Portable Wheelchair Ramps
Portable wheelchair ramps have the advantage of normal wheelchair ramps in that the can be taken anywhere and you can gain access to most locations that will not be accessible in other situations. By using your portable wheelchair ramp you can gain access to your SUV, minivans and over doorsteps.
Different manufacturers build there own type of portable wheelchair ramps for different circumstances, so when you go to buy wheelchair ramps you will need to look closely and see what's the manufacturers purpose and what you require the ramp for, also see the height and distance of the portable ramp. Also think about the storage space required before buying.
Ramp can start at around 3 to 5 foot in length and are very compact and roll you into a small cylinder, they come with rigid side rails that make the ram stable for your climb. The weight of these type ramps is very light but a disadvantage is that they only can climb at most 2 steps.
Suit case ramps or single fold ramps are another form of portable ramp they typically take up more space as they normally only fold in half so the longer they are the move space they take up. They form a sturdy lightweight portable ramp and are good for average height and incline
Multi fold portable wheelchair ramps allow you to reach over higher obstacles than most other ramps, typically they fold into 4 pieces but when folded are still longer than the other ramps, multi fold wheelchair ramps are very heavy duty and are heavier than other ramps and will be as long as 12 feet in length.
The final type of portable wheelchair ramp is the adjustable length or telescopic ramp which can reach over 10 feet in length when fully extended. They come with two individual ramps that are placed under each side of the wheelchair and can cover over most obstacles.
Power scooters or motorized wheelchairs will not be able to use the adjustable wheelchair ramps as the six wheelchairs can't fit on the two individual ramps, but for manual wheelchairs it should not be any issues. Weight capacity of these styles of wheelchairs is much lower than other ramps.
If you can measure the height difference and the length of ramp required and most manufacturers will tell you what ramp is best suited for your needs. Portable wheelchairs come in a variety of sizes for you to choice from.
