  • Patent number: 6076619
    Abstract: A self-powered, all terrain vehicle designed for self-assisted transfers of a paraplegic, or other disabled person, between the vehicle and a wheelchair. A longitudinally extended vehicle underframe is carried between two track mechanisms. Each track mechanism has an endless belt about the same and about pivotally mounted idler wheels and a rear drive sprocket in driving engagement with the belt. Each drive sprocket is driven by a hydraulic motor powered by a hydraulic pump coupled to an internal combustion engine. Height adjustable motor mounts permit adjusting the tension in each belt. A seat assembly carried by the underframe provides a passenger seating surface that extends laterally outward over the track mechanisms to minimize the lateral distance a wheelchair-bound passenger must heave his body to mount and dismount the vehicle.
