Braunability

BraunAbility is the world's leading manufacturer of wheelchair accessible van conversions and wheelchair lifts. The story of BraunAbility begins with founder, Ralph Braun. Diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy and unable to walk by the age of 15, he was determined to find a better way to stay mobile than being pushed in a manual chair and carried in and out of vehicles. Ralph started by inventing the world’s first electric scooter, which he called the Tri-Wheeler. From there Ralph designed the world’s first wheelchair lift and steering controls, allowing Ralph to drive himself independently for the first time in his life. Ralph quickly discovered that others just like him were hungry for that same independence. With just a handful of employees and despite overwhelming odds, Ralph started his business, and a new industry emerged. Over the past four decades, BraunAbility products have revolutionized what independence means to wheelchair users. Today BraunAbility has over 1000 employees, all working to grow mobility across the world. Ralph Braun passed away in 2013, but his legacy is still the driving force behind the BraunAbility mission today. As the world leader in mobility with over 40 years of experience, BraunAbility understands what you're looking for in wheelchair vans, wheelchair lifts and mobility products. Why? Because BraunAbility was founded by a man who needed that mobility for himself. Ralph Braun built his company on a commitment to quality, safety, and innovation.
