Why Choose A Toyota Wheelchair Van?
As soon as the Toyota Sienna Minivan was available, there was a lot of interest generated in using it as a wheelchair conversion van. The good news for Toyota wheelchair van consumers is that from the start, Toyota was working to make the Sienna available with a low-floor wheelchair conversion.
Toyota recognized the potential to broaden Sienna’s market to individuals who are disabled, as well as to the rapidly growing senior population. As a result, Toyota was proactive in seeking out a U.S.-based wheelchair van conversion company to supply this market. Toyota selected Independent Mobility Systems, Inc. (IMS)—located in Farmington, New Mexico—to be their mobility conversion partner because of IMS’ quality manufacturing capabilities and extensive U.S. dealer network. The result was the 2003 IMS Sienna Rampvan.
Conversion Van Features
IMS was purchased by The Braun Corporation in 2004, which boosted the resources behind the Toyota Sienna as a wheelchair van. Now manufactured by the best and largest wheelchair van supplier in the world, the Toyota Sienna with BraunAbility’s Rampvan Conversion is considered one of the premier Toyota wheelchair vans in the industry. This partnership with Toyota has created new wheelchair van manufacturing techniques and processes that have increased quality and shortened lead times, making BraunAbility’s Rampvan seem like it’s manufactured directly by Toyota. In addition, Toyota requires that all dealers of the BraunAbility’s Rampvan meet a higher standard than other manufacturers’ mobility dealers.
The following are some of the outstanding features of the Toyota Sienna wheelchair van:
- The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Sienna the highest possible front and side impact crash test ratings.
- The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy voted the Sienna the “greenest minivan” for its ultra-low emissions and high fuel efficiency.
By combining the Toyota Sienna with BraunAbility’s superior wheelchair conversion process, the Rampvan provides among the safest, most comfortable Toyota handicap vans available today.
More Choices for Toyota Wheelchair Conversion Vans
While Braunability was focusing on Side-Entry, Automatic Wheelchair conversions for the Toyota Sienna, Viewpoint Mobility, of Kalamazoo, Michigan was targeting those that prefer a Rear Entry Wheelchair Van Conversion with a Manual ramp and door. Viewpoint has always been exclusively focused on the rear-entry market and their dealers and customers were asking for product on the Toyota Sienna platform. Viewpoint responded in 2008 with the Vision Toyota Sienna and it has quickly become one of their most popular products.

Many people prefer – or require – a rear entry wheelchair van because of their parking situation, the environment in which they drive or their budget. With the introduction of the Viewpoint Vision Toyota Sienna, these wheelchair van consumers now have all the benefits of a rear-entry wheelchair conversion van on the Toyota Sienna that they desire.
