The systems comply with the specific railroad and lift standards and are specified together with the customers and adapted to the respective conditions.
The PRM lift for wheelchair users (BW50) enables comfortable boarding and alighting at platforms with different platform heights. The boarding lift is fully automatic. It is ready for use at the push of a button and can also be returned in the same way to its parking position, in which the door opening area is not affected. With a payload of 350kg, it is also capable of transporting heavy electric wheelchairs.
The electric version of the boarding lift is the (BW10 / BG10). Overcoming the different entry heights is easy and comfortable with this PRM lift. The lift is installed in the rail vehicle and is therefore always ready for use. With a payload of 500kg it is able to transport heavy electric wheelchairs and goods. A special feature of the lift is the manual swivel function. With a few hand movements, the lift is ready for use and can also be returned to its parking position, in which the door opening area is not affected.
To allow wheelchair users freedom of movement despite stairs inside the vehicle, the (PW10) was developed. The stairlift is optimally stowed in its parking position and is only unfolded to the size of the platform of 800X1200mm before use. The payload is also 350kg.
Double-deck vehicles require the transport of people or material over one floor. The lift systems (DW10 / DG10 / DG20) were developed for this purpose. Depending on size and design for wheelchair users, service trolleys or bistro boxes. The extremely compact design allows space-saving, flexible installation in the vehicle.
