Easy to operate, this handicap accessible wheelchair van boasts unmatched maneuverability, the most spacious interior of any competitor and numerous advanced features like: single-touch power entry and exit system; power sliding doors; power wheelchair ramp; automatic kneeling system (which helps reduce ramp angle); removable front seats to allow for up-front passenger or from-the-chair driving by the wheelchair user.

Fully Automatic Sliding Doors And Power Fold-Out Wheelchair Ramp

On the Chrysler Pacifica, Power Fold-Out XT, handicap accessible vehicle, the vehicles sliding side doors and ramp are both full-power for convenience and ease of operation. By activating the open or close command on the vehicle’s factory key-less remote or through the use of various interior switches, the door will open or close and deploy or stow the on-board ramp. In the event of power failure, the wheelchair ramp features an integrated back-up system that can be used to operate the ramp manually.

The ramp on the BraunAbility®, Power Fold-Out XT is 52 inches long and 30.125 inches wide, the widest of all its competitors, and it is made of lightweight aluminum with a load capacity of up to 1000 pounds. The ramps surface is powder coated with a durable non-skid surface and is slotted to reduce the accumulation of debris.

Auto Kneeling Feature

In an effort to reduce the wheelchair ramp angle, making it easier for a wheelchair user to enter and exit the vehicle, this wheelchair accessible van is equipped with a power, fully automatic, integrated “kneeling” system. When the deploy ramp command is initiated, the on-board computer activates an actuator that is mounted on the rear passenger side of the vehicle’s suspension. Once engaged, this actuator lowers the wheelchair accessible vans ramp side, reducing ramp angle to only 8.6 degrees. This reduction in ramp angle is key to making it easier for a wheelchair user to enter and exit the vehicle, especially manual wheelchair users. This kneeling option can also be turned off through a switch on the dash for situations when it isn’t necessary to engage. 

Lowered Floor

As part of the wheelchair van conversion process, the floor of the BraunAbility®, Chrysler Pacifica, Power XT wheelchair accessible van is lowered 14 inches from the firewall (just behind the engine) to the rear axle. This lowering of the floor does two things: First, it allows for a taller door entry height of 57 inches to allow for a taller, seated wheelchair user to enter without hitting their head. Second, it provides a wheelchair user with a more direct line-of-sight while either driving or riding as a passenger. (For a standard door opening height, see Power Fold-Out model)

Removable Seating

Standard on the Chrysler Pacifica, Power Fold-Out XT, handicap accessible van from BraunAbility®, the front seats are easily removable to allow access for a wheelchair user to either drive from his or her chair, or ride as a passenger up front. The seats are easily unlocked at the base and rolled away for easy storage. There are even cup-holders that can easily be removed or used.
