Choosing A Portable Medical Ramp
If you are in a wheelchair (or a scooter) because you have mobility issues, you may find that the real world isn't as accommodating as you would like it to be in terms of allowing you to get around while you are in your chair or scooter. While most business have wheelchair ramps, if you are visiting your children or a neighbor, they may not have a medical ramp to help you get into their home. What's more, you may face these same difficulties if you rely on others to transport you from one location to another. Fortunately, there is a solution to our problem.
Medical ramps come in all shapes and sizes and for nearly any situation you can possibly imagine. So, it should come to no great surprise that you can also purchase a portable ramp that can easily be taken from one location to another to allow you the access that you need. What's more, you will find that you can find portable ramps at local stores like WalMart, or you can find other sources online. Lastly, portable ramps are very affordable while still being functional and safe.
Drive Medical is one company that makes a variety of medical ramps from portable options to stationary ramps attached to a vehicle, home, etc. A couple of their portable options are their single fold portable wheelchair / scooter ramp. It costs about $89 - 217, depending on the size you purchase, and offers a very affordable option for people who need a ramp on the go. The more expensive option is better for using for high steps as well as entering and exiting a vehicle. In addition, they also offer the Single Fold Suitcase style wheelchair / scooter ramp. This ramp is about $112 but is best used for small steps or curbs due to its size. Both of these ramps have a 600 pound weight limit.

For something that accommodate a little more weight as well as more height, the EZ Access Tri Fold Advantage Series AS10 Tri Fold medical ramp will do the trick. Again, this is portable but isn't meant to carry around by hand. Instead, this 800lb capacity ramp will allow you access to SUVs, buses (if necessary) and up at least 4 steps. The price is still not to bad at $300 but offers you more diversity when it comes to choosing your transportation and the vehicles that you can ride in. |
