KOLOTOOL 6ft extra-wide foldable aluminium wheelchair ramp – 800 lb capacity
If you’re after a dependable, portable way to get over thresholds, kerbs and into vehicles without any faff, this ramp is worth a look. It’s wide enough for broader wheelchairs and mobility scooters, folds down small enough to tuck in the boot, and comes with practical safety bits that actually help when it’s wet or tricky underfoot.
Key features
- Constructed from thickened aluminium alloy panels to limit flex and keep things steady as you go up or down.
- A full-piece black anti-slip coating covers the whole surface — not just a flimsy strip that can peel — so grip stays put, even in damp weather.
- Raised side baffles and reflective safety strips help keep wheels guided and improve visibility in poor light — handy if you’re arriving home after dark.
- Includes a transition plate at the bottom for a smoother start to the incline and a silicone pad at the top to bite into steps and stop slipping.
- Folds in half and uses a stainless steel hinge plus a silicone carry handle, so carrying and storing it is straightforward.
Technical details
Unfolded size: 72″ x 29.2″ x 2″. Folded size: 36″ x 14.6″ x 6.3″. Weight: approx 39.6 lb (≈18 kg). Load capacity: 800 lb (362 kg). Recommended use height: 6″–18″ (152–457 mm). Best suited to vehicle openings under about 26″ wide, and ideal for domestic steps, scooters, trolleys and pet cages.
Where this ramp helps most
- Loading a manual or powered wheelchair into a car boot or van without heavy lifting.
- Getting over kerbs, thresholds or short doorsteps at home — no more heaving the wheelchair over the lip.
- Moving heavy trolleys, prams or small mobility scooters across uneven edges.
- Providing temporary access for visitors, deliveries or repair work when a permanent ramp isn’t practical.
Practical advantages and a few notes
The design keeps things simple: no fiddly setup, no loose bits to lose. The stainless hinge resists rust and the carry handle is comfortable when folded, so it’s genuinely portable. Little touches like the reflective tape and high-grip surface are small but make a real difference on wet days or at night.
One thing to check before buying: measure the width of the vehicle opening or step — the ramp is best for openings under about 26″. If you’ll be using it regularly at the maximum recommended height, have a look at the ramp angle to make sure it feels safe for your particular wheelchair or scooter — steeper angles can be trickier for some users.
Quality is backed by a one-year warranty (excluding accidental damage). If you’re unsure whether this ramp will suit a very specific vehicle or mobility device, give the dimensions and weight limits a quick once-over first. All in all, it’s a solid, no-nonsense bit of kit for everyday mobility and loading needs.
