Threshold Ramps

Getting over even the smallest step inside the home can be a challenge for wheelchair users and those using other rolling mobility aids, such as walkers and rollators. There is a simple but effective solution - a portable ramp for thresholds. These ramps offer an inclined platform that permits more maneuverability through doorways, raised landings and curbs. Our selection of ramps for wheelchairs are available in a number of styles including rubber units, aluminum versions, and 6ft folding Wheelchair Ramp models for easy storage and transport.

Start by measuring the height. Then, search for a ramp that is sufficient in length to cover the length of this rise. A ramp for a 6 inch threshold will require a length of about a foot to provide an angle suitable for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

Once you've found a ramp that is suitable for your needs, it's also important to determine whether or not it's in line with ADA requirements. According to these guidelines, wheelchair ramps must be at least 12 inches long for every inch of rise.

You'll also need to choose whether you'd like a ramp that's portable or a permanent one, depending on the amount of use you're expecting and your personal preferences. If you're only using the ramp for occasional visits from friends and family, a portable option is probably most suitable. However, if you're planning to use the ramp for daily use and you want it to remain stable and sturdy an installation that is permanent might be the better choice.
