July 2020, BraunAbility had a mid-year conversion change to the CompanionVan® conversion. The CompanionVan® wheelchair van conversion went from a manual wheelchair ramp to a new, power wheelchair ramp. Effective August 3, 2020, new BraunAbility CompanionVan® wheelchair van conversions will be built with the new power wheelchair ramp system. If doing research or shopping for pre-owned units, be sure you verify the ramp type of interest since both vehicle types will be available for some time.
(Conversions After Aug. 3, 2020)
The ramp on the CompanionVan®, power fold-out, handicap wheelchair van is operated with a separate keyfob and is 29.25 inches wide. The ramp is made up of lightweight aluminum and has a load capacity of 1000 lbs. The ramp’s surface is powder-coated with a durable, non-skid finish and is slotted to aid in the removal of debris.
As part of the conversion process, the floor of the Dodge Grand Caravan, CompanionVan® is lowered from just behind the front seats to the rear bench seat and provides 55 inches, front to back, of wheelchair-accessible space. This lowering of the floor does two things: First, it allows for a taller door entry and easy entry. Second, it provides a wheelchair user a direct line of sight while riding as a passenger.
