Metal Ramps

Metal Ramps for Different Access Requirements

Metal wheelchair ramps are available in different designs to suit specific access needs. Before choosing a ramp, consider where it will be used, the height it needs to overcome, and whether temporary or permanent access is required.

• Doorways
  Metal ramps can help wheelchair users navigate small thresholds and raised doorways more easily.
• Steps
  Ramps can provide an alternative route over steps where the ramp length and design are suitable for the required height.
• Vehicle Access
  Portable metal ramps can help users load and unload wheelchairs and other mobility equipment from suitable vehicles.
• Temporary Access
  Portable and folding metal ramps can provide temporary access in locations where a permanent ramp is not practical.

Metal Wheelchair Ramp Features

Metal wheelchair ramps include features designed to support safe and practical access. Key features include:

• Metal Construction
  Durable metal construction provides a sturdy structure for regular use. The specific material and finish may vary by model.
• Weight Capacity
  Each ramp has a specified weight capacity. Always check the manufacturer’s recommended load limit before use.
• Surface Traction
  Many metal ramps feature a textured or slip-resistant surface to improve traction for wheelchair wheels and reduce the risk of slipping.
• Length
  Ramp length determines the height it can accommodate and affects the resulting slope. The appropriate length depends on the height and intended application.
• Width
  Ramp width provides the space needed for a wheelchair or other compatible mobility equipment to move across the surface safely.
• Folding or Fixed Construction
  Folding metal ramps can be transported and stored when not in use, while fixed ramps are designed for more permanent access installations.
