Description

If you are searching for a safe, professional and properly engineered hand control system — not a temporary add-on — you’re in the right place.

The Vertical Push Brake (HT-Push) is a precision hand-operated braking system designed for drivers who require reliable brake control without using their lower limbs.

Installed and calibrated by Gilani Engineering, this system delivers controlled stopping power while preserving factory safety systems and interior integrity.

The Vertical Push Brake hand control system provides precise, one-hand braking for drivers with lower limb mobility limitations. Professionally installed and calibrated in Australia, this system preserves factory safety features while delivering smooth, controlled braking performance.

Who This Is For

This system is suitable for drivers who:

• Have limited or no lower limb mobility
• Require braking through hand operation
• Want a discreet, modern installation
• Need compliance-conscious vehicle modification
• Are upgrading from older or bulky hand control systems

If safety, comfort and long-term reliability matter — this system is built for you.

How It Works

The driver applies braking by pushing the vertical lever forward.

The motion is natural, progressive and highly controllable, allowing:

• Smooth deceleration in traffic
• Confident emergency braking
• Stable hill starts
• Better low-speed control when parking

The ergonomic design reduces fatigue during extended driving.

Engineered to Protect Your Vehicle

Unlike steering column-mounted systems, the Vertical Push Brake:

• Is not connected to the steering column
• Preserves knee airbag functionality
• Maintains steering adjustment systems
• Does not require intrusive plastic dashboard modification
• Keeps the interior clean and factory-looking

The matte black aluminium lever and leather-wrapped knob integrate seamlessly into modern vehicle interiors.

Custom-Fitted to the Driver

Every installation is tailored.

We adjust for:

• Driver height
• Arm reach
• Seating position
• Wheelchair transfer space
• Individual comfort preferences

We do not “install and send you home.”
We fine-tune the system so it works properly in real driving conditions.

Compatible With Most Automatic Vehicles

Common installations include:

• Toyota Hiace
• Hyundai Staria
• Kia Carnival
• Ford Transit
• Volkswagen Transporter
• Passenger vehicles with automatic transmission

Can Be Transferred to a New Vehicle

Upgrading your car in the future?

The system can be:

• Professionally removed
• Reinstalled in a new vehicle
• Returned to factory condition where applicable

This protects your investment long-term.

Compatible With Additional Driving Aids

The Vertical Push Brake can be integrated with:

• Electronic accelerator systems
• Push-pull hand controls
• Steering aids
• Secondary control switches
• Electric brake lock buttons

Advanced setups can disable acceleration during final braking stages — improving safety during tight manoeuvres and hill starts.
