The plateform also has means for releasably retaining the platform in the latter position. A wheel chair is capable of straddling the platform with its ground engageable wheels on opposite sides of the platform. The wheel chair also has means, e.g. electrically or hydraulically operated means for raising the wheels relative to the seat of the wheelchair so that when the seat is mounted on the platform of the entry system, the wheels can be raised to clear the sill of the door opening when the platform is swung into the motor vehicle.
