Ramps are essential tools for providing access and mobility in various environments. Whether you're navigating steps curbs or door thresholds the right ramp can make a significant difference in accessibility and ease of movement. This guide will help you understand the different types of ramps available and their unique features so you can choose the best solution for your needs.
Types of ramp available to purchase
Folding Ramps
Folding ramps are designed for portability and convenience. They can be easily folded and stored when not in use making them ideal for travel or for use in multiple locations. Folding ramps are typically made of lightweight materials such as aluminium and are available in various lengths to suit different needs.
Non-Folding Ramps
Non-folding ramps are a more permanent solution typically used in fixed locations. These ramps are sturdier and can accommodate heavier loads making them suitable for areas that require regular use such as entrances to homes or buildings. Although they are not as portable as folding ramps non-folding ramps offer greater stability and durability.
Threshold Ramps
Threshold ramps are small ramps designed to help wheelchair and mobility scooter users navigate over small barriers such as door thresholds or slight height differences between rooms. These ramps are compact and easy to install offering a smooth transition between different surfaces.
Channel Ramps
Channel ramps consist of two separate tracks that can be positioned to align with the wheels of a wheelchair or mobility scooter. They are lightweight and portable making them ideal for loading and unloading mobility devices into vehicles. Channel ramps are adjustable and can be extended or shortened depending on the height of the obstacle.
Rollout Tracks
Rollout tracks are a flexible and portable ramp solution designed for temporary use over uneven or soft surfaces like grass gravel or dirt. These tracks can be easily rolled out and positioned to create a stable path for wheelchairs mobility scooters or pedestrians. Made from durable materials such as rubber or reinforced plastic rollout tracks provide a non-slip surface and can be rolled back up for convenient storage when not in use. They are particularly useful in outdoor settings where traditional ramps may not be practical.
Considerations when buying a ramp
Portability
If you need a ramp for travel or multiple locations a lightweight folding ramp or a set of channel ramps might be the best option. These ramps are easy to carry and store but may have weight limitations.
Load capacity
Consider the total weight the ramp needs to support including the user wheelchair or scooter. Non-folding ramps and some folding ramps are better suited for higher weight capacities making them ideal for regular long-term use.
Length and slope
The length of the ramp will determine the slope which is a crucial factor for safety and ease of use. A longer ramp provides a gentler incline making it easier to ascend or descend. Be sure to check the recommended incline ratio for your specific wheelchair or scooter.
Indoor vs outdoor use
Ramps designed for outdoor use often feature durable weather-resistant materials and non-slip surfaces. If you need a ramp for indoor use such as a threshold ramp consider compact options with a design suitable for smooth flooring.
Permanent vs temporary installation
Some ramps are designed for permanent or semi-permanent installation while others are portable and can be used in different locations. Think about how often you’ll need to move the ramp and whether you need a permanent solution for your home or business.
