EXPRESS Mobilift AX - Wheelchair lift for narrow body aircraft.
A safe, efficient way to board disabled travelers
The Express Mobilift AX is the most common boarding lift in North America, used at over half of the airports in Canada and the US. Adaptive Engineering USA LLC is known for innovation and design intelligence, and the Mobilift AX reflects both.
Designed for all turboprops and regional jets
The AX accesses the whole range of regional aircraft, including difficult to access planes like the Saab 340, to a maximum sill height of 71". For narrow body jets, please refer to the literature on the Mobilift AXR, which can reach up to 110".
Fast cycle time
Mobilift AX operation is fast, to maintain short turn times. Once at the aircraft, it takes less than 20 seconds to lift to sill height. A complete deployment cycle is about two minutes. Manual positioning is also quicker than joystick control because of greater control, precision, and fewer adjustments.
User-friendly, manual operation
The Mobilift AX lifts the passenger with a high-efficiency crank system. Energy stored in counterbalance springs releases as the lift goes up, making crank operation light.
Reliable
Whether the lift is used frequently or once a year, it must function for the passenger who needs it. The AX has no batteries, hydraulic or electric components, common causes of failure in other lifts. Because these same components fail in extreme weather conditions, the Mobilift has near-perfect performance in cold temperatures, rain, snow or heat. Also, the only maintenance
requirement is a yearly safety inspection. Safety for the passenger and operator
The lift deck has posts at four corners, instead of being cantilevered from a tower, so it feels more secure to the person on the lift. The drive also lifts smoothly, without jerking. As well, dual handrails give support to standing passengers who may not be able to use stairs. The lift also meets the stringent FAA stability requirements for high wind load.
Aircraft damage protection
The operator has the following advantages with the Mobilift AX: the lift turns on its center, has clear lines of sight from every angle, and starts and stops with precision. This removes the common risks for accidental contact with the plane. The brakes also engage whenever the operator is not actively pushing the lift, to prevent uncontrolled movement. Finally, the ramp into the plane has non-marking, protective bumpers where it contacts the sill.
