The Threshold Ramp

Image
A bridge threshold ramp is designed to help you cross a small dip or rise. Power scooters or wheelchairs benefit from them, as they allow you to cross door thresholds and small steps that would otherwise be abruptly raised or lowered. Portable or fixed ramps are available. A threshold ramp is a good idea if you own an electric mobility scooter. Even a one-inch dip or rise can pose a significant barrier and cause injury if traversed. Many exterior door thresholds have bottom plates. In addition to allowing the door to seal, these plates can also act as a barrier for wheelchairs and scooters. The tracks on sliding glass doors can be significantly damaged if a scooter runs over them. These are just a few examples of the need for threshold ramps. They can help you overcome barriers and make getting around easy. These ramps are sold in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. You can have them customized to fit your home or business.

 There are several types of wheelchair ramps available. Folding wheelchair ramps in particular provide a greater degree of accessibility for those using wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Let's take a look at a few and what they are primarily used for. A threshold Ramp is the first type. As the name indicates these ramps have been designed so any type of threshold or raised landing can be easily accessed. This type of ramp can be manufactured from aluminum. Because of their lightweight, they are very easy to use and transport. The ramp should be placed against the doorway or any raised area so that transition from one area to another is as smooth as possible. These ramps are meant to be used for wheelchairs and scooters. Fold them up and take them along so you can set them up in a doorway as needed. The use of a threshold ramp eliminates the need to lift awkward, heavy mobility chairs over thresholds. Track ramps are used with either power or manual wheelchairs. Telescopic channels ...
