Our mechanical push/pull brake/accelerator hand control is often combined with other adaptations to assist the driver.
The most common combination of adaptations adds an integral indicator switch and steering aid alongside the hand control but we also regularly install a hinged accelerator pedal. The hinged accelerator pedal creates additional leg room allowing a conventional seating position so is favourable among hand control drivers.
The hinged accelerator pedal can also prevent the accelerator pedal being depressed accidentally but can easily be deployed back down when the vehicle is to be driven using the pedals.
If you have any concerns around your feet accidentally interacting with the brake pedal, a pedal guard can be fitted. A pedal guard can cover both the brake and accelerator pedals but can also be fitted as a brake only guard alongside a hinged accelerator pedal as shown here on a recent install.
Whilst the hinged accelerator pedals are manufactured by ourselves alongside the hand controls, Des Gosling Mobility Ltd manufacturer the pedal guards. Both companies, along with other installers, can fit all the products at the same time meaning you only have to deal with one company to get the whole combination of products.
