Description
Kia Carnival Wheelchair Conversion | NoRamp┬о G24 System
A cleaner, smarter and more practical wheelchair accessible vehicle conversion engineered for Australian families, carers, NDIS participants and transport providers.
For many families, the hardest part of the day isn’t the destination тАФ it’s getting out the front door. School runs, medical appointments, a simple trip to see family: every one of them starts with the question of how the wheelchair gets into the car, and whether there will be room to open a ramp when you arrive. The G24 NoRamp┬о was engineered to take that worry off the table.
The NoRamp┬о Kia Carnival Wheelchair Conversion by Gilani Engineering is designed to move beyond traditional rear ramp vehicle conversions. Instead of relying on a bulky external ramp, the G24 system uses an integrated wheelchair access design to create a more practical everyday mobility solution. Because the G24 doesn’t rely on a large external rear ramp, there’s no need to hunt for clear space behind the vehicle in a tight car park, a busy school pick-up line or a narrow driveway. You park, you access, you go.
Traditional wheelchair accessible vehicles often need clear space behind the vehicle to deploy a rear ramp. This can be difficult in shopping centres, underground car parks, driveways, schools, hospitals and tight parking spaces. The G24 NoRamp┬о system was developed to solve this real-world problem.
Gilani Engineering designs and manufactures the Kia Carnival wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) at our engineering facility in Wetherill Park, Sydney. Whether you are searching for a Kia Carnival wheelchair conversion, a Kia Carnival handicap van, a Kia mobility van or a full wheelchair van conversion in Sydney, every G24 NoRamp┬о Carnival is engineered to order for your wheelchair, seating and transfer requirements. All conversion and installation work is completed at our Sydney (Wetherill Park) workshop, with completed vehicles supported Australia-wide.
The G24 NoRamp┬о is our ramp-free wheelchair access design тАФ it does not use a traditional external rear ramp. If you are looking for a conventional lowered-floor ramp conversion, a ready-converted Kia Carnival for sale, or a wheelchair accessible taxi (WAT) conversion, we build those too тАФ see the related solutions below.

