BraunAbility Century 2 Commercial Wheelchair Lift - Minnesota

BraunAbility Century 2 Commercial Wheelchair Lift

Century Series™ Dual Parallel Arm Lift for School Buses, Cutaway Buses and Paratransit Vans

Economical | FMVSS 403 Compliant | 800 or 1,000 lb. Capacity | Made in the USA
With dual hydraulic lift arms and a design that has withstood the test of time, the Century Series offers all of the benefits of a BraunAbility wheelchair lift in a streamlined, economical package. The simplified electrical system offers trouble-free operation, while the non-hydraulic spring-loaded roll stop keeps the wheelchair securely on the platform throughout the lifting cycle.

BraunAbility offers the Century 2 in usable platforms of 33″ x 51″, 34″ x 51″ and 34″ x 54″. Models also vary by pump placement (front or rear), lifting capacity (800 lbs., or 1,000 lbs. on NCL1000 models) and overall floor-to-ground lift height (up to 54″), with or without the handrail belt. Review the application guides or ask our commercial team which model fits your vehicle.

New Hand Pendant & Auto-Tite System

User-Friendly Design, Less Drift and Rattle

The redesigned hand pendant is simpler to hold and operate, with illuminated functions. The Auto-Tite system prevents pressure loss during periods of inactivity, reducing platform drift and rattling while the vehicle is in transit.

Curved vertical channels, rounded top parallel arms with plastic end caps and a refreshed appearance round out the update.

Operator Assist LEDs & Center Line

Faster Diagnosis, Easier Loading

An on-board diagnostics panel with Operator Assist LEDs shows at a glance which interlock is open (outboard barrier down, inboard barrier down, threshold occupied), so a broken interlock is diagnosed in seconds instead of a service call. A yellow center line on the platform gives passengers a visual marker for easier, more symmetrical loading.
