4-person Wheelchair Golf Cart

[Disbug]

Hello, everyone! I remember reading about a person who rented/provided a wheelchair golf cart that was for 4 to 5 people. The neat thing was it would also accommodate a person in a wheelchair. Does anyone remember this? If so could you direct me to the right person? At some time if I find this person, I want to schedule a trip for our family at Fort Wilderness. I think our special needs child would have a hoot going looping with us!

Thanks in advance for all replies!

Can the person transfer easilly? Or are you looking for a wheel chair shuttle?

No, unfortunately she is wheelchair bound. (Getting too heavy to lift). The picture I attached is similar to what I remember....

I am following in, as my DBil is also wheelchair bound and my DH comes home from Disney trips that we take him with us with a sore back from lifting. We have stayed at the Fort with DBil in a HA Cabin and loved it and did not need a golfcart, but the more we go the more relaxed our trips get and we spend more time around the Fort. DH and I always stay at the Fort. Its our second home!

I just hope someone sees this post that remembers who I am talking about. Although the golf carts are not "necessary"... they are part of the fun when staying at Fort Wilderness!

I do remember some posts about building a golf cart to accommodate a wheel chair. I do not remember posts about a rental one.

1) What you pictured is a "common" adaptation.
2) This is the standard 3-bench (extended) golf cart.
3) They just remove the second row
. . . add a ramp
. . . add some tie-downs
. . . add some grab bars
4) But, have never seen one for rent.
5) Not even at GKTW, where chair-bound kids are common. *

I am wracking my brain to try and remember if I actually saw this in FW or read about it online.

Try asking this question on the disabilities thread.
If not, call Kenney (at Tee Time golf cart rentals). If he doesn't have one, I am sure he'd be happy to direct you to someone that does.

I was trying to figure out if transfer was possible. But this was the route I was going to suggest based on the response.

And for known reasons I did not see the picture....work blocks some of the image hosting sites.

Good suggestions everyone... thanks!
