- Features & Accessories
- Manuals and Videos
With dual hydraulic lift arms and a design that has withstood the test of time, the Millennium Series offers all the benefits and trouble-free operation of a BraunAbility ADA lift electrical system, while the hydraulically activated outer barrier keeps the wheelchair safely and securely on the wheelchair lift platform throughout the lifting cycle.
BraunAbility's portfolio contains several models of the Millennium 2 Wheelchair Lift to address the right application, including usable platforms of 33" x 51", 34" x 51", 34” x 54” and 37" x 51". The models also vary based on the placement of the front or rear pump module, the lifting capacity (800 pounds), and the overall floor-to-ground lift height (up to 48"). The Millennium 2 Wheelchair Lift is available with or without the handrail belt. See your BraunAbility dealer for lift models available for your specific application that meet ADA wheelchair lift requirements. For a full breakdown of dimensions, please see the application guide. The DPA Refresh video features a Century Series lift to highlight updated features now available across both Century and Millennium series lifts. The Century NDCC model is not included in these updates.

Commercial Wheelchair Lift Specifications
COMMERCIAL WHEELCHAIR LIFT SPECIFICATIONS - IN COMPLIANCE WITH United States Department of Transportation Rules and Regulations 49CFR, Part 38. FROM THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990 and NHTSA Rule 403 (2004) “Provided to make your spec writing easier.”
The wheelchair lift is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 403 for platform lift systems for motor vehicles. The lift shall have been tested to a minimum static load of 2400#. The lift shall have 800# rated lifting capacity. The base plate shall be a corrugated designed member to provide rigidity to minimize lift deflection when placed under load.
The power supply shall be a 12 volt electro-hydraulic system operating two single-acting cylinders. The hydraulic power pack system shall be of modular design allowing for easy removal and field replacement, if needed. The operation of the unit shall provide a smooth ride in both up and down directions. The power operation of the hydraulic cylinders shall be of a pull-type design for smooth lifting operation and improved synchronous arm movement. The pivot pins in the trunnion (knuckle) of the pivot arms shall be of stationary design. The hydraulic system shall be regulated by two separate relief valves, one of which is designed to prevent accidental stowing when occupied.
The wheelchair lift shall incorporate an automatic stow pressure verification system that, upon vehicle ignition and with required interlock conditions satisfied, activates the hydraulic pump as needed to achieve a fully stowed condition and minimize in-transit movement and noise. The automatic pressure sensing system shall require a 403 shift interlock input and a stowed lift input to operate.
The hand control for lift operation shall be of a one-hand operation design made of durable plastic. The hand control will provide user with illuminated functions. The hand control cable shall be coiled with quick-change connections for ease of maintenance or field change. The hand control shall include an internal magnet for magnetic attraction to ferrous metal surfaces.
A manual back-up system shall be provided to ensure operation of the lift in case of electrical failure. The backup system shall provide a reliable means of manually raising and lowering the lift while occupied. The back-up system shall fold and unfold the platform. The back-up pump shall be integrated with the hydraulic power pack system such that no hydraulic lines or fittings are required.
The platform shall be of steel construction and the surface shall be of see-through grating allowing for improved visibility and safer use in inclement weather. The platform shall have a minimum usable wheelchair passageway width of 33 inches and a minimum usable length of 51 inches requiring a 57 inch vertical clear door opening. The sides of the platform shall be a minimum of 2.5 inches high. The platform shall be equipped with one or more yellow lines centered laterally and partially extending the length of the platform to provide visual assistance during passenger loading and unloading.
The platform shall be automatically folded and unfolded and fully automatic in operation. The platform shall allow both inboard and outboard facing of wheelchair and mobility aid users. The platform entrance ramp shall be extruded aluminum for weight savings, have a rubber leading edge and raised ribs for traction. The outer barrier shall be hydraulically activated, and must be in the vertical (deployed) position prior to platform movement. The outer barrier must not raise if occupied with 25 lbs. The outer barrier shall be the sole outboard wheelchair retention device and shall be interlocked and comply with the FMVSS 403 requirements. Dual handrails shall be provided to add security and convenience. These handrails shall be 1.25 inch minimum diameter, minimum 30 inches in height, minimum of 8 inches in length, and withstand a 100# force in any direction (including vertical) without permanent deformation. The lift must have a fail safe system to prevent stowing if solenoid welds. The platform shall have “built in” lighting to meet 404 platform lighting requirements with no auxiliary lighting. The platform lighting shall dim during the fold/unfold sequence and maintain full brightness to meet 404 platform lighting requirements when the platform is at or below floor level.
Obstruction indicator lights shall be present on a wheelchair lift vertical channel to indicate obstructions in the following areas: Outboard Barrier, Inboard Barrier, and Threshold Plate. The obstruction indicators shall only be active when the platform is at or below floor level.All lift components shall be finished with a baked-on powder coating, which will meet a salt spray test of 1000 hours, to provide corrosion resistance and a long service life.
