Portable Wheelchair Ramps: Consideration for End User Safety

Portable wheelchair ramps are the easiest way to access any area for wheelchair users or those with limited legs or stairs. They can help you get over multiple steps or thresholds, or into many different models of vans, minivans, and SUVs. Without having to remodel them or rebuild a barrier-free access.

There are many different types of portable ramps on the market, so when you choose a portable ramp, you must consider what kind of wheelchair you are using, and the angle of inclination. Where you might place a ramp, choose a ramp length that conforms to the standard slope, as well as the size that will best support the weight and size required for transportation.

Therefore, when choosing a ramp, the following points need to be considered:

• Material. Sometimes it needs to be placed outdoors, so it must have a long service life and not rust and not easily damaged. Aluminum alloy can contain these points very well. Compared with rubber and steel ramps, the aluminum alloy material is lightweight, not easy to rust, has high strength, and is highly recyclable.

• Storage space. No matter the length, the rollable ramp can be rolled up easily, like a roll of paper. Place at home, in the yard, or in the trunk of your car. Reduce storage space.

• Temporary. Roll Round Ramps are special modularly assembled ramps that can be easily installed as a temporary or semi-permanent or even permanent ramp into a home, business, or indoor public space. The lightweight and rollable features of aluminum alloys allow it to be easily moved from one sill or step to another. Such temporary, easy-to-assemble rollable round ramps can even be used on multi-segment ramps and platforms.

• Modular. The roll round ramp consists of multiple panels. Its unique modularity allows it to be extended indefinitely without being limited in length. It can even be disassembled into several ramps at the current length. It is even possible to build any length that suits the needs of the steps. For these ramps that are too long, they can be divided into manageable sections. It changed the market for portable ramps.

• Load bearing. Load bearing is the most important part of the ramp. It is for people who need a wheelchair, or people with limited legs and feet. Therefore, strong load-bearing is the guarantee for their safety. And its uniqueness and 500KG (1102lbs) load-bearing strength make it suitable for a variety of industrial and non-industrial use scenarios.

• Slip resistance. Anti-slip ribs are used for the round ramp panels. This makes it safer, especially when the weather is less dry, rainy or snowy, and not too slippery and too fast to control the descent. In addition, the round panel is also hollowed out, so that the slope will not reduce its functionality due to snow or water accumulation.

Portable ramps are very common in today's applications. Unique modular and customizable length and width designs make them a natural integral part of your home or commercial building.
