COMMERCIAL BUILT VS. CONSUMER BUILT

What is the difference?

Consumer built means the vehicle conversion is constructed for a consumer standard, such as family-style, recreational, or personal use handicap vehicles. The components used in the conversion process are for lighter-duty consumer use. Competitors will adapt some commercial use features, such as seating, etc. and suggest that it will perform as a commercial use vehicle. It will not.

Commercial built means the vehicle conversion is built, from the ground-up, to a much higher-volume use standard. The components and construction methods used are intended to withstand the heavy, rigorous, constant use that is encountered daily in a commercial transportation environment.

What does it mean for me?

A commercial built vehicle conversion will deliver consistent and dependable service and will retain its like-new appearance to greet your customers and guests for years to come.

Our commercial built conver­sions will provide at least a 25% longer service cycle, thereby greatly reducing your transportation costs.  Our vehicles offer:

• Commercial interior and seating fabrics

• High-traffic flooring systems

• Heavy-galvanized step entry and bumper boards

• Higher-capacity air conditioning, heating, and electrical systems

Additionally, our commercial built vehicles will command higher resale values.

         A consumer built vehicle must constantly contend with servicing and maintenance issues, premature wear-and-tear, and unhappy passengers and drivers.

         This often results in a shorter vehicle life-cycle and lower resale value.
