VEHICLE LIFTS
The Old “Get Up ‘n Go”…Redefined
Being there
Not just hearing about it, remembering or imagining. But, being there. Church, the shopping mall, a concert. Being there is what life is all about. Your personal mobility device is a godsend, but getting it there is the challenge.
Over twenty-five years ago Bruno literally created the vehicle lift market. The concept that a wheelchair or scooter, let alone a four hundred pound power wheelchair, could be lifted and stowed into a vehicle was revolutionary! Today Bruno remains the world leader in vehicle lifts for the mobility marketplace. Over twenty different products to lift and stow your scooter, power chair or manual folding wheelchair have been designed to interact with hundreds of vehicle types.
So, today you go! The old “Get Up ‘n Go” has a new meaning.
You have a full life. Different than you planned? Perhaps. But, you refuse to be defined by how you get there. Bruno is committed to your personal independence, and our award-winning, innovative vehicle lifts can be the crucial, wonderful link between here and there.
