Portable Ramp Wheelchairs Portable ramp wheelchairs are great for people who travel. They can fold up or break down into several easy-to-carry pieces with handles. Consider incline limitations and weight capacity when choosing the best ramp for your wheelchair or scooter. Refer to the user manual for your mobility device for advice. It is possible to use threshold ramps to navigate over a low doorway or one with narrow opening. They are also helpful for loading power wheelchairs into the side of vans. Folding Ramps A ramp for wheelchairs is a valuable accessory for any wheelchair or scooter. It allows users to safely and comfortably navigate around curbs, stairs, or other obstacles that could otherwise prevent someone from enjoying the outdoors or even entering the building. Some ramps are permanently installed, while others can be easily moved. Wheelchair ramps are available in a wide range of sizes, designs and construction materials, with options that can meet the needs of virtually any user. The ideal ramp will determine how easy and safe the ramp can be used. It is also important to think about the weight capacity and accessibility features of a particular wheelchair or scooter in order to ensure that the ramp you choose to use is suitable. Ask accessibility experts or healthcare experts to determine the most appropriate kind of ramp for you. The ramps that fold for wheelchairs and mobility scooters are ideal to get around obstacles such as stairs. They can be easily folded back for transport. They are also lightweight and compact which makes them a great choice for people who may just require ramps for occasional access. They are usually constructed of aluminum and feature a nonslip surface to help minimize the risk of accidents. Some manufacturers offer ramp models that have rails to increase stability. Van ramps are another useful option for scooters and wheelchairs They offer a less expensive option than buying a completely converted accessible van. They are available in motorized and manual versions and are typically fitted into the floors of standard factory vans. The EZ-ACCESS Trifold Ramp, for example has a loading height of 30 inches, and can be easily inserted into most full-size vans. The ramp is light and robust and is non-skid with safety curbs on both side. It can support the maximum weight of 1,000 pounds and is covered by a 10-year warranty from the manufacturer. The Roll a Ramp power folding ramp is also an alternative to the EZ-ACCESS Trifold and is available in different lengths for different elevations. Suitcase Ramps A suitcase ramp can be an ideal option when you need to safely traverse landings, curbs, and steps. These ramps for portable use come with traction surfaces that are resistant to skids and are made of aluminum. They fold on hinges into small size and have an ergonomic carrying handle that makes it easy to transportation and set-up. They come in lengths ranging from two to six feet. They can be used with most standard wheelchairs (manual or electric) and scooters (3 or 4 wheel) or walkers. They are built to reliably withstand frequent use and harsh outdoor conditions and come with a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. Two pins can be removed from most models to split them into two sections that are lightweight. This makes them easier and lighter to transport and store as opposed to ramps that are designed to be single units. Each section can be placed on the ground to allow smooth transitions onto and off the ramp. Many models have a self-adjusting bottom transition plate that takes into account the surface of the ground, allowing for an easier transfer onto and off the ramp. An extension for the top lip can be purchased to help the ramp clear rear bumpers on a majority of vans and SUVs. Some models have an adjustable top transition plate with holes to connect the ramp to the supporting surface, while other models have plates that are adjustable and independently adjustable. Both are designed to offer the safety of installation and maintain the ramp in place even when the mobility aid is moving. Some ramps offer additional features such as high side rails to help protect the user as well as a weatherproof carrying bag that can be used to store the ramp when not in use. These ramps can be used to walk a few steps at home or used when traveling at work, on the go or anywhere in other locations where a permanent ramp might not be feasible. My Mobility Scooters produce ramps for suitcases in a trifold format, which allows them to fold into three sections that remain relatively the same length when not in use. This is an option that can be used when you want to move the ramp quickly and set it up faster. Modular Ramps Many kinds of portable ramps are available for those who require to move a wheelchair or scooter across doorways, landings and other steps. There are many types of portable ramps, ranging from threshold ramps to aluminum modular ramps. Modular ramps are a great option by those who require an alternative that is more permanent for accessing their home. They also have the capacity to handle greater distances and higher elevations. They are usually constructed on-site using modular sections landings, feet, landings and handrails. This is more efficient than custom-building wood ramps and doesn't require excavation or permits. Unlike wood ramps, which can suffer damage due to weather and ground movement Modular ramps are constructed of aluminum, which is lightweight but strong which is durable and will not rust. They can be used both outdoors and indoors without having to worry about the surface deteriorating. They are also easy to adjust in the event of a ground shift or if someone's mobility requires change. Modular ramps are designed to accommodate different sizes of obstacles or steps by choosing different lengths for the ramp and platform widths. They can be configured to fit any space, allowing for an easy and safe slope of up to 1:12 (the maximum slope height of ramps recommended by the ADA). The modular ramps are available with a range of handrails, including two-line rails or vertical pickets. All models, regardless of whether you choose a portable threshold or a modular ADA Ramp, come with a great warranty that gives you peace-of-mind about your purchase. In addition, the PATHWAY 3G features a slip-resistant surface to maintain the ramp's traction in all weather conditions. It is designed to be simple to maintain, without dangerous bolts or nuts protruding from the ramp surface. The sides are smooth and free of edges that could snag on clothing or equipment. Modular ramps can be assembled on the spot. This is a quicker and easier solution than installing an existing ramp made of wood. They are incredibly durable and can support the entire weight of a wheelchair or scooter as well as the users. Powder-coated surfaces resist corrosion, scratching, and flaking. The parts are also light enough to move should the ramp need to be moved. Track Ramps Wheelchair ramps enable wheelchair users to safely move over curbs, steps and other surfaces that are raised. They are typically made of sturdy materials and are available in different styles, sizes, and weight capacities. In addition to their light and portable design, many ramps are equipped with handles that make them easy to carry and transport in the vehicle. They're also available in a range of lengths that can accommodate any type of wheelchair and scooters. The most commonly used type of portable wheelchair ramp is a suitcase ramp which has a foldable design which makes it easy to carry and set up. They are also available in a variety of lengths, from 6” to 12” in increments, which means you can pick one that's perfect for your mobility needs.

Because of this, they are typically used by people who require a ramp for only short periods of time or for travel to various locations. Modular ramps are also a popular. They are sometimes called track ramps. They're more similar to full-width ramps for wheelchairs than suitcase ramps, and have a slightly greater weight capacity of up to 220 pounds. They're designed to be constructed on site and are typically used in places where permanent wheelchair ramps cannot be constructed. They're also an excellent choice for people who travel frequently and need to use ramps at various locations. These ramps feature a series of dual-runner ramps that can be placed at any distance to accommodate different wheelchair and scooter widths. The ramps also have a the bottom and top attaching lip, a cotter-pin roll that is connected to the ramps when they are not being used. They also feature a push-button locking system with a plastic covering, and raised side rails. The easiest way to select the best portable ramp for your mobility requirements is to measure the wheelbase of your wheelchair and then determine the amount of a rise you 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 filled with the user and a minimum of 3” rise in the case that the scooter or chair are empty.
