Portable Ramp Hire Guide
When You Might Need a Ramp
Portable ramps assist wheelchair users and mobility scooter users in navigating steps, doorways, and level changes. They're essential for temporary access solutions and perfect for holidays or trying before investing in permanent installations.
Setting Up Your Ramp
Portable suitcase ramps fold open and lock securely. Position the ramp at a gentle angle (ideally not steeper than 1 in 12, or about 5 degrees), ensure it's stable and secure, then use it to navigate steps safely.
Always ensure the ramp is positioned on a level surface at both top and bottom and that all locking mechanisms are engaged before use.
