ADA Compliant Wheelchair
Lifts
The ADA
compliant Mobilift TX is the North American standard
for making trains accessible to passengers with
disabilities. The reason is simple: the Mobilift TX
has proven to be fast, reliable, and affordable over
20 years of rough and ready outdoor use.
Trains can
safely accommodate the special needs of mobility
impaired passengers using the Mobilift TX. Our manual
mobile lift provides easy-to-use, low cost access for
persons with disabilities, and delivers consistent
operational value.
Disabled Passenger Access
Over 700 units are in use at
major railroads (national, state, and local) as well
as at most of the tourist and historical railroads and
museums across North America.
The Mobilift
TX wheelchair lift is manually powered, easy to use,
highly portable, and requires no electricity. The
absence of batteries, hydraulic, and electric
components make the lift extremely lightweight and
reliable. It comes with heavy duty wheels, allowing it
to roll easily along railroad platforms.
This ADA
compliant solution can be in place now:
• Without platform
modifications
• Without retrofit costs
• Without waiting for lift equipped rail cars
• Without jeopardizing freight clearances with mini –
high platforms
