01 · Dual parallel arms
Two arms, one stable path.
Parallel lifting arms keep the platform level and controlled through the full cycle — less sway at the kerb, more confidence for the occupant and the assistant guiding the chair on.

BraunAbility E-Series
The rear lift families and fleet operators reach for when the user stays in a wheelchair — dual parallel arms, low threshold, mesh non-slip platform, and the safety details European standards expect.
What most people never realise
Rear lifts are not all the same — and not everyone needs the biggest one.
If the wheelchair user boards through the back of a van or minibus and stays seated for the journey, a rear platform lift is usually the right tool. Families sometimes jump to a side-door lift or a lowered floor first — excellent when parking and bodywork allow — but rear entry keeps the cabin layout simple and suits many WAV and taxi conversions.
BraunAbility E-Series sits in the premium rear-lift lane: parallel arms for stable travel, yellow handrails to EN 1756-2, roll-stop and safety hooks, optional LED lighting and Carodoor pairing. Choose E-Series when you want Braun engineering with Maya Mobility installation and ongoing support — not a compact Fadiel baby lift for low roofs, and not the fleet-focused A-Series built for European public transport duty cycles.
In motion
See E-Series deploy and stow.
Watch the platform unfold, the roll-stop engage, and the lift return flush to the vehicle — the motion carers and drivers repeat every day.
02 · Yellow handrails
Visible grab points — EN 1756-2 class.
High-visibility yellow handrails give carers and ambulatory users something solid to hold while the platform moves — aligned with European lift safety expectations, not an afterthought bolt-on.
03 · Low threshold
Less ramp angle at the door line.
A low threshold reduces the effective climb onto the platform — meaningful for manual chairs, heavier occupants, and drivers who board from sloped parking bays.
04 · Mesh non-slip surface
Grip that drains — not a slick plate.
Open mesh tread sheds water and debris instead of trapping them under the wheels — the sort of detail that matters on wet days and in fleet wash cycles.
05 · Roll-stop & safety hooks
Hold the chair before you move.
Roll-stop barriers and safety retention hooks address the moment everyone worries about — wheels at the platform edge while the lift is in motion.
06 · Hand pendant & Remote app
Control at the door — or from your phone.
A wired hand pendant is standard for everyday operation. Add BraunAbility Remote when you want app control of the lift (and compatible accessories) from outside the vehicle.
Platform options
Folding, split, or solid — match how you use the rear opening.
Three platform architectures share the same E-Series lift mechanics. Maya Mobility helps you pick based on rear door width, internal headroom when stowed, and whether you need a full-width solid deck for larger chairs.
Folding
Bi-fold platform — compact stow profile.
Split
Split platform — balance width and rear closure.
Solid
One-piece deck — maximum usable platform area.
Built for real vehicles
Details BraunAbility owners notice after the first month.
LED lighting (optional)
Illuminate the platform and approach area for early-morning or night boarding.
Crash protection
Engineered with vehicle safety testing in mind — not a bolt-on afterthought.
Carodoor compatible
Pair with automatic rear door opening so one control sequence handles door and lift.
BraunAbility Remote ready
Optional app control for lift functions when the receiver kit is fitted.
EN 1756-2 handrails
Yellow grab rails sized and positioned for European accessibility expectations.

FAQ
Questions before specifying E-Series.
E-Series targets private WAV, taxi and care conversions with Braun’s rear-lift feature set. A-Series is
engineered for European public-transport duty — quick install, high power-to-weight, Sprinter-class
fleets. Tell us your use case and we will steer honestly.
Folding suits tight stow envelopes. Split balances width with rear closure. Solid gives the largest
continuous deck for bigger chairs. Send rear opening dimensions and chair footprint — Maya Mobility will
recommend.
Yes, with BraunAbility Remote and the compatible receiver fitted. The hand pendant remains for everyday
use; the app helps when you are outside the vehicle at the rear.
Yes — Carodoor is Braun’s automatic rear door opener designed to integrate with Braun lifts. Maya Mobility can
specify and install both as a matched system.
No. A boot hoist lifts a folded chair or scooter into the luggage area while the user transfers to a
car seat. E-Series carries the occupied wheelchair into the passenger compartment.
