Aidapt 3ft folding aluminium ramp – portable suitcase ramp
This 3ft folding ramp is a handy bit of kit for getting in and out of cars, negotiating thresholds or getting up small kerbs. It’s one of those simple solutions that saves a lot of faff and gives you confidence — especially when the weather’s a bit grim. The ramp folds up like a suitcase, has a sturdy carry handle and tucks away neatly in most boots and vans without taking up much room.
Built for everyday use
Made from lightweight, rust-free aluminium, the ramp is easy to lift (weighs around 8 kg) yet robust enough for regular use. Milled treads across the surface add extra grip in wet conditions, while raised side walls help keep wheelchair or scooter wheels where they should be. Stainless-steel fittings and simple security locks keep the ramp rigid when in use and safe during transport.
Practical specifications
- The ramp folds to a compact size for storage: product dimensions approx 95 x 40 x 10 cm when folded.
- Load capacity: 272 kg (approximately 42 stone) — plenty for most mobility scooters, wheelchairs and rollators.
- No tools or assembly required; supplied ready to use — just unfold and go.
Where it helps most
Ideal for doorway thresholds, low kerbs, car and van access and short rises. If getting out and about feels like a palaver, this ramp reduces the hassle of stepping over awkward lips or heaving wheels up by hand. It’s especially useful on shopping trips, visits or holidays — and a real bonus in winter when surfaces are slippery.
Useful notes before buying
The ramp is intended for short, low rises rather than long or very steep steps — check the angle and length needed for your scooter or wheelchair so the slope is safe. For steep drops or continuous rises, you’ll likely need a longer or bespoke ramp. If you’re unsure, measure the height difference and compare it with the ramp length to make sure the gradient feels comfortable for the user and vehicle.
