As the global market for accessible transportation equipment continues to expand, according to the latest report from Fortune Business Insights, the market is expected to reach $8.91 billion in 2022, with a compound annual growth rate exceeding 6.5%. Against this backdrop, Rohn Hydraulic, a leader in professional hydraulic solutions, leveraging over a decade of expertise in wheelchair lift power units, is reshaping the industry's quality standards through precision engineering. As a comprehensive service provider integrating R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain services, the company provides core driving force for the global public transportation, medical transport, and specialty vehicle sectors through rigorous military-grade quality control systems and deeply customized services.
The Rohn Hydraulic power unit utilizes a high-strength aircraft-grade aluminum housing and a multi-stage sealing structure. Its core hydraulic system, certified by TÜV Rheinland, maintains precise pressure response within 0.1 seconds in extreme temperature environments (-30°C to 75°C). The durability of the Wheelchair Lift Power Unit for Vehicles far exceeds the requirements of the EN 1756-2:2004 European standard for barrier-free equipment. A key technological breakthrough lies in its independently developed servo closed-loop control system, validated by Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) testing. This technology reduces vibration during the lifting process by 52%, minimizing the risk of jolts experienced by wheelchair passengers during boarding and exiting, making it particularly suitable for the safety of the elderly and those with limited mobility.
"The essence of market competition is reliability," the technical director of Rohn Hydraulic emphasized in an interview. "Every production line of our Wheelchair Lift Power Unit for Vehicles undergoes three-level pressure testing, and the tolerance of key valve groups is controlled within ±0.05 MPa." This pursuit of extreme precision has enabled its products to achieve a mechanical lifespan exceeding 100,000 cycles, triple the industry average. Even more noteworthy is its innovative modular design, which allows customers to customize the power unit size based on vehicle layout. It also supports 12V/24V dual-voltage systems, adapting to the electrical architectures of specialized vehicles like school buses and ambulances.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Statistics, 87,000 new accessible vehicles will be added to the US in 2023 alone. In response to surging market demand, Rohn Hydraulic has reduced the procurement cost of core hydraulic components by 23% through vertically integrated supply chains, enabling medical institutions and public transportation operators to obtain ADA-compliant equipment at more competitive prices. Its established 72-hour global technical response mechanism has provided on-site troubleshooting services to customers in 37 countries and regions. Dr. Morrison, technical committee member of the North American Accessible Transportation Association, noted, "The power unit, as the 'heart' of the lift, directly impacts the safety of users. Rohn's deep integration of hydraulic precision control and personalized service has set a new paradigm for the industry." With the accelerating global aging population, the company is accelerating the development of intelligent diagnostic systems, leveraging IoT technology to predict faults and continuously promoting the integration of technological advancement and humanistic care in the field of accessible mobility.
