Portable wheelchair ramps are essential devices that enable people who use wheelchairs, scooters, or walkers to overcome physical barriers and access different places. They are made of strong and lightweight materials, such as aluminum, steel, or wood, that can support various weights and sizes. They are also easy to fold and unfold, which makes them convenient to transport and store in vehicles or homes. Portable wheelchair ramps come in different styles and designs, such as telescoping, roll-up, access, modular, or threshold ramps, that can be used for different situations and needs. They can be set up to create a smooth and safe transition between different levels of elevation, such as stairs, doorways, or curbs. They can also be adjusted to different lengths and heights to match the slope and distance required. Portable wheelchair ramps are a great solution for improving the mobility and independence of people with disabilities, as they allow them to access various places and activities without relying on others. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the proper wheelchair ramp slope is 1:12, which means that for every inch of vertical rise, there must be 12 horizontal inches (one foot) of ramp. This ratio is designed to ensure maximum accessibility and safety for wheelchair users. However, in some cases where space is limited, the ADA allows for steeper slopes of up to 1:8 for existing buildings and facilities. At Your Medical Store, we have wheelchair ramps that can fit almost all needs. Our Prairie View Industries (PVI) Ramps are Proudly Made in Nebraska, USA!