Designed by Ray Gilani, Chief Engineer and Founder
The G24 NoRamp┬о System was developed by Ray Gilani, founder and Chief Engineer of Gilani Engineering, after more than 18 years designing wheelchair accessible vehicles throughout Australia.
Throughout his career, Ray repeatedly encountered the same limitation: while wheelchair technology continued to evolve, most wheelchair accessible vehicles still relied on traditional rear ramp systems developed decades ago.
Rather than simply improving existing ramp designs, Ray began engineering an entirely new approach. The result is the G24 NoRamp┬о System, an Australian-developed wheelchair access platform designed around practicality, safety and real-world usability.
What Makes the G24 NoRamp┬о System Different?
Most wheelchair accessible vehicle conversions still follow the same basic design philosophy: a lowered floor with a rear ramp extending out from the back of the vehicle. While this can work, it often creates everyday challenges for families, carers and wheelchair users.
Park Anywhere, Access Anywhere
No waiting for space behind the vehicle to open a ramp. Underground car parks, shopping centres, kerbside drop-offs and tight driveways all become workable again.
Stay Together on Every Journey
Second-row and third-row layouts keep the wheelchair user in the heart of the cabin тАФ part of the conversation, not tucked away at the back.
Built Around One Person тАФ Yours
Your wheelchair is measured, your transfers assessed, your seating planned. The vehicle is engineered to fit the person, never the other way around.
Supported for the Long Term
Ongoing servicing, genuine parts and technical support from the same Sydney team that engineered and built your conversion.
Available Kia Carnival Wheelchair Conversion Configurations
Every wheelchair user has different mobility requirements. The G24 NoRamp┬о System has been engineered to support a wide range of seating layouts and wheelchair access configurations, allowing the vehicle to be customised for families, carers, NDIS participants, community transport providers and commercial operators.
Unlike many conventional wheelchair accessible vehicle conversions that offer only one seating arrangement, the G24 platform can be configured to suit your wheelchair, passenger numbers, transfer method and everyday lifestyle.
Each vehicle is individually assessed to determine the most appropriate engineering solution before manufacturing begins.
Second Row Wheelchair Configuration
The second-row wheelchair configuration positions the wheelchair passenger closer to the driver and front passengers, making communication easier throughout the journey. This layout is particularly popular with families and support workers who want the wheelchair user positioned within the main passenger area.
Benefits
- Closer interaction with family members
- Excellent visibility throughout the cabin
- Comfortable everyday transport
- Suitable for many manual and powered wheelchairs
- Ideal for family vehicles
Suitable For
- Families
- NDIS participants
- Support workers
- Community transport
- Private owners
Third Row Wheelchair Configuration
The third-row wheelchair configuration maximises passenger seating while maintaining a comfortable travelling position for the wheelchair user. This layout is commonly selected by larger families requiring additional passenger capacity.
Advantages
- Retains more passenger seating
- Excellent for larger families
- Comfortable for longer journeys
- Flexible interior layout
- Designed around everyday transport
Applications
- Private vehicles
- Family transport
- Disability organisations
- Community transport
- Commercial passenger transport
Double Folding Third Row Seats
Our double folding third-row seating system provides exceptional flexibility by allowing passenger seats to be folded away whenever additional wheelchair space is required. When additional seating is needed, the seats can simply be returned to their normal position.
Features
- Flexible seating capacity
- Quick folding operation
- Excellent interior versatility
- Easy transition between passengers and wheelchair space
Ideal For
- Growing families
- Mixed passenger transport
- Support organisations
- Community transport fleets
Powered Turning Swivel Transfer Seat
Not every client needs to remain seated in their wheelchair during travel. For users who transfer into the original vehicle seat, our powered swivel transfer seat rotates outside the vehicle before lowering to an accessible transfer height, making entry and exit significantly easier.
Key Features
- Electric rotation
- Powered lowering function
- Smooth transfer process
- Reduced physical effort
- Improved independence
For selected applications, the seats can be positioned in a rear-facing orientation where appropriate. Every rear-facing configuration is engineered specifically for the wheelchair user after assessing wheelchair dimensions, occupant positioning, restraint systems and intended use.
Benefits
- Vehicle-specific engineering
- Family Interactions and user friendly
- Suitable for selected applications
- Optimised around the user
Kia Carnival Hybrid Wheelchair Conversion
The G24 NoRamp┬о system is also available for selected Kia Carnival Hybrid models, subject to engineering assessment. Each hybrid vehicle is individually evaluated to ensure compatibility with the battery system, vehicle structure, seating layout and wheelchair access requirements.
Hybrid Benefits
- Hybrid compatible engineering
- Vehicle-specific assessment
- Flexible seating layouts
- Suitable for private and NDIS transport
Engineered Around Your Needs
Unlike standard wheelchair vehicle conversions, every G24 NoRamp┬о Kia Carnival conversion is individually engineered around the client rather than forcing the client into a standard layout.
Our engineering team considers wheelchair dimensions, seating position, passenger requirements, transfer method, daily travel, future mobility needs and vehicle usage before recommending the most suitable configuration.
This engineering-first philosophy allows Gilani Engineering to deliver a practical, flexible and highly personalised wheelchair accessible vehicle that supports independence while maintaining the everyday usability of the Kia Carnival.

Is there a Kia Carnival wheelchair accessible vehicle for sale now?
Availability of professionally converted Kia Carnival vehicles changes regularly. We can confirm current stock, arrange a conversion of a new or existing vehicle, or provide an accessible vehicle for hire while your conversion is completed. Contact our Sydney team for current availability.
How does the Kia Carnival compare with the Kia Sedona for wheelchair conversion?

What warranty does the conversion come with?
The G24 NoRamp┬о conversion carries a 7-year warranty covering both the NoRamp┬о access system and our conversion workmanship. Your Kia Carnival’s own manufacturer warranty is handled separately in line with the vehicle manufacturer’s terms.
Do you provide servicing after installation?
Yes. Gilani Engineering provides ongoing servicing, maintenance and technical support for our wheelchair accessible vehicle conversions.
Why We Developed the G24 NoRamp┬о System
After designing wheelchair accessible vehicles for nearly two decades, our engineering team recognised that many traditional conversions still relied on the same rear ramp concept that had been used for many years.
While functional, these systems could create practical limitations in everyday situations, particularly where rear access space was restricted.
Rather than refining an existing design, Gilani Engineering challenged the conventional approach and developed the G24 NoRamp┬о System to explore a different way of providing wheelchair access.
The result is a platform that prioritises practicality, flexibility and usability while allowing multiple seating configurations to suit different users and vehicle applications.
