BraunAbility Millennium 2 Commercial Wheelchair Lift
Millennium Series™ Dual Parallel Arm Lift for School Buses, Cutaways and Paratransit Vans
Proven Hydraulic Performance | Hydraulic Outer Barrier | 800 lb. Capacity | Made in the USA
With dual hydraulic lift arms and a design that has withstood the test of time, the Millennium Series offers all the benefits and trouble-free operation of a BraunAbility ADA lift electrical system, while the hydraulically activated outer barrier keeps the wheelchair safely and securely on the platform throughout the lifting cycle.
BraunAbility’s portfolio contains several Millennium 2 models to suit the right application, including usable platforms of 33″ x 51″, 34″ x 51″, 34″ x 54″ and 37″ x 51″. Models also vary by front or rear pump module and overall floor-to-ground lift height (up to 48″), with or without the handrail belt. See the application guide for a full breakdown of dimensions, or ask our commercial team which model meets your ADA wheelchair lift requirements.

New DPA Refresh Product Features
After many years of consistent performance, the Dual Parallel Arm (DPA) lift has received a thoughtful refresh driven directly by customer feedback, designed to enhance usability and the overall operator experience. The updates apply to both Century and Millennium Series commercial lifts.
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.
