A-Series

Leading capacity-to-weight ratio

1. Vehicle specific mounting brackets
Each vehicle specific mounting bracket uses the vehicle’s existing hole pattern. This means that you don’t need to drill holes or do complex measuring. Simply find the corresponding holes and bolt the brackets into place.

2. Purpose designed packaging
The A-series lift itself arrives on a pallet with wooden tansport brackets. Remove the transport brackets, then use a forklift to lift the pallet and position the lift between the mounting brackets. In order to get as close as possible to the rear axle, the lift is placed slightly off centre on the pallet.

3. Adjust and tighten
When the lift is in the correct position between the mounting brackets, insert and tighten the bolts in the mounting brackets and their counterparts found in the groove along the cassette side. This design makes it possible to easily adjust the position of the lift if desired. In vehicle models where the wheel axle allows, the lift can either be installed flush with the back of the vehicle or protruding, in order to be used as a step.

Slim pump module

One of the best reasons to use an A-Series lift instead of any other type of lift is that you don’t have to sacrifice the number of seats to install a lift. However, the pump module usually takes at least one seat. For the A-Series, we designed our pump module to be as thin as possible and to be partially hidden behind the panel of the vehicle, so that it takes up even less space.

Another benefit that comes with placing the pump module partly hidden in the vehicle’s wall is that it can be placed where space and seating efficiency is at an optimum level – in the back close to the lift. From a usage perspective, this is quite convenient if the driver needs to manually operate the lift in the event of a power failure in the vehicle.

Handling dirt, gravel and snow    

Grit and grime in mechanical devices can be just as bad as the proverbial spanner in the cogs. But you can’t really ask your passengers to thoroughly clean their wheelchair wheels each time you intend to use the lift. We’ve designed and tested our A-Series lift to minimize the effects of dirt in the machinery. It should work even if you were to shovel gravel into its innards, figuratively speaking.

Exit strategy

The shape of the bottom plate of the cassette is funnelled to provide an easy exit for debris and water.

Roll free friction

All rolling wheels will eventually catch particles causing grit and grime to build up. Our design uses sliding plastic blocks with meticulously cut edges that will plough through any debris, pushing it out of the way and down onto the funnelled bottom plate of the cassette.
