Portable Ramp Wheelchairs

Portable ramp wheelchairs are ideal for those who are on the move. They can fold up or break down into several easy-to-carry pieces with handles.

When choosing the appropriate ramp to fit your scooter or wheelchair be sure to consider its weight capacity and incline limits. Refer to the user manual of your mobility device to get guidance.

You can use threshold ramps to get around a narrow doorway, or one with narrow opening. They're also a good option for loading power chairs on the side of a van.

Folding Ramps

A ramp for wheelchairs is a valuable accessory for any wheelchair or scooter. It allows the user to safely and easily navigate steps, curbs or other obstacles which might otherwise prevent users from enjoying the outdoors, or entering a building. Some ramps can be permanently installed and others are easily moved.

telescoping wheelchair ramps ramps are available in a vast range of sizes, designs and construction materials with options that can satisfy the needs of nearly any user. Choosing the right ramp is important because it determines how safe and easy it will be to use. To determine whether the ramp is suitable, it is important to also consider the weight capacity of the wheelchair or scooter and accessibility features. Consult with accessibility experts or healthcare experts to determine the right kind of ramp for you.

Folding telescopic ramps for wheelchairs are great for wheelchairs and scooters because they let users bridge over steps or other obstacles and then fold into place for transportation. They are also compact and lightweight which makes them a great option for those who only require ramps for access only occasionally. They are typically made of aluminum wheelchair ramp and have a non-skid finish which helps reduce the chance of accidents. Some manufacturers offer ramp models that have rails that increase stability.

Van ramps are another useful alternative for wheelchairs and scooters They offer a less expensive alternative to purchasing a fully modified accessible van. They are available in motorized or manual versions and are typically installed into the floor of standard factory vans. The EZ-ACCESS Trifold ramp, for instance, has a load-in height of 30 inches and can be fitted into most full-size vans without difficulty. The ramp is light and robust, with a sturdy non-skid flooring and safety curbs on both sides. It can withstand up to 1,000 pounds, and comes with a 10-year guarantee from the manufacturer. The Roll a Ramp is a popular alternative for the EZ Access Trifold, and is available in different lengths to suit different elevations.

Suitcase Ramps

A suitcase ramp is a great option when you need to safely traverse landings, curbs, and steps. These ramps for portable use are made of aluminum and have skid-resistant traction surfaces. The ramps fold up on hinges to make them compact and feature an ergonomic handle for transport and installation. Available in lengths of 2 to 6 feet they can be used for most wheelchairs (manual and electric), scooters (3 or 4 wheels) or walkers. They are designed to endure the rigors of frequent use and harsh outdoor conditions. They come with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

Two pins can be removed from many models to split them into two light sections. They are much easier to transport and store than traditional ramps, which are constructed as one unit. Each section is able to be placed on the ground to allow an easy transition to and off the ramp. A majority of models have a bottom transition plate which automatically adjusts to the surface of the ground. This allows for a smoother transfer onto and off the ramp. An extension for the top lip can be purchased to help the ramp clear rear bumpers on most vans and SUVs.

Some models feature a fixed plate that is a transition with holes for attaching the ramp to a support surface. Some models have plates that can be adjusted separately. Both are designed to offer an unsecure installation and ensure that the ramp remains in position even when the mobility aid is in motion. Certain ramps have additional features like the high side rails that shield the user from injury, and an enclosed bag that is weatherproof to keep the ramp when it is not being used.

These ramps are useful to navigate a few steps in your home or at work. They can also be used when traveling or in other locations where ramps that are permanent are not possible. Some manufacturers produce ramps for suitcases that are folded into three sections and then remain the same length even when not being used. This is an option that is a good option if you want to move the ramp quickly and set it up more quickly.

Modular Ramps

A variety of portable ramps are available to those who need to maneuver a scooter or wheelchair up and over doors landings, stairs and other steps. There are a variety of ramps that are portable, ranging from threshold ramps to aluminum modular ramps. Modular ramps can be utilized by those who need an alternative that is more permanent for accessing their home. They are also able to accommodate greater distances and higher elevations. They are usually constructed from modular sections of the ramp landings, footings, landings and handrails that are constructed on the spot. This is significantly faster than building a custom wood ramp and requires no excavation or permit.

Aluminum is a light, durable material that won't get rusty. It's also more resistant to ground and weather changes than wood ramps. This means that they can be used indoors or outdoors without any worries about the surface's deterioration over time. They can also be adjusted easily when the ground is settling or if someone's mobility requires changes.

A modular ramp can be built to accommodate various sized steps or obstacles by selecting different lengths of ramp path and platforms widths. They can be arranged to match any space, allowing for an uninvolved and safe slope of up to 1:12 (the maximum slope ramp height recommended by the ADA). The modular ramps come with a variety of handrail options, such as two-line rails and vertical pickets.

All models, regardless of whether you opt for either a portable Ramp wheelchair threshold or modular ADA Ramp, are backed with a great warranty that will give you peace-of-mind about your investment. In addition the PATHWAY 3G comes with an anti-slip surface that will ensure the traction regardless of weather conditions. It is designed to be easy to maintain, with no dangerous bolts or nuts protruding through the ramp surface. The sides are smooth and free of edges that could catch on equipment or clothing.

The modular ramps' components can be easily assembled on the spot, making them a faster and more simple solution than installing an old-fashioned wooden ramp. They are extremely durable and are able to support the entire weight of scooters and wheelchairs as well as the user. The majority of them are powder-coated to prevent scratches, flaking, and corrosion. The ramps are lightweight enough to move if you ever have to move the ramp.

Track Ramps

extendable wheelchair ramps ramps enable wheelchair users to safely walk over steps, curbs and other elevated surfaces. They are typically made of durable materials and come with different styles, sizes and weight capacities. The majority of ramps are light and portable, with built-in handles making them easy to carry in the car.

Because of this, they're usually used by those who require ramps for only a short period of time, or when traveling to various places.

Modular ramps, often referred to as track ramps, are yet another popular option. These are more like a full-width wheelchair ramp than a suitcase ramp, and have a slightly larger capacity for weight than a suitcase ramp with up to 2,000 lbs. They're designed to be erected on-site and are often used in locations where permanent wheelchair ramps cannot be constructed. They are also an excellent choice for those who travel a lot and require ramps at various places.

These ramps are made up of a pair of dual-runner ramps which can be set in any direction to accommodate wheelchairs and scooters of all sizes. The ramps also feature top and bottom attaching lips, a cotter-pin roll that is connected to the ramps when they are not being used. They also have the option of locking them with a push-button, which comes with a plastic wheelchair ramp cover and raised side rails.

The simplest way to choose the right portable ramp for your mobility needs is to measure your wheelchair's wheelbase and then determine the amount of a rise you'll need to overcome. Most manufacturers recommend that you use a minimum of a foot ramp for every 2" rise in the wheelchair when it is loaded with the user, and a minimum of 3" rise if the chair or scooter are empty.
