Adapted transport and specialist mobility vehicles

We choose to supply Altro as our primary floor option due to its ability to hold up and provide safe, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing options for our customers. We have not had a single warranty, or failure with our Altro flooring installations in over 18 years. This is why we continue to use Altro.

Safety flooring solutions for adapted transport vehicles

A strong concern for adapted transport vehicles is for the safety of everyone using them: not just the individual for whom the vehicle is adapted for, but the operatives as well. Safety floors for use in adapted transport vehicles need to perform to the highest standard at every part of the journey, whether it’s on the access ramp or the main body of the vehicle. Altro Transflor Chroma, Altro Transflor Figura, and Altro Transflor Meta are engineered to offer excellent, sustained slip resistance, even when subjected to a range of contaminants, and with their durable construction, maintain their excellent slip performance journey after journey.

Durable floors for adapted transport

Adapted transport vehicles see a wide range of traffic including wheelchairs and stretchers as well as high, concentrated footfall. Wear and tear can cause failures in a badly constructed floor, meaning that the vehicle is out of action while repairs take place. For minimal downtime and a safe environment, a durable floor, compliant to key durability tests, is top priority. All Altro floors for adapted transport pass castor chair abrasion tests and show excellent performance to EN ISO 24343-1, for residual indentation, and EN 13845, for wear resistance.

Lightweight flooring solutions for adapted transport

Adapted transport services can cover over 80 miles per day with varied distances, loads and routes, and with the global industry turning toward green energy, fuel efficiency has never been more scrutinized. When one specialist mobility vehicle might go out with a wide variety of different types of loads, the basic chassis build has to be as lightweight as possible to allow for a flexible payload. A lightweight floor can help save precious kilograms per square yard, but it is key to ensure that a lightweight build does not compromise on safety or durability. Altro floors are engineered to be lightweight without compromise to allow for greater performance both in fuel efficiency and in practical usage.
