The ramp people folding wheelchair ramp 5ft (152cm) – 300kg capacity
This folding aluminium ramp takes the hassle out of kerbs, doorsteps and thresholds. It’s light enough to pop in the boot, sturdy enough for everyday mobility needs and simple to use — ideal if getting out and about without faff is the aim.
Key features
Nice and straightforward — here’s what matters:
- Strong but light construction: aluminium keeps the weight down (approx 11.2kg) while offering a sensible 300kg load capacity.
- Good usable width: internal width 715mm (total width 720mm), so most wheelchairs and three‑wheeled scooters fit comfortably.
- Safety first: anti‑slip surface, 3cm high safety edges to stop wheels running off, plus a rubber rest‑on connection to help prevent slipping on the step.
- Thoughtful hinge and foot design: flat hinge cuts down trip hazards and the slightly curved foot and rest give a smoother entry and exit.
- Portable and easy: folds like a book, clips shut for storage and has a built‑in carry handle for shifting it between home, car or work.
Practical details and when to use it
Dimensions: 1524mm x 720mm x 30mm. The ramp folds in half for transport and is designed for a maximum step height of about 250mm for assisted wheelchair use (roughly a 1:6 gradient). For unassisted users, mobility scooters and walkers you’ll want a gentler slope where possible — aim for around 190mm (about a 1:8 gradient). In short: longer ramps give a smoother, safer climb.
This is the sort of ramp you keep in the boot for visiting friends, use at home for an awkward doorstep, or have at work for temporary access. No installation needed — just unfold, rest it on the step and you’re good to go.
Typical problems this solves
- No more wrestling with single steps when going in and out of shops or homes.
- A quick, temporary access solution when a permanent ramp isn’t practical.
- Saves unnecessary lifting of chairs or scooters over kerbs, which is safer for both the user and the carer.
Extra notes and tips
Always measure the rise of your step before buying — when in doubt, opt for a longer ramp to reduce the gradient. These ramps are engineered to stay put thanks to the curved rest‑on design, combined weight and angled foot, but always check the rest sits flush before use. Many UK customers may be eligible for VAT relief if the ramp is for a long‑term disability, and registered charities may also qualify.
