The Ramp People folding wheelchair ramp 2ft (61cm) – portable access made simple
This is a proper handy bit of kit that makes everyday life a little less of a faff. If doorsteps, thresholds or kerbs are a pain, this compact folding ramp gives quick, temporary access with no installation or fiddly tools. It folds up like a book, clips shut and has a built‑in handle, so it’s easy to carry and tuck away when you’re done.
Key benefits and everyday use
Perfect for occasional or temporary access at home, at work or when you’re out and about. The ramp suits manual wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs, mobility scooters and walkers. The slightly curved front and the curved rest‑on connection make getting on and off much smoother — a real bonus in wet or icy weather. The flat hinge lowers trip risk and means it works well with three‑wheeled mobility scooters and walkers.
- Easy to use: no installation — simply unfold and rest the ramp on the step, kerb or threshold.
- Secure underfoot: anti‑slip aluminium surface and 30mm safety edges help stop wheels slipping off the side.
- Stays put: rubber on the rest‑on connection plus the ramp’s weight and curved design help keep it stable in use.
- Portable: folds flat, clips closed and has a built‑in carry handle for straightforward transport and storage.
- Suitable for many users: 300kg capacity covers most manual and powered wheelchairs, scooters and walkers.
Technical details and guidance
Dimensions (folded): 61 x 72 x 6 cm. Internal usable width: 715mm; total width 720mm. Weight: approx. 4.2kg. Capacity: 300kg. The ramp is made from lightweight, durable aluminium and features a flat hinge and curved rest‑on connection with rubber grip.
Gradient advice: for assisted manual wheelchair users a maximum step height of 100mm is acceptable (approx. 1:6). For unassisted users, mobility scooters and walkers a gentler slope is recommended — aim for a maximum step height of 75mm (approx. 1:8). Remember, a longer ramp always gives a gentler, easier gradient.
Common questions
Will it fit my doorway? The usable width is 715mm; double‑check your doorway or scooter width before ordering. Can it be used with other ramps? Yes — many people pair an outdoor folding ramp with a small threshold ramp indoors to manage stepped entrances. Is VAT relief available? For UK buyers with long‑term disabilities and registered charities, VAT relief may apply — worth checking when you place your order.
People often ask how well it grips the step. The curved rest‑on, angled foot and rubber grip all help keep it steady, but always test stability before driving or wheeling onto the ramp. No complicated setup, no tools — just practical, portable access when you need it.
