Library Link Mobile vehicle specifications

The vehicle is accessed via 4 shallow steps. The steps are quite narrow, as a result of a compromise on depth and design, allowing people to walk up sideways, holding on to a side rail. This makes it easier for people with mobility problems to use the steps if they wish. Due to length and width of the vehicle, a LGV license is not required to drive it. The vehicle is equipped with a lift at the rear.
