Kolotool 3ft folding aluminium ramp for wheelchairs and scooters
Fed up with fiddly ramps that cause more bother than they’re worth? The KOLOTOOL 3ft folding aluminium ramp is a proper, no-nonsense solution — light enough to sling in the boot and solid enough for everyday use. It folds away neatly, has a handy carry handle and locks with safety pins so it won’t pop open when you’re carrying it or move about while in use.
Built to cope with your everyday needs
Made from weather-resistant aluminium with a frosted anti-slip surface, it gives genuine grip in wet conditions — rather handy after a typical British downpour. It’s rated to a maximum load of 362kg, with a manufacturer-recommended working capacity of 272kg for regular use, so it’ll cope with heavy scooters, manual and many powered wheelchairs, plus pushchairs and trolleys without batting an eyelid.
Dimensions and practical details
- Unfolded dimensions roughly 92cm x 72cm x 5cm; folded about 92cm x 36cm x 8cm, and it weighs around 7.7kg, so it’s genuinely portable.
- Supports a safe loading height of about 20cm when occupied and up to 30cm when unoccupied — ideal for most kerbs, small steps and vehicle thresholds.
- Integrated safety pins lock the ramp when folded and secure it to steps during use. The ground-level transition plate smooths the change from floor to ramp for a much less bumpy ride on and off.
Where it helps most
Great for getting wheelchairs and scooters into vehicles or over kerbs, making front-door thresholds accessible, or moving trolleys, bikes or pushchairs up a small step. It’s also handy for motorhome or van use where you need occasional accessibility without permanently altering the vehicle.
Care, tips and common questions
To keep it working well, avoid dragging very sharp objects across the anti-slip surface and don’t regularly exceed the recommended working load. If you’re unsure whether it suits a particular powered scooter, check the scooter’s weight and wheelbase against the ramp dimensions and load rating first. No faff with setup — unfold, lock with the pins, position the transition plate and you’re good to go.
All told, the KOLOTOOL ramp is a straightforward, reliable accessibility aid: portable, durable and fitted with the practical bits that actually matter when you’re out and about.
