by BraunAbility
BraunAbility was founded by Ralph Braun, a wheelchair user with spinal muscular atrophy who built his own wheelchair lift in the 1960s to regain independence. Today the company is the industry leader in wheelchair accessible vehicle conversions, producing lowered-floor minivans, SUV conversions, and a range of wheelchair lifts used across the US and Canada.
BraunAbility's website offers a comprehensive Wheelchair Van Buyer's Guide covering every step from identifying the right vehicle type to selecting a conversion, applying for grants, and arranging financing. Its dealer locator connects users to the nearest authorised BraunAbility mobility dealer. BraunAbility Financial Services provides specialised financing that bundles the vehicle purchase and conversion costs into a single loan.
Wheelchair users and families seeking to purchase a new or pre-owned wheelchair accessible vehicle. Healthcare professionals supporting patients through the discharge-to-community transition will find the buyer's guides and funding resources useful for discharge planning.
