BraunAbility said Aug. 18 that it has launched LiftSentinel, an aftermarket barrier for commercial wheelchair lifts, and that the product is available to order now.

The company said the accessory is designed to add a physical barrier while keeping existing operator workflows in place. BraunAbility described LiftSentinel as a new product category for the company and as an addition to its current line of commercial wheelchair lifts.

In a release, BraunAbility said the product is intended for operators in school bus fleets, paratransit, non-emergency medical transportation, public transit and school transportation. It said LiftSentinel is designed to support proper rider positioning during lift operation and to help reduce the potential for human error during loading and unloading.

Jim Probst, vice president and general manager of BraunAbility's Commercial Division, said the product was created to provide an added measure of confidence while maintaining performance and reliability.

BraunAbility said LiftSentinel is meant to provide an extra layer of security and peace of mind without changing how operators use existing equipment. The company also said it fits into existing workflows and is meant to maintain expected performance and reliability.

BraunAbility described itself as a mobility transportation solutions company that makes wheelchair accessible vehicles, wheelchair lifts and seating, storage and securement products. The release said the company was founded more than 50 years ago by Ralph Braun and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Patricia Industries, a division of Investor AB.

The release did not give pricing or say when the product will reach customers beyond noting that it is available to order.
