The NHTSA-compliant Braun Century Series is an economical alternative for transit fleets. Designed to fit a variety of applications, this dependable lift series will keep you up and running and on schedule.
Braun Century Series lifts are fully-compliant with all requirements of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Several mechanisms integrated into the design of the lift ensure a safe operating environment for passengers and attendants alike.
The spring-loaded outer barrier engages as the lift platform leaves the ground. It is powder-coated yellow for safety and high visibility.
To ensure the safety of wheelchair users and attendants, lift operation is prevented if the locking inboard barrier is occupied or is unable to come to its fully upright position.
If the threshold warning plate is occupied when the lift platform is below vehicle floor level, lift operation will be prevented, and visual/audible warnings will alert passengers and attendants to unsafe conditions.
Integrated lighting fully illuminates the lift platform during all stages of operation.
As with all Braun lifts, the Century Series features an ergonomic hand-held control with illuminated functions. The control features a "telephone-style" cord, simplifying replacement in the field when necessary.
Prior to assembly, each lift component is subjected to
a five-stage wash before receiving a baked-on powder-coated finish. The end result is a lift that will withstand the harshest of environments, from desert sun to northern winters.
The Century Series lifts are built with adjustable features that ensure a "rattle-free" environment. Strategically placed rubber bumpers guarantee that the lift remains tightly stowed and quiet during transit
The compact hydraulic pump module can be rear or front-mounted depending on installation requirements. The molded cover can easily be removed for routine maintenance or to access the manual back-up pump.
The patented Lift-Tite latches prevent platform "drift" when the lift is stowed and unused for longer periods of time. The latches automatically engage to prevent the platform from unfolding and causing possible damage to the vehicle's doors.
The Braun Century Series lifts are fully hydraulic in operation, for both the fold/unfold and up/down cycles. Lift operation is controlled by the hand-held pendant control. It is available in platform widths of 33" and 34". The standard platform length for all models is 51".
