Optional Accessories

Some users appreciate the opportunity to take advantage of convenient accessories and replacement parts to enhance their mobility lifestyles. One popular accessory is Braun’s Chair Topper, an automated system that folds a standard wheelchair and hoists it into a streamlined carrier attached to the roof of a car. This alleviates the need to stow a wheelchair in the trunk or backseat, freeing up more room for other storage or passengers. The Chair Topper fits most cars and light trucks, and its low-profile design minimizes drag. Its operation cycle is about thirty seconds, and it requires minimal side clearance, to allow operation even in tight spaces.

Companion Seat

Braun’s Companion Seat is an innovative product that swivels and tilts the passenger seat in a Chrysler, Ford, or GM minivan to afford easy, safe boarding and exiting for passengers who require a little “extra” assistance. This accessory can be very helpful for vehicle passengers with partial ambulatory capability, but whose partial lack of balance or strength might create difficulty for them in attempting to enter and exit a standard minivan or other vehicle.

Replacement Parts for Braun Wheel Chair Lifts

Braun maintains a network of authorized dealers and repair service providers who can help owners of Braun wheel chair lifts with maintaining their equipment in top service form.
