Wheelchair Ramps

Choosing the right length

The length you need depends on the height you're climbing. A longer ramp gives a gentler slope, which is safer and easier for wheelchairs and scooters. Measure the rise (the height from the ground to the top of the step) and ask us which length suits it. Portable ramps are often steeper than permanent ramps, so a carer may need to help.

Types of portable ramps

• Suitcase ramps fold in half with a carry handle. Good for single steps and doorways.
• Telescopic ramps slide in and out to different lengths. Good for car boots and vans.
• Multi-fold ramps fold into a compact size for storage.

What to check before you buy

• The rise you need to cover and the ramp length.
• The weight of the user plus wheelchair or scooter.
• The width of the wheelchair or scooter.
• Whether it will be used indoors, outdoors or in the car.

What length wheelchair ramp do I need?

Measure the height of the step and call us; we'll suggest a length that gives a safe slope for your chair or scooter.

Can I use a portable ramp to load a scooter into a car?

Yes. Telescopic ramps are designed for car boots and vans.

Are the ramps suitable for mobility scooters?

Yes, as long as the scooter's weight and width are within the ramp's rating.
