Carodoor

The rear door that opens itself — BraunAbility’s automatic door opener designed to work with Braun rear lifts so the driver is not juggling keys, handles, and a deploying platform at the kerb.

What most people never realise

The lift is only half the workflow — someone still has to open the door.

Rear-entry WAV users often focus on platform size and lift capacity. On the first rainy morning at a busy kerb, the bottleneck is different: one hand on the chair, one hand on the door, and no safe way to hold both. Carers and solo drivers learn awkward workarounds — or they leave the door propped in ways that stress hinges and seals.

Carodoor is not another lift — it is the missing automation layer for Braun rear lifts. It opens and closes the rear door on command, integrated with E-Series and A-Series so the boarding sequence feels like one system. You need Carodoor when rear manual doors slow every deployment; you do not need it if you already have power sliding side doors for a side-entry solution, or if you are lifting an unoccupied chair into the boot with a hoist instead.

In motion

Door and lift — one coordinated sequence.

Watch Carodoor open the rear aperture before the platform deploys — the workflow Maya Mobility integrates on BraunAbility conversions.

01 · Automatic rear opening

No more wrestling the tailgate at the kerb.

Carodoor drives the rear door through its arc — up and out of the way before the lift cycle begins, then closed again when boarding is complete.

02 · Braun lift integration

Designed for E-Series and A-Series — not a generic actuator.

Carodoor speaks the same control language as Braun rear lifts. Maya Mobility wires and commissions the pair so drivers trigger one logical sequence instead of two separate systems fighting for attention.

03 · Remote app option

Open the door from outside — with BraunAbility Remote.

When BraunAbility Remote is fitted, compatible Carodoor functions can be triggered from the app — useful when the driver is at the rear and the keys are in the cab.

System thinking

What Carodoor changes day to day.

Hands free at the door

Carer can focus on the chair while the aperture opens — fewer dropped controls and near-misses.

Matched to Braun lifts

Integration path with E-Series and A-Series — specify as one Maya Mobility conversion package.

Fleet friendly

Shorter stop times when drivers repeat the same rear-entry cycle all day.

Weather & seal care

Controlled door motion reduces hinge strain from manual forcing in wind or on slopes.

Remote compatible

Works within the BraunAbility Remote ecosystem when receiver hardware is installed.

Maya Mobility install & support

Door geometry check, fitment, and commissioning on your chassis — not a DIY bolt-on.

FAQ

Questions before adding Carodoor.

Rear door geometry, hinge layout, and existing lift mounting must be compatible. Send vehicle details and photos — Maya Mobility confirms before quoting.
Not strictly — manual doors work. Carodoor pays off when repeated boarding makes door handling the slow or unsafe step. Retrofit is possible on many Braun lift installations; ask Maya Mobility to assess your vehicle.
Carodoor is BraunAbility’s product for Braun lift integration. Fadiel rear lifts use different control paths — Maya Mobility will recommend the right door automation or workflow for that brand.
Yes, when BraunAbility Remote and the compatible receiver are installed. Maya Mobility can include Remote in the same specification as Carodoor and your lift.
