Anti-Slip High-Traction Surface

One of the most critical features for portable ramps is an anti-slip and high traction surface. Having a high-traction surface allows for wheelchairs and scooters to have better contact with the ramp and is great for home entries, medical visits and temporary event spaces. Another critical safety measure is that buyers need to measure the rise and choose the correct ramp length for the situation to ensure proper slope, secure placement, user control and caregiver support. 

Available Sizes and Capacity

The buyer has flexibility with the size range. The single-fold ramp sizes include: 2-foot, 3-foot, 4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot lengths, each with a 30-inch width. Depending on the model, weights range from 10 lbs. to 33 lbs. Maximum ramp capacity is 400 lbs. for single axle and 800 lbs. for two axles.

Depending on your needs, the shorter ramp is best for low rises or curbs. The longer ramps are best for higher rises where additional ramp length is needed. Rise height, available landing space, mobility device type, and whether the user is assisted will all determine which option is best for you.
