Modular, Semi-Permanent Ramp Installations for 3 Steps

For a Semi-permanent or occasionally deployable ramp installation, we recommend purchasing a modular, aluminum ramp system for safe, affordable wheelchair access. Folding portable ramps are excellent tools when you’re traveling and anticipate the need to bridge a step or two. For example, perhaps you’re visiting a family member’s home with one step to the front porch. A folding ramp can be lifted into an SUV and installed in seconds to allow a loved one in a wheelchair to easily enter the home. On the other hand, if you need a ramp for a set of three or more stairs, a modular ramp is the safest, longest-lasting solution. Modular ramps have several advantages in these situations. First, they come in longer lengths (12 feet or more) making them much safer for a three step rise. Second, their interlocking construction and adjustable support legs provide more stability than a folding ramp. Finally, you can add handrails to most modular ramps, adding a necessary layer of safety and security for someone in a walker or when the weather creates slip-and-fall conditions for everyone using the ramp . . . including the mailman! While technically portable, modular ramps do take time to assemble and disassemble. Some modular wheelchair ramps, like ours, can be assembled by two people without hand tools in under thirty minutes. Other modular ramps require wrenches or ratchets to tighten bolts and to cinch up sections. Needless to say, we favor our own Handi-Ramp Modular Portable Wheelchair Ramps. Available in lengths from 12 to 18 feet, the ramps come in interlocking sections each weighing under 35 pounds. Included are support legs that provide excellent stability and confidence that’s simply missing from portable folding ramps. While the initial investment might be a bit more, the Handi-Ramp modular wheelchair ramps come with a 20 year warranty. Our ramps also feature heavy duty aluminum Handi-Treads flooring with our patented, 360-degree traction buttons. Unlike most portable ramps that rely on grit tape for traction, Handi-Ramp modular ramps provide excellent traction in rain, ice or snow and can be cleared with a snow shovel when necessary.
