ABSTRACT:
A passenger lift system for mobile vehicular use which functions either as a retractable step system for the vehicle or as a vertically movable elevator platform for non-ambulatory passengers transporting non-ambulatory passengers from an upper position level with the vehicle to a lower position at ground level. The lift system includes a vertical safety barrier at the outermost edge of the platform which, when not in use, collapses to form the lowermost step in the step system. The lift is moved by hydraulic actuated motors or electro-mechanical devices, or the like, whose operation and motive power is independent of the vehicles propulsion system and is controlled by appropriate electrical sensors which detect and correct any malfunction thereof.
