Mechanical Hand Controls

Our mechanical hand controls create a direct, mechanical link to your vehicle’s brake and accelerator, providing straightforward and reliable functionality. Popular configurations include:

Push/Right Angle: Press the handle forward to brake and downward to accelerate.
Push/Pull, Push/Rock, and Push/Twist: Each design caters to different ergonomic and driving preferences.

These controls are compactly installed within the dashboard, optimizing legroom and maintaining an uncluttered interior. For added convenience, they include a lock-out feature, ensuring the vehicle can safely be driven by others without interference.

Electronic Hand Controls

For drivers seeking advanced features, electronic hand controls use the vehicle’s existing electronic signals to control throttle and braking. This eliminates the need for extensive dash modifications, offering:

Improved Leg and Lap Space: Perfect for those who prefer more interior comfort.
Enhanced Safety Features: Including acceleration responsiveness that exceeds mechanical options.
City Mode Sensitivity Adjustment: Allows you to fine-tune the throttle’s responsiveness for city or highway driving.
Flexible Installation: Sure Grip electronic hand controls can be installed on either the left or right side, accommodating driver preference.

Full-Service Vehicle Modification Options

If modifying your current vehicle isn’t the right fit, we can help you find a wheelchair-accessible van or other adaptive vehicle equipped with the hand controls you need. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring you find a solution that works for your lifestyle and mobility needs.
