Folding Wheelchair Ramp

Very well built and sturdy, though somewhat industrial in fit and finish. If you need a folding wheelchair ramp, this one will definitely do the job. We run a 300# power chair over it many times a day without so much as a creak.

Awsome Portability

This ramp is a perfect portable access solution for folks in wheelchairs. Many times when I am visiting a friend's home there are entry/exit obstacles. I carry this light-weight ramp in my van at all times. When we need it we just pull it out, unfold it, and the (sometimes very awkward) problem is solved. No one in a wheelchair enjoys being picked up and lifted into someone's house. This product is very well made.

Rating :



great product and arrived very quickly!

This ramp is exactly what I needed. We can take it out when my father visits and put it away quickly once he is in the house. Shipping was very fast and it arrived in perfect condition.

Very Pleased With This Ramp

Very well made, safe, easy to use, non-skid
wheelchair ramp. Fits perfectly and safely
on the side entrance of the van. Folds and
fits nicely between the wheelchair and the
front seats. Use the tie down straps for
the wheelchair or bungee cords through the
handle to secure it to the floor
when driving van without the wheelchair.
Works well on house entrance too.
Exceptional quality and fantastic price.

Not like picture

The picture shows the side rails much lower than they acctually are. I was quite dissapointed to find that I cannot leave the ramp down because my door will not pass over the top of the side rails.

PVI Ramp (rating for ramp only - shipping daamge was an issue)

I purchased the 4 and 5 (SL430, SL530) foot length of this ramp. This is an excellent ramp. Good design, and very well built. Safe, semi-permanent installation may require some drilling for the supplied safety pins. You should check the manufacturer's web site (search for "pviramps") for recommendations on proper ramp length for various step heights to achieve a safe installation. The ramp is not green as shown in the picture (as of Oct 2007). It is aluminum with black anti-slip covering.

Shipping was a problem. One ramp came with minor dent and I elected to keep it. Heavier ramp came with a serious bend in top threshold lip. The replacement ramp was damaged in a similar manner and the side lip was bent. The second replacement ramp arrived with the top threshold in good shape and minor dent on the side lip near the bottom. I elected to keep it. It seems to me that the shipping packaging is not as well thought out as the ramp. The even heaver muilt-fold ramp from PVI comes packed with an cardboard sleeve around the end of the ramp that provides some extra protection.

I contacted PVI. They were aware of the shipping problems with the heaver ramps and say they are working on fixing the problem.

Amazon made it very easy to return the damaged ramp and was always helpful, even cheerful, in handling this. Prime shipping was a great deal for heavy items, like these ramps!

So 5 stars for the ramp itself, 2 stars for shipping container, 5 stars for Amazon's handling damaged item.

Question : We need to get a removable wheelchair ramp for a height of 75cm, any ideas of minimum lengths?
It's hardly ever going to be used and there would be people to assist. We are just trying to work out how long it needs to be to make the gradient workable.

Answer:
There are standards for this and I'll have a look for you. British Standard 8300 couild be the one to go for.....Section 5.8.10:Portable ramps should have a surface width of at least 800 mm, adrainable, slip-resistant surface and upstands at least 100 mm high toprevent wheelchair tyres veering off the edge5.8.2 Gradient of a rampA ramp should have the lowest practical gradient within the range 1:20 to 1:12.The gradient of a ramp flight in relation to its going should be no steeper than that shown in Table 1.Table 1....Going up: Not exceeding 2mMaximum Gradient: 1:12 which I think is a bit shallow but that is what it says

 

Question : Is the cost of building a wheelchair ramp tax deductible if I am renting the home?
My wife and I paid our own money to add a wheelchair ramp to a home that we are renting. I'm quite sure that this cost would be deductible if we owned the home, but I'm not clear about our status with this as renters. Is it spelled out clearly someplace?

Answer:
While its not really relevant to this question, homeowners can only include capital improvements for medical reasons (ie: a wheelchair ramp) in medical expenses to the extent which the cost of the improvement exceeds the increase in home value due to the improvement.

Question : Liability for having Renters Build Wheelchair Ramp?
We're renting a house that has no wheelchair accessibility. Their last house they said didn't have ramps either and that their son built them. My G/F and I, as landlords, are wondering the legality of allowing the family to build this ramp and how we can put it somewhere in the lease that avoids us from being liable 100%.Rita, thanks. Most of my question was in regards to them building it themselves.

Answer:
By law, you must allow handicap modifications if you rent the property to someone in a wheelchair. As part of your lease, you should (for all renters) require renters insurance to cover their belongings together with any potential liability that may arise because of their tenancy. You should also require that the ramp be built to code (whatever the local laws require as far as handrails, etc.). In addition, you can require the ramp be removed upon termination of the lease.

I have a 9 year old son with cerebral palsy and he's getting too big for my car. I'm in the process of buying a used van, but I'm going to need a ramp put in and I don't have the money to do it. A few people said the Lions Club, or Rotary Club. But, I've never had to ask for money from an organization. I'm just not sure where to start.

Answer:
Another good one is the shriners,they sponser my daughter,5yo w/cerebral palsy.We haven't gotten a van yet,and I'm not sure if they will help.If you buy a new van,both Chevy and Ford have programs that will pay up to 500 and up to 1000$ of the retrofit.I looked for my favorite's links to some site's,but could not find them.Try searching handicap accessible grant.

Question : We need to build a temporary wheelchair ramp.?
Does anyone know where my dad and I can get plans for a temporary ramp? All the plans we have found involve making it a permanent part of the house. My mother just had surgery that is going to confine her to a wheelchair for only about 3 months. We need a plan that is quick to put up and take down, but will be strudy enough to last a couple months. Any links or ideas? Thanks!

Answer:
My husband built a wooden temporary ramp for my mother using 2x4's and plywood. He attached it to our deck and when she no longer needed it, he removed it. You can use any plan for a wooden wheelchair ramp but attach it to a deck or porch using screws that can be removed later.Do not use materials that make it a permanent fixture like concrete place the support studs on paving stones to keep them from sinking in the dirt and follow the rest of the plans Just use screws instead of nails so it can be removed and disasembled when no longer needed..Make sure you use something on the surface for traction and old piece of carpet or a plastic runner turned bumpy side up.
