Let’s uncover details on the refreshed wheelchair lifts from BraunAbility.
DPA Wheelchair Lift Updates:
Enhanced features include:
- Hand-controlled remote with illuminated function buttons
- AutoTite* to prevent pressure loss and rattling while idle
- Lighter weight for quicker service of hose/wiring
*AutoTite is a new feature that automatically manages the lift stow position. If drifting is detected, the lift will automatically re-stow to prevent rattling during transit. If the lift-stowed input is not enabled, the other lift functions will continue to operate as normal. AutoTite requires a 403-shift interlock input and a lift-stowed input to operate.
Design improvements include:
- A pump design that prevents the platform from folding in use
- Options for platform width and length
- Dual handrails for security and convenience
- Resistant high-gloss powder-coated finish
- Durable rubber nose guard on platform
Specifications:
- The maximum floor-to-ground travel is 48 inches
- 800-lb lifting capacity
- Lift-integrated FMVSS 404 lighting
- Fully automatic FMVSS 403 compliant
Operators and riders will also benefit from more safety improvements like:
- Visual and audible warnings to notify the operator of unsafe conditions
- Powder-coated yellow paint for higher visibility
Overall, the lifts are more ergonomic, easier to troubleshoot, and are safer for both the operator and rider.
