E-Series Lift

The Essential Wheelchair Lift

The E-Series is the next generation workhorse from a brand that is synonymous with high-quality wheelchair lifts. Trusted for over 40 years, BraunAbility has reinvented the wheelchair lift. A modern take on simple, effective and reliable. But there’s one thing about the E-Series that is more than meets the eye. Its superior platform stability.

Platform Types

The E-Series wheelchair lifts come in three different platform types, Folding, Split and Solid. They are all well-proven platform types that have their own benefits. Choose the platform type that best suits your application.

Folding Platform

As the name suggests this platform type folds horizontally when stowed. Effectively making a long platform, short when stowed and thereby making it possible to install in a vehicle with a low roof. This is useful for longer mobility devices that need the extra platform space, such as scooters and power chairs. Another use of the folding design is to keep the stowed platform below the rear window. This way the vehicle's driver and passengers can have an unblocked view through the window.

Split Platform

This platform type stows by splitting down the middle with each part folding up against the side of the vehicle. In its stowed position the wheelchair lift is out of the way and out of sight. This means that the vehicle's entrance can always be used to get in and out of the vehicle and does not block the exit in case of an emergency evacuation. The vehicle floor to lift threshold is the lowest on the market making loading easy and reduces the risk of tripping to a minimum.

Solid Platform

The perhaps most classic design of a wheelchair lift platform. As the solid platform has less moving parts than other platform types, there's also less adjustments during installation. Its short depth, leaves more space for seats inside the vehicle. The solid platform is designed for side and rear door installation.

Tested and approved

The normal service life of a wheelchair lift is usually less than 10,000 cycles. For decades all BraunAbility inboard lifts have been tested to meet our internal requirement of 32,000 cycles, and the E-Series is no exception. In addition to this, we have also tried to closely simulate real-world conditions. We’ve stressed the base plate welds to a maximum by performing cycle testing on both rigid and flexible floors.
