Get Bruno Wheelchair Lifts And Let’s Get Going

Bruno Independent Living manufactures wheelchair lifts to increase the mobility of the physically challenged. This company started off in the hands of Michael Bruno and his wife a little over two decades ago. Since then, it has expanded into being the top manufacturer for vehicle lifts and stairlifts in North America. Some of the Bruno wheelchair lifts include lifts for scooters, power chairs and manual wheelchairs as well as custom-made stairlifts. Bruno wheelchair lifts are made to accommodate the many different types of vehicles, be it a station wagon, a minivan or a sedan. In fact, Bruno wheelchair lifts are entitled for reimbursement through mobility programs offered by Ford, Toyota, GM and Volkswagen. Furthermore, Bruno’s wheelchair lifts come with a 3 year warranty for parts and a 30-day warranty for labor.

An example of a truly versatile Bruno wheelchair lift is the Bruno Wheelchair-Lifter (Model AWL-100), which has been designed to raise wheelchairs of up to 55 lbs easily and quickly. This wheelchair lift can be used in station wagons, sport utility vehicles, minivans or full-size vans. For rear-door applications, users can opt for the AWL-150 whereas the AWL-160 has been customized for side-door utilization.

All three models of the Bruno wheelchair lifts are powered by electricity from the battery of the vehicle itself. The lift is easy to operate as all the user has to do is to position the folded wheelchair, hook it up with the lift claw and give the UP button a push. The wheelchair can then be lifted and tilted into a horizontal position with the guidance of the user. Once the wheelchair clears the top opening of the trunk, the user can simply give the DOWN button a push, set the wheelchair in place and remove the lift hook.

If you are looking for a wheelchair lift for your power chair, Bruno also produces a catalogue of multiple selections to suit individual preferences. On the other end of the spectrum is the Out Rider, a heavy-duty Bruno wheelchair lift capable of handling up to 300 lbs of folding or rigid wheelchair and power chairs. This is possible through the use of a lifting belt that is 50% stronger than normal lifting belts called the R3 lifting belt.

With a lifting belt like this, latest series of Bruno wheelchair lifts called the Curb-Sider, is also built to lift 400 lb power chairs for easy storage in SUVs, minivans and full-size vans. The wireless remote control also allows users to operate the lift from the curb or from inside the car. An extra feature of the Curb-Sider is that it can automatically rotate a power chair for a better fit into the back of the car. An outer arm that be extended to 12 inches functions lift to a higher height for bigger power chairs.
