Braun Wheelchair Lifts


By Andrew Kelly

Wheelchair lifts can be purchased from a number of online vendors. Acorn Stairlifts is a website that sells and operates globally. They provide both stairlifts and wheelchair lifts to ease daily difficulties for differently-abled people.

The Braun Corporation makes four consumer lines of wheelchair lifts. They have the Millenium Series, the UVL Series, the Vangater II Series and the Vista Series. The founder of the company was confined to a wheelchair by the age of 13. He worked on solving his own mobility issues and then started solving those issues for others with things like powered wheelchairs and wheelchair lifts.

The Millennium Series of Braun wheelchair lifts is the true workhorse of the Braun line. These wheelchair lifts are designed for installation in the side or rear doors of domestic full-size vans. There are three standard models with platform lengths up to 51 inches to ensure that there are wheelchair lifts to fit your needs. The Millennium Series of Braun wheelchair lifts use dual hydraulic lifting arms for strength and dependability.

The Under Vehicle Lift Series (UVL) of Braun wheelchair lifts offers innovative solutions to personal mobility. When wheelchair lifts are mounted underneath a vehicle, they remain out of sight and out of the way until they are needed. What this means for the consumer is easy access, a clear side view and maximum interior space. These are the reasons why the Under Vehicle Lift Series (UVL) of Braun wheelchair lifts are appreciated by traveling companions on every trip.

The Vangater Series of Braun wheelchair lifts solves the problem of wheelchair access and ambulatory entry. These wheelchair lifts do that with a power tri-folding platform. Over half of a van's side door is available for easy ambulatory exit and entry when the wheelchair lift is in the stowed position. All it takes to unfold the platform and reveal the Vangater Series of Braun wheelchair lifts is the touch of a button.

The Vista Series of Braun wheelchair lifts offer more unique solutions for personal mobility. The stacking platform of these wheelchair lifts stow below the level of the vehicle's windows. This allows enjoyment of both the ride and the view. The most important aspect of The Vista Series of Braun wheelchair lifts is that the driver's vision is not obstructed. This increases both safety and peace of mind.
