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.

Rating :

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.

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.

Rating :

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 : 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?

Question : in oregon what is the minimum slope for a wheelchair ramp?
my mother-in -law is wheelchair-bound for the rest of her life... I want to build her a ramp to allow her husband and 2 sons (they live in the same house) to let her enjoy the clean air and out-of-doors. Is there a recommended slope (inches per foot) for a wheelchair ramp NOT A HANDYCAMP RAMP? She is unable to propel herself but I feel She would bebefit from the air outside...

Answer:
I built handicap ramps for FEMA after Hurricane Katrina and the federal standard then was 1 inch per foot and after each 20ft a landing was to be made for resting whether or not electric or self propelled or someone else was pushing. That standard also went for those whom needing canes or crutches to walk also. Mind you ,now these ramps where built off a deck landing right beneath the door of either a mobile home or travel trailer,so if it was 40 inches from the ground to just below the door;you were looking at 40 ft ramp with the deck landing and the 20 ft rest landing that could be a minimum of 5ftx5FT we had to take into account the width of the chair and height of the person ;in case the rest landing had to make any turns in a different direction. Say perhaps easy access to automobile. We usually used 5/8 4x8 to run the ramp stilted with 2x4 with 15 inch gaps with 2x4 hand rails and floor guide boards.

Question : Wheelchair Ramp-A contractor is building a wheelchair accessibility ramp ?
(see figure) for a business. Using your knowledge of right-triangle trigonometry, help advise him how to create a ramp whose dimensions will meet the specification needed that will allow wheelchair accessibility. Talk about the procedure the contractor will need to follow to find the dimensions of the three sides and the measurements of the three angles. Consider the implications of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in your discussion and provide an example.

Answer:
Basic issue is the maximum safe ramp angle. If you know the height difference then you can find the length of ramp by the following relationship:ramp length = (height change) / sin (ramp angle)suppose the height difference is 4 ft, and safe maximum ramp angle is 10 degree (I don't know this angle is correct, you need to look this up at ADA website). Then the length of ramp is:ramp length = 4 / sin 10 = 23 ft.
