Wheelchair lift

Denotes a cassette lift for passenger transport vehicles mounted on the door opening below the lifting platform, which is mounted in a cassette-like housing beneath the floor of the vehicle or within the vehicle chassis.

This device is used to lift persons with wheelchair from the road surface to the height of the inside the vehicle floor, and then allow them the access to the car interior. These will extend the platform and lowered with the fact driven wheelchair, including the fact seated person or lifted reversed and retracted after leaving under the chassis.

Cassette lifts can be mounted on the rear door or side door of vans, Großraumvans, high roof station wagons or vans. However, the vehicle must also be suitable in an individual case with regard to bearing height and ground clearance. The installation of a cassette lift therefore still requires the testing and approval by accredited automotive experts ( DEKRA, GTÜ, CTW, TÜV).

It is driven primarily by the vehicle electrical system, which can be used as secondary drive elements and hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder with the corresponding auxiliary equipment ( pumps, etc. ) are used.
