The Mini-bus Concealed Cassette Lift from PLS represents a new generation of accessible vehicle lift solution.
When stowed, the lift is cleverly located in the void between the standard vehicle floor and a raised flat floor. It still retains all the impressive features of an exterior mounted, underfloor cassette lift whilst offering the additional benefit of a longer length if required (1410- 1740mm).
The lift is electrically deployed using an ergonomic, two-button controller with automatic handrails for added wheelchair passenger and operator safety. The main advantage of this location is that the product is less prone to corrosion that can affect the operational life of a lift.
Ground clearance issues are also eliminated on accessible vehicles installed with this system and overall aesthetics are unaffected. This concealed cassette lift is proving very popular with many inner city and rural mini-bus fleet operators as it does not affect ground clearance.
As the lift is not installed on the underside of the vehicle, minibuses can drive over multiple speed humps or across uneven surfaces as per standard vehicles.
