Customer Review :
PVI 16x32 wheelchair ramp is a bargain and reliable.
I purchased this size ramp to handle wheelchair access over the two-inch threshold to our house and it has done that, but I wish now that I had selected a size longer than 16 inches in order to have a more gradual incline. I use a power wheelchair with plenty of power but have found that the chair's direction becomes a little unstable when it reaches the top of the ramp due to the slope, necessitating careful maneuvering to continue in a straight line into the house. It was easy to install, however, with the included mounting screws and seems sturdy and durable.

ramp
this ramp that I purchased from prairie view industries is very safe, stable and reliable for the use of wheel chairs and carts. I recomend anybody looking for a portable ramp, this one is the one to buy!
Rating :     
Excellent portable ramp
I purchased the 7 foot length of this ramp. This is an excellent ramp. Very clever design, and very well built. The fact that it will fold and separate into two sections, each with it's own handle, makes it very managable. The video is good. 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.
Packing was good. Extra cap of cardboard around end of ramp provided extra protection in the box. Ramp is reasonably priced - and Amazon Prime shipping is a great deal for an item like this.

Prarie View 10 foot ramp for 2 steep porch stairs.. 21"
It's strong and practical.. folds easily though I have a wide stair and leave it up on one side. The pins pop up but not out during use.. don't trip! I might tape them down, though they don't seem necessary.
Works well in rain. I bought the 10' length for two stairs totaling a 21 inch rise. It's plain and industrial looking, not for show. I do not recommend it for solo use as it's 30" wide with no rails. I push my 270 lb mother in a extra wide 19"seat wheelchair up the ramp with no problem.
Mine was delivered in a torn open box with no invoice and a slight ding but that issue was resolved to my satisfaction. Nothing could make me return this product. It saves my back and frees my mother from stress!

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.

Question : Does anyone know who I can contact to have a wheelchair ramp built?
I live on a fixed income due to my dissability and cant afford to pay anyone or get a loan to have one built. Any sugestions would be very helpfull.
Answer:
Contact your local Boy Scout Troop. Eagle candidates need to do a service project. They are always on the look out for appropriate tasks. This is exactly the kind of thing they like to do. The only drawback is there is some lag time, because the project needs to be approved by the BSA regional people, before the work can get started. They can fund raise and will work under trained adult supervision. You can even take some satisfaction in that you're helping some hard-working kid achieve a pretty difficult goal.

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 : How can I build a simple, portable yet safe wheelchair ramp?
We have 4 stairs and I'd love to find a way for my sister who needs a wheelchair to come visit us. I don't need a permanant structure, she would come only 2 -3 times per year if we could get her up some kind of ramp.
Answer:
if you would like to build one you can go too http://www.instructables.com/id/ECJY5ZWGOMEP286QWG/ for plans or you can buy one at http://www.portable-wheelchair-ramps.com/

Question : What is the proper rise for a wheelchair/scooter ramp.?
My porch is 26 inches high, I weigh 170 lbs, and the scooter probably weighs less than 200 lbs
Answer:
ADA requirements are a slope of 1" rise for every 12" of run. This makes for a huge ramp, in your case 26 feet long. That mild slope will allow a person in a wheelchair to make it up the slope unassisted.
That being said, you may not need that much. Electric chairs and scooters will list the maximum slope they can handle for a given weight. Since this is personal property, you may not be required to adhear to ADA requirements. I built one here in CA to get into a trailer. We were able to use a 2 in 12 slope (which cuts the length in half). If you have the room, use the lower slope, but that just can't happen all the time.
There are other requirements that need to be followed as well. Guard rails are required, and landings if the ramp must turn corners in order to get the length requred.
As far as materials, concrete is always the best, but it can be made from wood (attaching the guard rail/ hand rail at the bottom is tricky).

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!
