Threshold Ramps

Getting over even the smallest step in the home can be difficult for wheelchair users as well as those using other rolling mobility aids, such as walkers and rollators. Fortunately, there is a simple solution that can aid by providing a portable ramp for thresholds. These ramps offer a solid platform that is slightly inclined, making it easier to maneuver through doors, elevated landings as well as curbs and other obstacles. Our range of wheelchair ramps can be found in a number of styles including rubber wheelchair ramps for home units, aluminum versions, and folding versions for easy storage and transportation.

Start by measuring the height. Then, you should look for a ramp sufficient in length to cover the length of this rise. For instance the ramp for a threshold of six inches would need to extend around a foot to provide a sufficient incline for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

It's important to check whether the ramp you pick is in compliance with ADA standards. According to these guidelines wheelchair ramps must be at least 12 inches in length for every inch of rise.

You'll also need to choose whether you'd like a ramp that's portable or a permanent ramp, depending on the level of use you anticipate and your personal preferences. If you're just using the ramp for occasional visits by family and friends it's likely to be the ideal. If you plan to use the ramp regularly and want it to be sturdy and stable, then a permanent installation is the best choice.
