How does it work?
The Braun Entervan fully automatic conversion is available for General Motors minivans, Chevy Uplander, Buick Terraza, and Pontiac Montana SV6.
At the touch of a button, the original (OEM) vehicle door operator opens the passenger side sliding door. As the door opens, the rear suspension “kneels” to reduce the slope of the ramp even further and the lightweight aluminum ramp extends to allow easy access to the lowered floor interior.
Entervan’s lowered floor conversion is engineered to create approximately 10” of additional headroom in the van door doorway and van interior, without compromising ground clearance. This provides a comfortable fit for most adults using manual wheelchairs, power chairs, or scooters.
What makes the GM Entervan different?
You may choose either a Fold-Out Ramp or an In-Floor Ramp, with a full 30” of useable ramp width.
Braun’s GM Entervan conversion with Fold-Out Ramp provides more useable door opening height and more interior height than other minivan conversions. If you are very tall or using a tall power chair, the GM Entervan may be a great fit for you.

Financing Options for Wheelchair Accessible Vans
We work with lenders who understand our industry and accessible van conversions.
Extended term financing is one popular option for many accessible vans. For New vans, 10-year financing is available. For newer model Pre-Owned vans, the financing term is usually less than 10 years, but longer than typical banks or credit unions. You may also choose a shorter term loan and/or pay off the loan early with no pre-payment penalty.
Low interest loans are also available if you do not need extended term financing.
If you already have a strong relationship with your bank or credit union and do not need extended term financing, we will provide any information your lender needs to consider financing for your wheelchair accessible van.
