01 · Side or rear
One lift family — two door strategies.
Maya Mobility mounts BUTTERFLY where your vehicle and parking reality point: sliding side door for curbside boarding, or rear aperture when the body and schedule suit rear entry.
Side or rear · Fadiel BUTTERFLY
BUTTERFLY
The lift that wraps around the wheelchair — C-shaped closure, compensation springs, and a platform that mounts at the side door or the rear depending on how you actually park and board.
What most people never realise
Rear entry is not the only honest path — if parking and bodywork allow the side.
Many buyers assume wheelchair lifts belong at the back. Side-door lifts keep rear seats and luggage layouts intact and let you board from the kerb in tight European parking — but they need a platform that clears the sill and closes securely around the chair.
Fadiel BUTTERFLY is specified for side or rear mounting with a distinctive C-shaped closure that wraps retention around the occupant. Choose BUTTERFLY when door location is flexible and you want Fadiel’s compensation-spring geometry with rear visibility preserved — not OPEN BABY LIFT’s central walk-through cavity, and not LIGHT-LIFT-BP’s rear-only book opening when your workflow is curbside side entry.
02 · C-shaped closure
Retention that follows the chair — not a flat plate alone.
The C-shaped closure geometry holds the wheelchair within the platform envelope during travel — the defining BUTTERFLY difference from a simple flat deck with add-on barriers.
03 · Compensation springs
Patented spring balance — smoother close and open.
Fadiel’s patented compensation springs tune platform motion so deployment and stow feel controlled — less jolt for the occupant and less strain on door seals over thousands of cycles.
04 · Rear visibility
See past the stowed platform when driving.
Stow geometry preserves rear sight lines compared with bulkier lift packages — meaningful for drivers who rely on the interior mirror and rear window in daily traffic.
05 · Silent rubber dampers
Neighbour-friendly deployment.
Rubber dampers quiet the last inches of motion — carers appreciate it at early hours; fleet operators appreciate it at residential stops all day.
06 · Three sizes
Punched aluminium deck in three platform dimensions.
Three platform sizes and punched aluminium anti-slip tread let Maya Mobility match chair footprint without oversizing — two-button control keeps operation straightforward for daily users.

FAQ
Questions before specifying BUTTERFLY.
Parking habits, bodywork, and interior layout decide it. Curbside boarding and intact rear luggage often
favour side mount; dedicated rear WAV layouts may favour rear. Send Maya Mobility photos of both openings — we
recommend honestly.
OPEN BABY LIFT when the operator must walk inside the platform cavity to push the chair — central
walk-through with lateral lanes. BUTTERFLY when C-shaped wrap-around retention and side/rear flexibility
matter more than internal walk space.
For tight vertical space, BABY LIFT or OPEN BABY LIFT families are usually the first conversation.
BUTTERFLY shines when closure geometry and door flexibility are the priority — Maya Mobility checks headroom
before quoting.
Three dimensions in the BUTTERFLY range — chair width and footrest length determine which Maya Mobility specifies
on your order.
