Thank you very much Maria, I’m sure I’ll be getting all my future needs from you where you are able to supply me.
I am happy to confirm that we are satisfied with the changes, more importantly, the changes along with the overall bathroom modifications work very well for Lauren.
I highly recommend Gilani Mobility. I’m extremely happy with the quality of their work. Ray’s excellent problem solving helped my unique needs.
Lift power in a small package
The Gilani Engineering A-Series lift is developed for the European public transport market. Its key design features are quick installation, high lift power to weight ratio, reliability and ease of service. The cassette form factor has several benefits.
Since it is mounted under the floor, it allows for maximum flexibility in the vehicle’s flooring layout. Another benefit of this is in the event of an emergency, where other types of lifts could be a potential obstruction to the only exit.
We’ve focused on making our lift as light and as strong as possible, but why? Well, when you put a significant amount of weight behind the rear wheel axle it changes how the vehicle behaves, quite a lot. A heavy rear load could cause oversteering and other issues that make driving the vehicle an unnerving experience.
Also, depending on the vehicle, a lightweight lift might be just the trick to get that one extra seat in – and still comply with regulations.
Another benefit of low weight is of course fuel consumption. Not just from an economic perspective, but even more important, keeping the environmental impact down to an absolute minimum.
| BraunAbility A-Series | 350kg / 149kg = 2.35 |
| Lift manufacturer 1 | 300kg / 170kg = 1.76 |
| Lift manufacturer 2 | 300kg / 170kg = 1.76 |
| Lift manufacturer 3 | 350kg / 202kg = 1.73 |
| Lift manufacturer 4 | 300kg / 180kg = 1.66 |
The comparison shows lifting capacity divided by fitted weight. The data was acquired in April 2016 from the marketing material of each respective manufacturer.
For us, a reliable lift will do its job regardless if it is used several times a day or just once a year. It should be able to withstand the wear and tear that comes with public transport; dirt, water, extreme temperatures as well as the passage of time. Naturally, we applied this design philosophy to the A-Series wheelchair lifts.
Testing
| Cycle test approved (32,000) | |
| Salt spray test approved | |
| EMC test approved | |
| E5 Type approved | |
| Climate test approved |
Standards
| EN 1756 compliant | |
| ASTM B117-11 compliant | |
| ECE R-10 compliant |
For simplicity, only three buttons are used to control the lift. Clear visuals on each button indicate its function.
The A-Series is also compatible with our Remote app that lets you control the lift via your smartphone.

For quick and easy installation, we have mounting brackets for a majority of the minibusses available today. Our mounting brackets use the existing hole pattern in each specific chassis. In other words, you do not have to drill any holes in order to attach our cassette lift to the vehicle.
To ensure that the lift is level, the innermost bracket hole is circular and works like a hinge, whilst the others are slotted, allowing adjustment of the lift angle.
Mounting brackets and installation quick guides are available for:
| Citroën Jumper/Relay | Nissan NV400 |
| Ford Transit | Opel/Vauxhall Movano |
| Fiat Ducato | Peugeot Boxer |
| Iveco Daily | Renault Master |
| Mercedes-Benz Sprinter | Volkswagen Crafter |
Taking into account that wiring and hydraulics are similar in all cassette lifts, we dare boast that no other lift is as quick to install as ours is. It’s all done in three easy steps.
1. Vehicle-specific mounting brackets
Each vehicle-specific mounting bracket uses the vehicle’s existing hole pattern. This means that you don’t need to drill holes or do the complex measuring. Simply find the corresponding holes and bolt the brackets into place.
2. Purpose-designed packaging
The A-series lift itself arrives on a pallet with wooden transport brackets. Remove the transport brackets, then use a forklift to lift the pallet and position the lift between the mounting brackets. In order to get as close as possible to the rear axle, the lift is placed slightly off-center on the pallet.
3. Adjust and tighten
When the lift is in the correct position between the mounting brackets, insert and tighten the bolts in the mounting brackets and their counterparts found in the groove along the cassette side. This design makes it possible to easily adjust the position of the lift if desired. In vehicle models where the wheel axle allows, the lift can either be installed flush with the back of the vehicle or protruding, in order to be used as a step.
One of the best reasons to use an A-Series lift instead of any other type of lift is that you don’t have to sacrifice the number of seats to install a lift. However, the pump module usually takes at least one seat. For the A-Series, we designed our pump module to be as thin as possible and to be partially hidden behind the panel of the vehicle, so that it takes up even less space. Another benefit that comes with placing the pump module partly hidden in the vehicle’s wall is that it can be placed where space and seating efficiency is at an optimum level – in the back close to the lift. From a usage perspective, this is quite convenient if the driver needs to manually operate the lift in the event of a power failure in the vehicle.
Grit and grime in mechanical devices can be just as bad as the proverbial spanner in the cogs. But you can’t really ask your passengers to thoroughly clean their wheelchair wheels each time you intend to use the lift. We’ve designed and tested our A-Series lift to minimize the effects of dirt in the machinery. It should work even if you were to shovel gravel into its innards, figuratively speaking.
The shape of the bottom plate of the cassette is funneled to provide an easy exit for debris and water
All rolling wheels will eventually catch particles causing grit and grime to build up. Our design uses sliding plastic blocks with meticulously cut edges that will plough through any debris, pushing it out of the way and down onto the funneled bottom plate of the cassette.
Is your lift damaged? Don’t worry, your vehicle could be back on the road within the hour. Thanks to the mounting bracket and quick-release connections for the fluids and electronics, it’s easy to replace a damaged lift.
In our effort to take simplicity even further, we designed the A-series lift to use only relays and switches, most of them so common, you can find them at your local petrol station.
