Vangater Series – Lift for Wheelchair

The innovative Vangater at once solves the problem of wheelchair access and ambulatory entry with a power tri-folding platform. Over half the wheelchair accessible van's side door is available for easy ambulatory exit and entry when the handicapped lift is in the stowed position. But the touch of a button quickly unfolds the platform, revealing a fully functional wheelchair lift in a compact package.

The BraunAbility Vangater II Series wheelchair lifts are fully electric in operation, for both the fold/unfold and up/down cycles. Lift operation is controlled by the standard hand-held control, the on-lift controls, or the optional remote control.

The Vangater II Series is designed for installation in the side doors of domestic full-size vans to transform a standard full-size van into a wheelchair accessible van. A model is also available for installation in minivans, see your dealer for details. With the compact tri-fold platform, the lift occupies minimal space inside the vehicle.

A Vangater wheelchair lift can be installed in one of two width/length combinations- which you will require depends on whether you will be installing the lift in a full size wheelchair van or a minivan. To ensure the well-being of the wheelchair lift user, the Vangater wheelchair lift incorporates several safety features: an electric roll stop engages before the lift platform will rise from the ground, and a threshold sensor mat inside the wheelchair accessible van warns the user against exiting if the wheelchair lift is not level with the floor of the van.

BraunAbility's high-quality, thoughtfully designed Vangater series wheelchair lifts can transform an ordinary van into an easy-to use wheelchair accessible van. Plus, you can trust BraunAbility's record of experience and professionalism to ensure service and support for your mobility solution long after the sale. We take pride in designing wheelchair accessible vans customized for our customers' needs, so please find a dealer today to discuss your own mobility requirements and which of our wheelchair lift series would work best for you!

Platform

The Vangater Series lifts for wheelchairs offers 30" of usable width, and two platform usable lengths of 43" and 47". (47" platform can only be used in vans with lowered floors)

Outboard Roll Stop

For your safety, the electric roll stop raises to the vertical position before the platform leaves the ground. Special sensors prevent the handicapped lift from raising if the roll stop is not fully engaged.

Hand-Held Control

The standard hand-held controls all lift functions. For greater convenience, an optional remote control system is available.

Folding Platform

With the lift for a wheelchair in the stowed position, over half of the van's side door is available for ambulatory use as well as cargo.

Switch Arm

The lift's switch arm features an up/down control, allowing the wheelchair user to control the handicapped lift while on the platform. The "level" switch adjusts the tilt of the platform as needed.

Control Tower

The control tower features on-lift controls operating every function of the lift for your wheelchair. For your peace-of-mind, a manual back-up system allows you to operate the lift easily, even in the event of vehicle electrical failure.

Threshold Sensor Mat

If the threshold sensor mat is occupied when the handicapped lift platform is below vehicle floor level, lift operation will be prevented, and visual/audible warnings will alert passengers and attendants to unsafe conditions.

Optional Door Operators

The optional automatic door operators give you complete control of your mobility. The doors can be opened and closed with all standard and optional lift for wheelchair controls.
