Short Description

A flexible portable ramp that can roll up for storage and transport. The ramp is suitable for a wheelchair or scooter with an occupant and can assist access across steps or into a vehicle. It is available as a one piece or two piece ramp and has a carry handle. Bi Fold ramps that attach to a vehicle are also available. Length can be customised. A range of accessories is available.

Method Of Use

The ramp can be made to fold at set points only by tightening all other screws except at the places where the ramp is meant to fold. This allows the ramp to fold into flat sections which is useful, for example, when permanently fixed inside a van.

Options

* Spacers
* Hand rail 950mm high
* Slip resistant mat

Models

* Single Ramp
* Twin Pair Ramp
The width of the two models is set. Purchased by the 305mm (1 foot) length. A calculator on the Roll a Ramp website assists clients to determine the length they require in relation to the height they need to ramp.
* Bi Fold Vehicle Systems
Manually or powered folding ramps are bolted to the door of a van

Factors To Consider

These ramps would be difficult (too heavy) for a single wheelchair user to transport unassisted

Installation

* When positioning, ensure the approach tread as well as the adjacent tread are both positioned flat on the upper surface being ramped. For semi permanent mounting, a mounting bracket is available - one suitable for vehicle mounting and one suitable for building landings.
* Ramps longer than 3 metres need additional bracing support beneath the ramp, which is supplied.
