Wheelchair Lift and Scooter Lift Guide for Vans - BraunAbility

Wheelchair Lift and Scooter Lift Guide

Many factors will influence your decision when it comes to buying a wheelchair lift. A major consideration, of course, will be the type of wheelchair or scooter used by you or your loved one.

Whether it's a scooter, manual wheelchair or power wheelchair, BraunAbility has the right wheelchair lift to fit your needs. Our wide variety of lifts for wheelchairs and scooters ranges from the innovative Under Vehicle Wheelchair Lift (UVL) to the economical Century Series.

The UVL is an electric wheelchair lift that uses hydraulic power to operate. Mounted underneath your vehicle, the UVL offers a state-of- the-art solution for your mobility needs.

Another great lift option is the Vangater Series, which features a tri- folding platform that unfolds at the touch of a button.

Are you focused on durability? The Millennium Series features a fully hydraulic side-entry platform that's built for domestic full-size vans.

Our Century Series lifts offer all that you'd expect from a BraunAbility wheelchair lift in an economical package with dual hydraulic lifting arms.

Wheelchair users who are able to transfer into a vehicle can benefit from our unique Chair Topper, a custom wheelchair carrier that fits on top of your vehicle.

Loved ones who need a little extra help boarding a minivan can greatly benefit from our Companion Seat. Designed to fit into General Motors, Ford and Chrysler minivans, the Companion Seat tilts forward and extends out from the door for safe and convenient boarding.

So which Braun wheelchair lift product is right for you?

Vehicle accessibility for other passengers is an important factor to consider. If multiple wheelchair or scooter users will be sharing the same vehicle, then a tri-folding lift or an under vehicle lift might work best.

The type of vehicle you'll be using – whether a car, van or motor home – will also impact the type of BraunAbility wheelchair lift that can be installed. Your BraunAbility dealer will consider your mobility goals, and can help you choose a solution that fits both your needs and your budget.

We've got a nationwide network of dealers who are committed to helping you find the wheelchair or scooter lift that's right for you. They'll consider your mobility goals as they help you choose a solution that matches both your needs and budget.

Under Vehicle Wheelchair Lift

The UVL, or Under Vehicle Lift®, is the wheel chair lift for those who demand the best of everything. With these wheel chairlifts mounted underneath the vehicle, they remain out of sight and out of your way until needed. That means easy access for ambulatory passengers and cargo, a clear side view for the driver while traveling and maximum interior space for passengers – something your friends and family will appreciate on every trip.

Folding Platform Wheelchair Lift

With its power tri-folding platform, the Vangater Series solves the problem of wheelchair access and ambulatory entry. Over half the van's side door is available for easy ambulatory access when the wheelchair 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. For passenger comfort, the front seat can recline fully – a feature unique to wheelchair lifts mounted inside the vehicle.

Side-Entry Wheelchair Lift

The Millennium Series is the true workhorse of the BraunAbility line. Those who appreciate a strong, stable lifting platform and time-tested durability can choose this wheel chair lift series with confidence. Thoughtful features include the standard side-entry platform, which allows boarding in tight parking situations. With so much riding on your personal mobility, you can't afford to take chances. Trust the Millennium Series wheel chair lifts to get you there on time, every time.

Economical Wheelchair Lift

With dual hydraulic lift arms and a design that has withstood the test of time, the Century Series offers all of the benefits of a BraunAbility wheelchair lift in a streamlined, economical package. The simplified electrical system offers trouble-free operation, while the non-hydraulic spring-loaded roll stop keeps your chair securely on the wheelchair lift platform throughout the lifting cycle.

Car-Top Carrier for Standard Folding Wheelchairs

If you are able to transfer from your standard folding wheelchair, the Chair Topper is a unique solution to your personal mobility. Designed to fit a wide varied of automobilies, it automatically folds and stores a conventional folding wheelchair inside a stylish, weather-resistant car-top compartment.

Handicapped Accessible Seat for Minivans

The perfect companion: someone who's there when you need them the most. The BraunAbility Companion Seat is just that - it stands ready to assist you or a family member when extra help is needed boarding your domestic minivan.
