A manufacturer of ramps for wheelchair accessible vehicles was looking for a replacement linear actuator product to fold and unfold its ramps. Due to the restricted space available it was not possible to use a parallel motor design; rather, an inline design had to be used. The previous actuator specified by the manufacturer required tremendous force to manually retract in the event of a power failure. The OEM was looking to improve the design of the ramp so needed to source a component better suited to the application.
