Portable Wheelchair Ramps

Portable Wheelchair Ramps

Our new portable wheelchair ramps can be used as auxiliary aids to overcome steps up to 400mm high. The most important to bear in mind when considering portable ramps is that where assistance is at hand and when the ramps are temporarly and not fixed, you can use them at a maximum gradient of 1:6 or better still 1:8

To work out the lengh of ramp you require first find the total height fifference you need to overcome, then multiply this by 6.

for example, if you have a 30cm step it is 30cm x 6 which gives you a minimum length of 1.8m (or 6ft)

By far the most popular ramp for steps above 100mm (4inches) is the Aerolight Xtra wheelchair ramp which are available in lenghs from 60cm up to 2.5m
