flat Floor design is the perfect solution for them. The SCW Flat Floor provides maximum passenger seating and wheelchair space in the rear saloon by eliminating all wheel arch intrusions. The removal of wheel arch intrusions means less restrictions on where wheelchairs can be secured, allowing TASC to transport up to 5 members at any one time.
