Threshold Ramps

Even the smallest of steps can be a hassle for people who use wheelchairs or utilize other mobility aids for rolling such as walkers or rollerators. There is a simple but efficient solution - a portable ramp for thresholds. These ramps offer a sturdy platform that is slightly inclined, making it easier to maneuver through landings, doors curbs, and other obstacles. Our range of wheelchair ramps are available in a variety of styles including rubber units, aluminium versions, and folding models for easy storage and transportation.

To determine which type of ramp is best for your needs, start by measuring the height of the incline. Then, search for a ramp that is long enough to cover the length of this rise. For example the ramp for a threshold of six inches would need to extend approximately a foot to provide a sufficient incline for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

After you've found an appropriate ramp for your needs, it's also important to determine whether or not it is in compliance with ADA requirements. These guidelines state that wheelchair ramps should be a minimum of 12 inches in length for every inch of rise they cover, so make sure any ramp you buy is in line with this standard.

Then, you'll have to select the ramp that is portable or permanent, depending on your own personal preference and the amount of use you're expecting. If you're just using the ramp for occasional visits from friends and family it's likely to be the ideal. If you intend to use the ramp daily and need it to be stable and sturdy the permanent installation is better.
