Wheelchair ramp 1.525m folding aluminium – reliable, portable access
This VELPAX folding ramp makes everyday journeys a bit easier — whether you’re popping a mobility scooter into the boot or avoiding a stubborn doorstep at home. It’s light enough to carry but built to be sturdy, and folds down small so you can tuck it in the boot or a cupboard without any faff.
Key features and what they mean for you
- The ramp unfolds to 152.5 x 72 x 6 cm and folds to 76.2 x 36 x 23 cm, so it’s long enough for gentle inclines yet compact when stored.
- Rated to carry 362 kg (0.362 tonne), suitable for most manual and electric wheelchairs, mobility scooters, powerchairs and walkers.
- Textured anti-slip surface gives extra grip in wet or dry conditions — handy on rainy days or when shoes are muddy.
- Transition plates at the base help the ramp sit flush with the ground, reducing the chance of wheels or toes catching.
- Reflective strips along both sides improve visibility in low light, while locking pins and strong hinges increase stability when it’s in use.
Practical details and a few sensible notes
The ramp is made from aluminium for a good balance of strength and weight, so it’s easier to lift yet robust enough for regular use. Some technical listings mistakenly mention alloy steel — if the exact material matters for your installation, it’s worth double-checking with the seller.
Reported unfolded size: 152.5 x 72 x 6 cm. Folded size: 76.2 x 36 x 23 cm. Item weight is approx. 15 kg (packaging may list slightly different weights).

Common questions answered
Will it fit my scooter or chair? The ramp supports up to 362 kg, but check your device’s wheelbase and tyre width against the ramp width (72 cm) to be sure. Does it slip? The transition plate and anti-slip surface greatly reduce slip risk, and the reflective strips help others see it in low light. Is it heavy? At around 15 kg it’s portable for most people, though a two-person lift is sensible for awkward manoeuvres.
In short, this VELPAX folding aluminium ramp is a practical, no-nonsense way to improve access without permanent alterations. It’s useful, straightforward and made to be used — no complicated setup, just unfold and go.
