Full-Size, Commercial ADA Wheelchair Lifts
For Sale & Installation

Full-size, commercial ADA wheelchair lifts are commonly found on handicap accessible school buses, full-size vans, transit buses, paratransit shuttles, trains, and other public mass vehicles. So what makes ADA wheelchair lifts special? It’s all about their lifting capacity and their safety & design! Commercial wheelchair lifts are generally rated with lifting capacities of 800 lbs. to 1000 lbs. Consumer wheelchair lifts don’t come close to the lifting power!

The larger lifting capacity is accomplished through the utilization of a two-point lifting mechanism of the platform. Because of this design, you may also hear this type of lift called a dual-post lift. This dual-post design allows for increased wheelchair lifting capacity, more significant vertical travel, and a much larger wheelchair platform to accommodate the largest wheelchairs and power-wheelchairs.

The largest manufacturer of commercial ADA wheelchair lifts is BraunAbility. They provide the majority of lifts found in commercial ADA wheelchair vans and have several lift types and models available based on need. 

It’s important to note that you do your homework if you are transporting individuals who use wheelchairs. First and foremost, if you are shopping for a new ADA wheelchair lift, be sure it has been approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). NHTSA is the sole governing body regulating commercial wheelchair lift manufacturing and their use, safety, and reliability.
