Yes I think the partner is exactly the same. I've also grounded my bumper etc. Seems mad to spend money on a fishing wagon, but even more mad ruining a lovely car.

Gerry,
They are lower at the back. i can measure if needed
I have a 2001 Kangoo
On newer models you can get additional springs to help the load level
But very handy for everything

Have you had any problems with grounding / clearance at all?
I was also looking at disability vehicles for the new year, but if they suffer on speed humps / uneven tracks, i might need a van instead.
cheers

Just buy a motor cycle ramp and use a standard van. No weight issues or ground clearance problems, better security solutions and a lot more to choose from.

If concerned about the load lowering the vehicle too much have a look at coil spring assisters on Ebay etc.
I used them many years ago on a different vehicle, worked very well.
Berlingos can take lot of weight.

Piece of scaffold plank works for me.

the back does ground out every now and then but its got to be grounding on the floorpan more or less at the same time.
I did ground the back once on the road, although i did have 350kg of paving slabs in the back with 75kg of sand / cement and 20ltrs dulux lol.
2 up in the front also and full tank
it was a bouncy bit on the A47 to leicester, the car behing did back off a little, think it was the sparks
edit
As for security issues, people tend not to leave stuff in vans after its been stolen the first time, i certainly wouldn't

Called it Skippy Gerry,
Amazing little car, starts first time every time and will do nearly 40 on a run unless you drive it like a **** (me)
weighs nothing and keeps up with traffic no probs
sort of car you can park anywhere and doesnt matter if it gets dinged

. . .would a wheelchair conversion vehicle be lower than a BMW MSport estate . .? They look positively elevated to me but I'll stand corrected - is there a variant that retains more overall clearance?

Same with my old Mondeo estate. Could just chuck the explorer barrow in the back and unscrew the handles, job done! The only reason I got rid was it was atrocious on fuel (2.0L) and the exhaust started blowing
