What Is the BraunAbility Vangater Series Wheelchair Lift?

The BraunAbility Vangater Series is an interior-mounted wheelchair lift designed to provide wheelchair access while preserving convenient entry for ambulatory passengers. Its tri-folding platform folds into a compact configuration when not in use, helping keep the lift out of the way inside the van.

This design makes the Vangater an option for compatible vehicles where wheelchair accessibility and everyday passenger convenience are both important.

BraunAbility Vangater Wheelchair Lift Features

Tri-Folding Platform

The Vangater features a tri-folding platform designed to fold into a compact space when the lift is stowed and unfold when wheelchair access is needed.

Convenient Push-Button Operation

With the touch of a button, the platform deploys to provide wheelchair lift access, making operation convenient for users and caregivers.

Ambulatory Doorway Access

When stowed, the lift leaves more than half of the van’s side doorway available, allowing ambulatory passengers to enter and exit without navigating around a fully deployed lift.

Interior-Mounted Design

The lift mounts inside the vehicle, providing wheelchair access while keeping the platform contained within the van’s interior when stowed.

Front Passenger Seat Recline

The interior-mounted configuration allows the front passenger seat to recline fully in compatible installations, supporting passenger comfort.

How Does the BraunAbility Vangater Series Work?

The Vangater uses a powered mechanism to unfold its tri-folding platform when wheelchair access is required. The wheelchair user can then be raised or lowered between ground level and the vehicle’s floor, according to the lift’s operating instructions.

After use, the platform folds into its stowed position, helping preserve access through the side doorway. Always follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and safety requirements.
