  "textContent": "An access device for vehicles facilitates entry and exit for physically limited. The device may include a platform assembly guided by two mechanisms with differing degrees of freedom, allowing precise movement while accommodating installation tolerances. The device may include a torsion spring lift assist that counterbalances the platform's weight, reducing user effort in transitioning between horizontal and angled positions. The device may also include a transition flap lift assist with a biasing mechanism to ease movement and ensure secure positioning. The device may also include a handle that is unidirectionally coupled to a latch mechanism for smooth one-handed stowage and deployment of the platform. Additionally, an integrated mobility device securement system may span the access device, utilizing rear retractors positioned above the floor weldment's bottom wall and beneath a false floor surface and front retractors embedded in the weldment’s front wall.",
