Ascending the threshold ramp

Threshold ramps are designed to help you get over a small dip or rise. With them, you can cross thresholds in doorways and small steps that would otherwise have abrupt height changes or drops with a power scooter or wheelchair. These ramps can be fixed in place or portable. If you have an electric mobility scooter, it is a good idea to have a threshold ramp. Even a 1-inch dip or rise can pose a significant barrier and could result in injury if traversed.

Many exterior door thresholds have bottom plates. Door seals can be made with these plates, but they can be difficult for scooters and wheelchairs to maneuver through. 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. They can be custom fit for your home or business. They are also designed to be non-skid and provide good traction. This prevents slips or slides. As well as providing accessibility for wheelchairs and scooters, threshold ramps prevent injuries due to tripping. These ramps provide greater and safer access for all.

Rubber, plastic, and aluminum are the most common materials used in threshold ramps. Rubber ramps are commonly sold to clear heights up to three inches. They are durable and can be used indoors or outdoors. Ramps made of rubber can be cut and trimmed to fit any height or size requirement. They work great for door thresholds and small steps with the capability to support weights of up to 850 pounds.

Aluminum thresholds Ramps can be used to span small steps, at heights up to about 6 inches. They are also ideal for doorways, sliding glass doors, or raised landings. Aluminum thresholds are sturdy, lightweight, and rust-proof.
