The Braun Mini-Vangater™—big on features, small in size. For those
looking for accessible transportation in a small package, the
Mini-Vangater™ is the answer to your needs. The fold-in-half
platform gives space-conscious minivan users the luxury and
convenience of nearly half a doorway of usable space for loading
or unloading. In its folded position, the ultra-compact,
left-mounted single post design provides a clearer and safer side
view, and allows the front passenger seat to be almost fully
reclined.
The
Braun Mini-Vangater™—increased maneuverability. One nice thing
about choosing a Mini-Vangater™ is the fact that you'll be driving
a minivan to match. That means easier parking, increased
maneuverability and higher gas mileage. Plus, the vast majority of
lifts are installed in stock vehicles, thus not requiring any
major modifications. This not only saves considerably on
customized installation costs, but also means your vehicle may
retain a higher resale value.
The Braun Mini-Vangater™—safety first. The Mini-Vangater's
ground-hugging, fold-in-half platform is made of rigid steel, with
a baked-on powder-coat finish that adds to the durability and
rust-resistance. Each lift is equipped with a brake function that
eliminates coasting, offering added control and safety to an
already safe lift. Plus, our bracketing system speeds up
installation time and makes it easier to remove the lift if you
purchase a new vehicle.
The
Braun Mini-Vangater™—reliable design. The all-electric operating
mechanism is completely enclosed to make it cleaner, quieter and
more dependable in extremes of hot or cold temperature. Along with
the manual override, the Mini-Vangater™ offers double-backup
protection with the auxiliary electric override. This provides
emergency circuit bypass, applying power directly to the lift
motor when you need it most. So you won't be stranded should your
vehicle happen to lose power.
The Braun Mini-Vangater™—built-in quality. The Mini-Vangater™ has
always enjoyed a well-deserved reputation for ease of use and
service, and for the kind of rugged durability that is so
important to our customers. What's more, each one of our lifts is
backed by our Three-Year Worry-Free Warranty - the best the
industry has to offer. And, no matter where your travels take you,
you can count on quality service and support from our worldwide
dealer network.

SYSTEM OPERATION
The operator opens the vehicle's door and activates the
platform fold/unfold switch to bring the platform to the
horizontal position. For boarding, the lift is lowered to
ground level by activating the lift up/down switch. After
boarding, the front roll stop automatically engages as the
platform is raised.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The lift is powered by a 12 volt electric motor. A worm gear
driven ball screw assembly drives the lifting mechanism to
raise or lower the platform. The platform is of strong
tubular steel construction, with a non slip expanded metal
surface. It incorporates a passively activated front roll
stop which acts as the loading and unloading platform, with
side panels.
LIFT CONTROLS
The lift is controlled by a standard handheld pendant
control with two switches controlling the operation of the
lift: up/down and fold/unfold. Optional controls include: a
handrail switch controlling the up/down function,
dash-mounted toggle switch controls, a dash-mounted
touch-pad control, taillight magnetic switches, a rear
exterior control with key lock.
DOOR OPERATORS
Optional automatic door operator kits are available for all
minivans except the Ford Windstar and Chevy Venture. The
Mini-Vangater™ is not available for the Ford Windstar with
OEM power door.
