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.

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.

Questions & Answers
Question : Assume that a wheelchair ramp has a slope of 1/12,which is the maximum slope recommended for a wheelchair...?
...for a wheel chair ramp. A wheelchair has a 15 foot run. What is its rise? A wheelchair ramp rises 2 feet. What is its run? CAn some one tell me how to do this you dont need to give me the answer just the equation. THANK YOU!!!!

Answer:
I"ll set them up: 1/12 = x/15 solve for x. 1/12 = 2/x solve for x. Essentially, you are finding fractions equal to 1/12.

 

Question : how to bulid a wood wheelchair ramp?
how to bulid a wood wheelchair ramp?

Answer:
For every inch in height you must make ramp 18 inches in length. Build a sturdy frame of 2x4's and attach 3/4 inch plywood on top. It's kinda hard to tell you without more info but you can always go to the nearest lumber dept. and ask for advice. Good Luck.

 

Question : Does anyone know what it would cost me to build a wheelchair ramp for a 35" high starting point?
Wooden I'm guessing would be cheaper but I'm not sure. Please only people who know what they are talking about. Tx

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.

 

Question : Does anyone know of an organization that would help pay for a wheelchair ramp for a van?
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 : Which is the best Indian SUV/MUV for a wheelchair bound person using a rear entry ramp. Kindly advise.?
My son is physically handicapped and confined to wheel chair. I want to purchase a vehicle, which has a provision to put the child along with the wheelchair, using a ramp. Rear entry is preferred to avoid traffic problems.Kindly advise.

Answer:
I think you are missing something. Most wheelchair vans are not rear entry, most are side entry. The major decision is between Full Sized Van (typically rear entry and typically with a lift) and Mini Van (typically side entry and typically ramp) Have a look at the article below and you will see this issue discussed in the section"Minivan versus Full Sized Van". If you anyway decide on Full Sized Van, the most commonly sold van is Ford E-250 as you will see discussed in the article. Good luck!

 

Question : how do you find volunteers to build a wheelchair ramp for my wife who is disabled .?
We need a wheel chair ramp for my wife who is depended on oxygen and is a diabeticand has copd and she has gotten to the point where she cannot get in and out of our doublewide mobile home anymore ,where can I find help for her,I'm not a carpender and know nothing about how to build one safely,can't aford to pay a contracter a whole lot of money.where do people find help without being on those long waiting list.

Answer:
Check with local service clubs such as Kiwanis, Rotary, JayCees, Boy Scouts, etc. Perhaps a local church & it's members may offer to help. Good hearted people & volunteers are in every community. They just need to know who needs help. Perhaps you could get your local newspaper to put out an appeal?
