Explore Our Most Popular Braun Wheelchair Lifters
We offer and install several standout models from Braun, each with unique benefits depending on your layout, budget, and user needs.
Millennium Series
The Braun Millennium Series is designed for heavy-duty use, featuring a solid platform and dual independent roll stops for extra safety during loading and unloading. It’s a favourite in commercial fleets and ideal for frequent use.
Century XT Series
This lift uses a telescoping stack platform that can extend up to 152 cm, yet it folds neatly into medium-sized vehicles when stowed. It’s a great option if you want heavy-duty performance without sacrificing interior space.
UVL (Under Vehicle Lift)
Prefer a hidden solution? The UVL series tucks into the existing step platform or an under-floor compartment, keeping the lifter completely out of sight when not in use. This preserves valuable cabin space and leaves the entry area clear for other passengers.
Vista Series
Visibility is often a concern with internal lifts. The Vista Series stores the lift beneath the window line, offering passengers a full, unobstructed view during travel. It's a clever design that adds aesthetic and practical value.
Vista Split Series
An evolution of the Vista, this lift uses split platform technology that folds neatly to the side walls of the vehicle. The result? Clear visibility, flexible access, and optimal use of space inside the van.
Global Series
Need a more cost-effective option? The Global Series offers a lighter-weight lift that still maintains Braun’s high standards for reliability and performance. Ideal for lower-usage vehicles or tighter budgets.
Wheelchair Restraints & Safety Accessories
Beyond the lifters themselves, we also supply a range of wheelchair restraints to keep the user secure during transit. These include:
- Q’Straint Systems
- Self-retracting restraints
- Manual belt systems (M-Series, Q-Series)
Proper restraint systems are just as critical as the lift. Our team will guide you through the best configuration for your vehicle and user requirements.
Professional Installation & After-Hours Support
All installations are carried out at our Adelaide, SA workshop by qualified technicians. Every system is fitted to comply with Australian Design Rules (ADR), and we can provide engineer certification if required for commercial registration.
For added convenience, we offer after-hours installation services by request, ensuring minimal disruption to your work or family schedule.
