Vangator II Series®- Single Post Lift
- Description:
- The Braun Vangater II mounts on the left side of the passenger side doors. The operator opens the vehicle's doors and activates the toggle switch to the unfold position. The platform unfolds automatically and stops. The operator releases and reactivates the same switch which enables the unfold function until the platform is horizontal. The bridgeplate will deploy when the platform reaches the horizontal position. The operator once again releases and reactivates the toggle switch enabling the down function. The lift will automatically stop at ground level and deploy the outboard roll stop. After boarding, the operator activates the toggle switch in the stow direction. The outboard roll stop raises up and the platform slightly levels. Then the platform rises, elevating the wheelchair passenger from the ground up to the floor of the van. The lift stops automatically at floor level and deploys the bridgeplate. After the user/passenger has exited the platform, the switch can be activated again to fold and stow the platform.
The lift is powered by a 12 volt electrical motor. A gear-driven ball screw assembly drives the lifting mechanism to raise or lower the platform. It features a powered bridgeplate and outboard roll stop which act as loading and unloading ramps when deployed. - User Requirements:
