About this file

This is a product specification document for BraunAbility Century Series wheelchair lifts that outlines equipment requirements for commercial vehicle installations compliant with federal accessibility standards. The document details two primary lift models—NCL917IB-2 and NCL919IB-2—both featuring 800-pound lifting capacity, fully automatic NHTSA-compliant operation, and usable platform dimensions of 33" x 51" and 34" x 51" respectively. The lifts are designed for side or rear door applications and accommodate both inboard and outboard wheelchair positioning. Key operational features include electrohydraulic power-up/gravity-down systems, hand-held pendant controls with illuminated functions, dual handrails, integrated backup pump systems for electrical failure scenarios, and Lift-Tite stowing mechanisms. Installation kits are available for multiple vehicle platforms including Dodge Ram Promaster, Ford E-Series and Transit models, Mercedes Sprinter, and GM vehicles, with floor reinforcements meeting 403/404 compliance standards.

The specification establishes comprehensive technical requirements aligned with 49 CFR Part 38 and Americans with Disabilities Act standards, including static load testing to 2,400 pounds minimum, 12-volt power supply operation with maximum 70-amp current consumption, and hydraulic systems operating at maximum 2,495 psi with Univis HVI 26 fluid. All components feature baked-on powder coating with 1,000-hour salt spray corrosion resistance. The document provides detailed dimensional specifications for clearance requirements, platform construction using see-through steel grating, extruded aluminum entrance ramps with rubber leading edges, and integrated platform lighting. Associated accessories and replacement components are listed with corresponding part numbers, and the equipment is manufactured by BraunAbility with ISO 9001:2015 certification.

COMMERCIAL WHEELCHAIR LIFT SPECIFICATIONS - IN COMPLIANCE WITH

United States Department of Transportation Rules and Regulations 49CFR, Part 38.

FROM THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990 and NHTSA Rule 403 (2004) “Provided to make your spec writing easier.”

The wheelchair lift is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 403 for platform lift sys-tems for motor vehicles. The lift shall have been tested to a minimum static load of 2400#. The lift shall have 800# rated lifting capacity. The base plate shall be a corrugated designed member to provide rigidity to minimize lift deflection when placed under load.

The power supply shall be a 12 volt electro-hydraulic system operating two single-acting cylinders.

The hydraulic power pack system shall be of modular design allowing for easy removal and field re-placement, if needed. The operation of the unit shall provide a smooth, jerk-free ride in both up and down directions. The power operation of the hydraulic cylinders shall be of a pull-type design for smooth lifting operation and improved synchronous arm movement. The pivot pins in the trunnion (knuckle) of the pivot arms shall be of stationary design. The hydraulic system shall be regulated by two separate relief valves, one of which is designed to prevent accidental stowing when occupied.

The hand control for lift operation shall be of a one-hand operation design made of durable plastic.

The hand control will provide user with illuminated functions. The hand control cable shall be coiled with quick-change connections for ease of maintenance or field change.

A manual back-up system shall be provided to ensure operation of the lift in case of electrical failure.

The backup system shall provide a reliable means of manually raising and lowering the lift while occupied. The back-up system shall fold and unfold the platform. The back-up pump shall be inte-grated with the hydraulic power pack system such that no hydraulic lines or fittings are required.

The platform shall be of steel construction and the surface shall be of see-through grating allowing for improved visibility and safer use in inclement weather. The platform shall have a minimum usable wheelchair passageway width of 33 inches and a minimum usable length of 51 inches requiring a 57 inch vertical clear door opening. The sides of the platform shall be a minimum of 2.5 inches high.

The platform shall be automatically folded and unfolded and fully automatic in operation. The plat-form shall allow both inboard and outboard facing of wheelchair and mobility aid users. The plat-form entrance ramp shall be extruded aluminum for weight savings, have a rubber leading edge and raised ribs for traction. The outer barrier must not raise if occupied with 25 lbs. The outer barrier shall be the sole outboard wheelchair retention device and shall be interlocked and comply with the FMVSS 403 requirements. Dual handrails shall be provided to add security and convenience. These handrails shall be 1-1/4 inch minimum diameter, minimum 30 inches in height, minimum of 8 inches in length, and withstand a 100# force in any direction (including vertical) without permanent defor-mation. The lift must have a fail safe system to prevent stowing if solenoid welds. The platform shall have “built in” lighting to meet 404 platform lighting requirements with no auxiliary lighting.

All lift components shall be finished with a baked-on powder coating, which will meet a salt spray test of 1000 hours, to provide corrosion resistance and a long service life. BraunAbility Century Series to include but not limited to the following model numbers:

• NCL917IB-2, NCL917FIB-2, NCL919IB-2, NCL919FIB-2
