Threshold Ramps

Getting over even the smallest step inside the home can be difficult for wheelchair users as well as those who use other mobility aids like walkers or rollators. There is a simple and effective solution to overcome the problem - a portable ramp that can be used for thresholds. These ramps offer a sturdy, slightly-inclined platform that makes it easier to maneuver through doorways, raised landings, curbs and other obstacles. Our range of wheelchair ramps can be found in a variety of designs including aluminum, rubber versions, and folding models for easy storage and transportation.

To determine which type of ramp is ideal for your requirements, start by measuring the height of the rise. Look for a ramp long enough to cover this rise. A ramp that is suitable for a six inch threshold will require a length of about a foot to provide an angle suitable for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

When you've located an appropriate ramp for your needs, it's important to consider whether or not it's in line with ADA requirements. These guidelines state that 3 ft wheelchair ramp ramps should be a minimum of 12 inches in length for each inch of rise they address, so ensure that the ramp you purchase is in compliance with the ADA guidelines.

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. Portable ramps are ideal for those who just use the ramp occasionally to welcome family and friends. However, if you're planning to use the ramp for a daily basis and you want it to remain solid and stable, a permanent installation may be better.
