01 · Central cavity
Walk inside the lift — push from the front.
The open centre creates standing space for the operator between lateral platform lanes — natural ergonomics for guiding a chair up and into the vehicle.

OPEN BABY LIFT
A compact lift with a central cavity and lateral lanes — the operator walks inside the platform to push the wheelchair, instead of reaching from the pavement behind a closed deck.
What most people never realise
Boarding ergonomics matter as much as platform size.
A flat platform lift assumes the carer can steer the chair onto the deck from behind or the side — fine until the kerb is narrow, the slope is awkward, or the assistant needs to be in front of the chair to guide footrests and anti-tips safely.
OPEN BABY LIFT inverts the usual layout: a central cavity with lateral lanes lets the operator stand inside the lift footprint and push the wheelchair forward — like walking it up a short ramp from within the platform envelope. Choose OPEN BABY LIFT when that inside-push workflow fits your carer and vehicle — not standard BABY LIFT’s conventional compact deck, and not BUTTERFLY’s C-shaped wrap when side/rear closure geometry is the priority instead of walk-through boarding.
02 · Lateral lanes
Wheel paths defined — operator path separate.
Chair wheels track in the side lanes while the carer uses the centre void — less wheel overlap with the assistant’s feet during the critical first metre of boarding.
03 · Low-roof class
Compact stow for height-limited vehicles.
OPEN BABY LIFT targets the same tight vertical envelope as the BABY family — about 32 cm closed — for garages and roof lines that reject taller lift packages.
04 · Rear visibility
Stow geometry that preserves sight lines.
Folded profile keeps rear visibility practical for daily driving — important when the lift lives on a vehicle that is also the family car.
05 · Goods when folded
Platform doubles as load area — when stowed.
The folded platform can carry goods on non-passenger trips — a practical detail for vans that work as wheelchair transport and everyday haulers.

Walk-through design
Why operators choose OPEN BABY over a flat deck.
Inside-push workflow
Operator stands in the cavity — pushes chair forward, not from the pavement edge.
Lateral wheel lanes
Defined tracks for casters — separate from the carer’s standing zone.
32 cm closed
Low stow profile for height-restricted parking.
Silent operation
Quiet deploy and stow — residential-friendly.
Goods when folded
Folded deck usable for cargo between passenger runs.

FAQ
Questions about the walk-through layout.
BABY LIFT is the conventional compact flat platform (~30 cm folded). OPEN BABY LIFT adds the central
cavity for inside-push boarding (~32 cm folded). The choice is ergonomics, not just millimetres of
stow depth.
The design assumes the operator uses the cavity during boarding — not as a passenger during travel.
Maya Mobility explains the approved workflow at handover; always follow the manufacturer operating sequence.
Send carer height and typical standing posture — Maya Mobility verifies cavity dimensions against your chair width
before specification.
Yes — folded geometry supports goods carriage within rated limits. Confirm weight and tie-down practice
with Maya Mobility for mixed-use vehicles.
Want the operator inside the platform — not behind it?
Describe how boarding works today and send chair dimensions. Maya Mobility will confirm OPEN BABY LIFT fitment or suggest BABY LIFT, BUTTERFLY, or another model if the walk-through path is not the right match.
