Braun Commercial Use Wheelchair Vans

At The Braun Corporation, the awareness of the special needs of wheelchair users is a valuable resource. You can count on Braun’s experience in designing transit van packages to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). But beyond that, their commercial vehicles are designed to meet your needs, with performance, safety, and reliability that will keep your fleet up and running day after day, year after year.

The Braun Corporation traces its origin back to 1963 when Ralph Braun, driven by a personal desire for better mobility, invented the Tri-Wheeler™ in his cousin’s farm shop. Numerous requests from other wheelchair users led to the founding of Save-A-Step Manufacturing Company the following year. By 1972, the company had grown to become The Braun Corporation. Today, Braun manufactures a full line of mobility products. Committed to engineering excellence, Braun continues to develop new and better products designed to increase the versatility of your transit fleet. Having used his own products for over 40 years, Ralph Braun invites you to place your confidence in the quality engineered excellence of the entire line of Braun Lifts and Vehicles.

Today, Braun manufactures a commercial use lowered floor minivan and 6 full-size van paratransit conversions:

  • Commercial Entervan®

Commercial Entervan

The Braun Commercial Entervan is the culmination of nearly forty years experience in building personal mobility products. Style, performance, convenience and safety have been aesthetically blended to achieve a new level of refinement in a wheelchair-accessible minivan.

The most striking feature is its handsomely finished automotive look. Easy access to the vehicle is achieved with a lowered floor and low angle ramp. Both the passenger side and the driver side sliding doors have been lowered to match the low floor level with no sill or other obstructions to step over. This standard feature also allows for a better wheelchair turning radius, making it easier to maneuver while inside the vehicle.

The Commercial Entervan comes standard with a removable front driver and passenger seat, and a wheelchair securement position in the front passenger area. This allows a passenger to ride in the front passenger seat or, by simply removing the seat, to ride in their wheelchair.

Safety has always been a top priority at Braun. The Commercial Entervan has been crash tested and certified to meet or exceed all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and is backed by Braun’s Three-Year Limited Warranty.
