Homcom folding aluminium wheelchair ramp – 6ft portable access aid
This folding ramp is a straightforward, practical way to get over kerbs, small steps and vehicle thresholds without breaking a sweat. Made for everyday use, it helps you move wheelchairs, pushchairs, walkers and certain mobility scooters up short rises without too much faffing about. When you’re done it folds away into a compact, suitcase-style unit with a carry handle — handy for stashing in the car boot or the garage.
Key features
- The ramp is built from anti-corrosive aluminium, so it’ll cope with wet weather and outdoor use without rusting — useful if it spends time in the boot or outside.
- An anti-slip surface gives good grip for wheels and tyres, making climbs steadier and users more confident.
- Raised guardrails run along both sides to stop wheels wandering off the edge — a simple safety touch that matters.
- Folding design with a carry handle makes it portable; at 15.1 kg it’s on the heavy side, so best handled by two people when moving it about.
- Adjustable application height: 17–45 cm. For the most comfortable, stable use we’d recommend a working height of 18–30 cm.

Who is this for and when to use it
- Anyone needing a quick way to bridge a low step, kerb or small threshold for wheelchair or pushchair access.
- Carers who want a portable solution to load a wheelchair into a vehicle without lifting chair and passenger separately.
- Families with pushchairs or mobility scooters that occasionally need a little help over short rises — just double-check the scooter’s weight against the ramp’s capacity before use.
Things to know before buying
If you need to carry heavier mobility scooters, bear in mind the manufacturer’s full load rating isn’t shown here — do check that with the seller. The ramp is robust and stable, but its 15.1 kg weight means two people are recommended for handling and positioning it safely. If you’re unsure about fit, consult the seller’s size chart to make sure the ramp suits your vehicle or step height and won’t create too steep an angle when in use.
Easy tips
Place the ramp on a clean, level surface and make sure the top edge is sitting securely against the higher platform before rolling anything up it. Take it steady — slow, controlled movement is far safer for the person using the wheelchair or scooter. And once folded, store it upright in a dry spot to keep the carry handle and hinges in good nick.
Overall, this HOMCOM ramp is a practical, no-nonsense solution for everyday access issues — quick to set up, easy to fold away and made from materials that handle British weather well. No more awkward lifting or clambering over small steps — a proper bonus on a rainy day.
