A Secure and Slip-Resistant Scooter Ramp
Safety is paramount. The entire surface is slip-resistant, ensuring secure traction in all weather conditions. This scooter ramp also includes raised safety edges to help prevent accidental roll-offs, providing a secure path every time. Its weather-resistant construction ensures low maintenance and long-term use both indoors and outdoors.
What Height Step or Vehicle Will This Ramp Suit?
The right length depends on two things: the height you need to climb, and who is doing the climbing. A longer ramp spreads the same rise over a longer run, giving a gentler and safer slope.
The gradient matters more than the fit. A ramp long enough to physically reach a step can still be far too steep to use safely. As a general rule, a person self-propelling a manual wheelchair needs a much gentler slope than a powerchair or an assisted transfer. Use the table below to match your rise to the right length, and if you are between sizes, always choose the longer ramp.
- Single step or kerb (10cm to 20cm): The 91cm model suits most assisted or powered use at this height.
- Two steps or a low vehicle sill (20cm to 30cm): Choose the 122cm model.
- Van or SUV loading (30cm to 38cm): Choose the 152cm model.
- Self-propelling a manual wheelchair: Drop one size down in rise for every length, as shown in the self-propelled column below.
How to Measure Before You Buy
- Measure the rise. For steps, measure from the ground to the top surface. For a vehicle, measure from level ground to the loading lip of the boot, van floor, or door sill, with the vehicle parked as it normally would be.
- Measure your wheelbase. Measure the outside width across your wheels or scooter tyres. This ramp has a usable width of 74cm, so your equipment must sit comfortably inside that.
- Check the approach space. You need the full length of the ramp on level ground, plus room to line up straight on. Kerbside loading in a tight parking bay is the most common place this catches people out.
- Check the ground at the base. The ramp needs a firm, level footing. Soft verge, loose gravel, or a sloping gutter will change the effective gradient and should be avoided.
- Consider who will carry it. These ramps weigh between 10.7kg and 16.1kg. If one person will be lifting it in and out of a vehicle daily, factor that in alongside the length.
