Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar took a special step on the occasion of his son Arjun's wedding. He installed a hydraulic wheelchair lift system in his luxury SUV, so that his 80-year-old mother could get into the car without any help. After all, how does this high-tech system work and how much does it cost? Know this.
Sachin SUV Wheelchair Lift
A video is viral on social media. It can be seen that cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has completely customized his personal luxury SUV on the occasion of his son Arjun Tendulkar's wedding (5 March 2026). In this his mother can travel very conveniently.
It is clearly visible in the video that 80-year-old Rajni Tendulkar is easily getting in and out of the car with a wheelchair without any help. This is not an ordinary ramp or manual lift, but a fully engineered, hydraulic platform lift system. It appears to be no less than international level Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV).
Which car is it?
This car of Sachin is his high-end luxury full-size SUV. It is a bit difficult to find the brand or model number in the short video. It is clear from the visuals that this is an SUV more than 5 meters long, with a heavy-duty chassis. According to my guess, it could be Range Rover or Mercedes-Benz GLS.
The boot space and rear gate clearance of both the models is large enough to fit platforms weighing up to 350-500 kg without structural compromise. The Range Rover's air suspension and the GLS's on-demand 4MATIC system provide the perfect base for such modifications.
Technical breakdown of the system
This system is mainly based on two double-acting hydraulic cylinders, 12V DC electric pump, electronic control unit (ECU) and heavy-gauge steel platform. The dimensions of the platform would be approximately 120cm x 80cm, with a payload capacity of up to 400 kg.
The pump, which takes power from the car's battery, pushes hydraulic fluid into the cylinders at a pressure of 180-220 bar. As soon as you press the remote or dashboard button, the platform tilts down by 90 degrees and comes to ground level (0mm).
The wheelchair is secured to the platform with magnetic locks and straps. Then in reverse mode the cylinders pump the fluid back, the platform rises 40-50cm and auto locks, perfectly aligning at the floor level of the SUV. The entire cycle takes just 8-12 seconds.
Sachin Tendulkar arranged a special car for his mother so that she could attend the wedding in comfort and ensured that she had no trouble getting in and out of the car.🫡❤️pic.twitter.com/GcvCobqnJt
