The BraunAbility®, rear-entry Toyota Sienna wheelchair van, is built with a manual wheelchair ramp conversion. Because it is manual, its ramp is a whopping 32 inches in width to accommodate the largest wheelchairs.
In addition to the more significant ramp, this accessible minivan is very spacious! It can accommodate the transport of up to two wheelchairs simultaneously. Particularly important for those needing to transport larger wheelchairs or multiple users.
The BraunAbility® rear-entry Toyota Sienna wheelchair van makes the perfect choice for those needing extra interior space and traveling with a dedicated caregiver or attendant at all times.
In addition, as with all rear-entry, handicap wheelchair-accessible vans, the ramps’ rear location provides the additional freedom to park in traditional parking spaces. Therefore, eliminating the issue of having the ramp blocked by other drivers.
Manual Fold-Out Wheelchair Ramp Options
The ramp on the BraunAbility®, rear-entry Toyota Sienna wheelchair van, is only available in a manually operated version but is effortless. As noted previously, the ramp is 32 inches wide and is made of lightweight aluminum alloy. But it’s strong and has a load capacity of 800 pounds! In addition, the ramp’s surface is powder-coated with a durable, non-skid finish, and it’s slotted to aid in removing debris.
Lowered Floor Conversion
As part of the wheelchair van conversion process, the actual floor of a BraunAbility®, rear-entry Toyota Sienna wheelchair van is lowered from just behind the two front seats of the vehicle through the rear.
Firstly, it creates a taller door-entry height, allowing safe access to taller, seated wheelchair users.
Secondly, it creates a direct line-of-sight for the wheelchair user when riding as a passenger in the front or rear of the vehicle.
Flip & Fold Seating Options
On rear-entry Toyota Sienna wheelchair van conversions from BraunAbility®, there are optional seats available for ambulatory passengers. Undeniably, one of the most common is the mid-row, flip & fold seating option. When not in use, these seats can be flipped & folded to make additional interior space.
Another option is adding a third-row bench seat. This seat also can be folded out-of-the-way when not being used.
