Wheelchair Lifts
Because your transportation needs may not require a lowered floor van conversion, we now offer a full line of interior and exterior mounted wheelchair lifts. We offer a variety of wheelchair lifts to accommodate your needs from different manufacturers including Braun, Ricon and more. Here are some of the most popular models:
Braun
Millennium II |
Mini-Vangater™ |
Lift-A-Way® |
|
|
|
The Braun Millennium Series™ — developed with versatility in mind. The Millennium Series' flexible design can be installed in a wide variety of new and existing full-size vans. This includes vans without raised doors or tops, providing you with a van option that can still fit in the garage and accommodate most wheelchair sizes.
The Braun Millennium Series™ — designed with safety in mind. The shorter automatic roll stop featured on this lift easily accommodates long chairs and scooters. The 4" outboard roll stop and 2" side plates meet all VA and SAE safety standards. The standard equipped, dual handrails give the user extra security.
The color-coded switches, each with its function clearly marked, allow lift operation to become second nature for the user. The wide, paddle-type rocker design was developed to provide ease of use for individuals with limited dexterity. In case of power failure, the platform can be raised and lowered with the manual back-up pump handle.
Each one of our lifts is backed by our Three-Year Worry-Free Warranty — the best the industry has to offer.

For those looking for accessible transportation in a small package, the Mini-Vangater™ ground-hugging, rigid steel fold-in-half platform gives space-conscious minivan users the luxury and convenience of nearly half a doorway of usable space for loading or unloading. In its folded position, the ultra-compact, left-mounted single post design provides a clearer and safer side view, and allows the front passenger seat to be almost fully reclined.
The Braun Mini-Vangater™ — increased maneuverability. One nice thing about choosing a Mini-Vangater™ is the fact that you'll be driving a minivan to match. That means easier parking, increased maneuverability and higher gas mileage. This not only saves considerably on customized installation costs, but also means your vehicle may retain a higher resale value.
Each lift is equipped with a brake function that eliminates coasting, offering added control and safety to an already safe lift.
The all-electric operating mechanism is completely enclosed to make it cleaner, quieter and more dependable in extreme temperatures. Along with the manual override, the Mini-Vangater™ offers double-backup protection with the auxiliary electric override. So you won't be stranded should your vehicle happen to lose power.
The Mini-Vangater™ has always enjoyed a well-deserved reputation for ease-of-use and service, and for the kind of rugged durability that is so important to our customers. What's more, each one of our lifts is backed by our Three-Year Worry-Free Warranty — the best the industry has to offer.

For nearly 30 years, Braun has set the standard for personal mobility. Braun Lift-A-Way® wheelchair lifts have become synonymous with quality and dependability. The simplicity of design results in easy operation, less maintenance, and a smooth, quiet ride.
The Braun Lift-A-Way® comes in fully automatic and semi-automatic models. The fully automatic model provides independent mobility through total command of raising, lowering, folding and unfolding functions. The semi-automatic model has automatic lowering and raising functions with easy manual folding and unfolding. Both are designed to fit side or rear doors of most domestic and foreign full-size vans and mini vans.
Safety is important to us, because it's so important to you. That's why the Braun Lift-A-Way® has so many safety features such as the special nonskid powder coating and safety yellow roll stop. Our back-up pump is standard on all fully automatic models and is available as an option on semi-automatic models. The fully automatic lift also has an optional side entry platform for ease of loading.
Our modular construction allows for the powder coating of all lift components prior to final assembly. This technology provides the benefit of a finish that is both durable and attractive.
Before a lift leaves the factory, it has been thoroughly tested to ensure consistent operation, and we back the quality of Braun lifts with our three-year Worry-Free Limited Warranty. Rugged daily use, however, is where the Lift-A-Way® proves dependable year after year. It was a great design nearly 30 years ago. It's an even better design today.

The Braun VangaterII™ — a new level of mobility. The original Vangater™ fold-in-half lift was a major innovation giving adapted van users more usable space, convenience, and the luxury of easy loading and unloading. Since then, Braun has continued to refine and produce better, more reliable lifts. We're constantly striving to improve our products because we know how important owning a reliable lift is to our customers. That's why we're so pleased to offer the VangaterII™.
Our solid state electronics are designed for trouble-free operation and the single-function switch control makes the lift more user-friendly. Plus, with the optional remote control system, you control the weather instead of the weather controlling you. You'll also like the double backup protection which is provided by an efficient manual and speedy auxiliary electric override system.
Like most people, you want your van to offer the most available space possible to you and your passengers. The ultra-compact VangaterII™ gives everyone more breathing room and riding comfort. That's because the left-mounted single-post design, which is positioned toward the rear of the vehicle, creates more usable interior space and offers a clearer side view looking out of the van.
The Braun VangaterII™ power tri-folding platform allows use of over half the van's side door for easy ambulatory exit and entry. Plus, most front passenger seats can be reclined to nearly their furthest setting. That means everybody will be able to ride in comfort.
The all-electric drive mechanism is completely enclosed to make it quiet, clean and dependable. Designed to be virtually rattle-free, the VangaterII™ makes traveling a more pleasurable experience. Plus, our standard side-entry platform gives you more maneuverability in tight parking situations.
The reliable VangaterII™ offers next-generation features while complimenting the original Vangater™. And to top it off, it is backed by our exclusive Three-Year Worry-Free Warranty — the best the industry has to offer.

For the first time, van owners can enjoy a completely unobstructed side doorway for ambulatory access the way it was meant to be. With the lift mounted underneath the vehicle, it remains out of sight and out of your way until it is needed. This means easy access, a clear side view and maximum interior space - something your friends and family will appreciate on every trip.
The UVL® — there when you need it. Because it is seamlessly integrated into your vehicle, your passengers will hardly know the UVL is there.

Activated by the optional remote control, the lift glides smoothly from its aluminum, weathertight enclosure, ready to gently raise you to vehicle floor level. The operation is so simple that it will soon become second nature, and the UVL will simply become part of your daily routine.

The Chair Topper® — simplicity of operation. The Chair Topper's universal mounting system ensures that it will fit most automobiles and light trucks. It adds only 22" in height, and may be painted to match your vehicle for a finished, automotive look. A single rocker switch located in a user-friendly hand-held control box operates the folding, lifting and storing of your wheelchair. It takes only 30 seconds to complete the cycle, and the smooth operation ensures your chair is carefully handled and transported without damage or undo wear and tear.
