Gentle Giant ™ MODEL IFP6000
- Internal Full Platform 6000 Semi-Automatic Wheelchair
Lift
This internally mounted hydraulic unit has been a proven
winner over the years. It caters for all types of manual
and electric wheelchairs. The platform is bi-folding which
allows the unit to remain very compact giving ease of
handling and good vision through the rear window of the
van. This unit also features a world first safety barrier.
The unique barrier prevents a wheelchair leaving the vehicle
when the lift platform has been lowered below the vehicle
floor level.
Emergency Exit - In case of emergency,
quick easy exit is possible simply by manually pushing
the wheelchair platform outwards.
------------------------------
Gentle Giant ™ MODEL PSV6000
– Public Service Vehicle 6000 Full Platform Semi-Automatic
Wheelchair Lift
This Wheelchair Lift has a longer platform than the IFP6000
and is also fitted with fold down handgrips. The PSV 6000
is ideally suited for Taxi or Minibus use where a longer
platform is required to cater for electric scooters.
------------------------------
Gentle Giant ™ MODEL IAP6000
- Internal Access Platform Semi-Automatic Wheelchair Lift
This unit has all of the characteristics of the full
platform unit with the exception of the platform area.
The centre of the platform has been removed to leave a
clear space of 265mm in width. This allows access through
the stowed wheelchair lift platform for hand luggage and
parcels.
Another of the benefits is being able to push the wheelchair
into the rear of the van by walking directly through the
platform behind it and not having to push from the side.

IAP 6000 Series offers 'Another 'World
First' with its unique "U" shaped
platform. This concept allows the caregiver to walk
easily through the centre of the wheelchair platform
to deliver the wheelchair in and out of the vehicle
when the platform is at the vehicle floor level.
