Advantages of Trifold and Single Fold Portable Wheelchair Ramps
The advantages of having a portable ramp are as many as the different applications you will use it for. It is definitely one of the most versatile accessibility products available. They fold out to give you safe access wherever you go. The ramps simply fold up suitcase style to offer easy transport and storage of the ramp. Take it with you wherever you go in your vehicle. You never know what situations you will get into where you need a ramp and one is not available (like a curb or inaccessible steps at a friend’s home, doctor visit, shopping, park, movie, church…) They can handle the heavy weight of a power scooter, motorcycle or two people and a mobility device.
You need to consult your Accessibility professional to determine which size foldable handicap ramp you need, and which length is best for you.
