In the past, a stowed wheelchair lift in the back of the van could clank and rattle to the point of driving anyone inside to distraction.
Now Unwin, an Autoadapt company, is offering a guaranteed quiet ride with the new BraunAbility Q-series inboard lift.
The new lifts combine the reliability and robustness synonymous with BraunAbility, with a smart design that excels in three dimensions: A quiet ride, structural rigidity and aesthetic design.
Professor Mark French, acoustics expert at Purdue University in Indiana, was enlisted to help design the Q-series and the new inboard lifts are built with a unique Auto-Tite feature that guarantees a quiet ride.
In fact, the Q-Series lifts are so quiet, the noise is indistinguishable from the noise of an empty van.
The Q-series are 10% lighter than its predecessor at 150kg, and are 300% more rigid than any other lifts on the market.
The Safe Working Load is 400kg, 10% higher than that of standard inboard lifts.
A distinct curved design and clever features make life easier for both user and operators.
The ergonomic new pendant has a single rocker switch which lights up when the lift is turned on and additional lights on the platform sides make it highly visible.
