What Is the Bruno Curb-Sider Scooter Lift?

The Bruno Curb-Sider provides a convenient way to transport an unoccupied scooter or power wheelchair without manually lifting it into your vehicle. Simply connect the mobility device to the docking system, operate the hand-held pendant, and guide the device into the vehicle.

The Curb-Sider is available for a variety of vehicles, including minivans, SUVs, crossovers, pickup trucks, and full-size vans. Vehicle compatibility and installation requirements vary, so contact Access Mobility Vans to determine whether the Curb-Sider is appropriate for your vehicle.
