The NHTSA-compliant Braun Vista Series offers a unique solution to public mobility. The stacking platform stows below the level of the vehicle's windows, allowing your passengers to enjoy the ride and the view. More importantly, the driver's vision is unobstructed — increasing safety and your peace of mind.
Braun Vista 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 Vista Series features an ergonomic hand-held control with illuminated functions. The control features a "telephone-style" cord, simplifying replacement in the field.
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 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 Vista Series platform stows below the level of the vehicle's windows. The unique stacking action is activated automatically during the fold/unfold cycles.
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 a platform width of 31.5". Two platform lengths of 48" and 50" are available.
There are two maximum floor-to-ground dimensions: 42" and 48". It is rated at 800lb lifting capacity —33% more than the NHTSA requirement
