BraunAbility Under Vehicle Lift® (UVL®)

Under-Vehicle Wheelchair Lift for Full-Size Vans

Out of Sight | Unobstructed Doorway | Maximum Interior Space
The BraunAbility Under Vehicle Lift (UVL®) is a wheelchair lift designed for installation at the side door of full-size vans. The lift is mounted beneath the vehicle in a weathertight enclosure, remaining out of sight and out of the way for other passengers until it is needed again. That means easy access for everyone, room to load any and all cargo, a clear side view for the driver while traveling and maximum interior space for passengers.

The UVL® Series features a longer 48″ platform to accommodate larger wheelchairs and scooters while still using the original doorway height. The lift is hydraulic in operation, with every function controlled by the standard handheld control or an optional remote for both the in/out cycle and the outboard roll stop.

Key Features of the BraunAbility UVL

Built to Stringent Safety Standards

Inboard Roll Stop. The automatic inboard roll stop serves as a bridge from the platform to the vehicle floor. As a safety feature, platform operation is prevented if the inboard roll stop is occupied.

Handheld Control. The standard handheld control regulates every lift function. For greater convenience, an optional remote control system is available.

Hydraulic Power System. The hydraulic power system is mounted inside the vehicle, out of the elements. In the event of vehicle electrical failure, the UVL can be operated with the manual backup pump.

Threshold Warning Plate. A sensor installed at the entrance to the lift. If the plate is engaged while the platform is below vehicle floor level, lift operation is prevented and visual and audible warnings alert passengers and attendants.
