Regain Your Freedom with a Portable Wheelchair Ramp

Are steps, kerbs, and raised doorways a constant source of frustration?

Our Centre-Fold Portable Wheelchair Ramp is a safe, reliable bridge over the step, engineered to give you easy access wherever life takes you.

Key Features of Your New Folding Wheelchair Ramp

This compact and dependable disability access ramp offers a strong, lightweight solution for effortless access over steps, kerbs, and raised surfaces. It is an ideal choice for gaining independence at home and on the go.

• Manufactured from High-Strength Materials: Made from lightweight aluminium for superior durability and ease of handling.
• High Weight Capacity: Safely supports wheelchairs, scooters, and walkers with a safe working load of up to 272kg.
• Centre-Fold Design: A central hinge runs the length of the ramp, so it folds in half down the middle to roughly 37cm wide for storage against a wall or behind a door.
• Built-in Carry Handles: Integrated handles sit on the hinge line, making setup and repositioning simple for one person.
• Slip-Resistant Surface: The high-traction ribbed surface holds a secure grip for wheels in wet and dry weather, making it a truly safe wheelchair ramp.
• Raised Safety Edges: 5cm side edges help prevent accidental roll-off, providing extra peace of mind during use.
• Weather Resistant: This low-maintenance access ramp is weather-resistant for long-term use indoors or outdoors.

What Length Do I Need?

This is a step ramp. It lays over one or more steps, a kerb, or a raised doorway, and the length you need depends entirely on how high you are climbing.

Every size covers the same 74cm width and carries the same 272kg. The only thing length changes is how steep the climb feels, and that is the single thing that decides whether this ramp works for you. Too short for the step and the ramp becomes a slope nobody can safely push up or ride down.

Two gradients matter, and both come from the Australian Standard for access and mobility, AS 1428.1:

• 1:14 (gentle). The standard's gradient for any rise over 190mm, and the only one that suits someone propelling a manual wheelchair themselves or using the ramp unaccompanied. Every 14cm of ramp length buys 1cm of step height.
• 1:10 (steeper, with a helper). The standard's maximum for a step ramp covering a rise between 35mm and 190mm. This suits a powered wheelchair, a mobility scooter, a walker, or a manual chair with someone assisting.

If you are choosing between two lengths, always take the longer one. A ramp that is gentler than you strictly need costs you a little more floor space and nothing else.

If your total rise is more than 19cm, no ramp on this page will do the job safely. You need a modular or semi-permanent ramp instead. Contact us and we will point you to one.

A Note on Storage and Transport

The centre fold runs along the length of the ramp, not across it. Folded, the ramp is about half its open width and still its full length. The 61cm and 91cm sizes travel easily in a car boot. The 152cm and 183cm sizes are best suited to a fixed location at home, or to a van or wagon with the seats down. If you need a ramp that collapses short enough for a small boot, ask us about the multi-fold version, which folds twice.

How to Measure Before You Buy

1. Measure the total rise. Rest a tape measure on the ground at the bottom and measure straight up to the surface you want to reach. Measure the whole climb in one go, not each step separately. Three steps of 15cm is a 45cm rise, not a 15cm one.
2. Check the landing at the top. You need a flat area at least as deep as your wheelchair or scooter is long, so you can come off the ramp and stop before opening a door.
3. Measure the run-out space at the bottom. Pace out the ramp length from the base of the step and check nothing is in the way: a car, a garden bed, a fence, a path that turns sharply.
4. Measure your device width. Measure across the widest point, usually the wheels or the armrests. The ramp is 74cm wide overall, and the 5cm raised side edges sit inside that, so leave yourself room to steer.
5. Check the ground at both ends. Soft lawn, loose gravel, or a driveway that slopes away from the step will change how the ramp sits. It needs firm, level footing top and bottom.

Once you have your total rise, find it in the table below and pick the shortest ramp that covers it in the column that matches how the ramp will be used. If you fall between two sizes, size up.
