Braun Innovations: SolidBody™ Construction

SolidBody™ construction is what separates Braun Industries, Inc. from all other ambulance manufacturers. SolidBody™ construction is unique. Every Braun ambulance is built as one integrated module from .125" flat sheet, marine grade aluminum. The floor, roof, sides and doors are all constructed from brake formed parts with fully welded seams. Since there is no separate extruded frame, SolidBody™ reduces the weight and adds strength, providing many significant advantages.

Full contact weld seams with no separate extruded frame provides strength and stability. In the event of impact, an extruded frame module tends to transfer the energy from a collision across the frame, often twisting the module out of square, jarring the skin loose from the extrusions and causing cracks at spot welds through the body. SolidBody™ design, however, incorporates all body components into one integrated module, absorbing impact, minimizing the transferred damage and providing added safety. 

The Braun arched roof design allows for more internal headroom and strength in the module roof and eliminates water and snow pooling. The brake formed construction is lighter and stronger, so you can carry more crew, more patients and more gear. Sprayed-on foam insulation in the ceiling, walls, doors, and entire underside of the body provides acoustical and thermal insulation. The module design provides a very low center of gravity and balance across the axles allowing the vehicle to hug the road and stop smoothly and evenly.
