Ramps at the threshold

 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 are commonly found on track ramps. When extended these channels assist in moving the wheelchair over moderate elevation changes such as steps or curbs.

A track ramp is easy to store since it collapses when the telescopic channels are retracted. They are lightweight so it's an easy matter to bring them along so that you have them when the need arises.

Other types of folding wheelchair ramps include single fold and multi-fold ramps. In addition to the ramps already mentioned, these are designed to load and unload wheelchairs and scooters into and out of vehicles.

Single fold ramps are the most common type of ramp. To use it, you only need to unfold it. There is no assembly required first. Then lean it up against the opening into the vehicle you are using and roll the mobility scooter or wheelchair up or down.

Single-fold ramps with built-in handles are easy to carry and store. They are available in a variety of sizes and materials. There are ramps for almost every application.

Multi-fold ramps are known for being quite versatile. Due to their design, they can be used for longer elevation changes. They are strong and durable and are designed to handle any class of wheelchairs or mobility scooters.

Although heavier, multi-fold ramps are also easy to transport especially those with a handle built-in. Transport and storage of some pieces can be accomplished with separate pieces, distributing the added weight over fewer parts.

The bottom plates of many exterior doors are made from steel. Despite being able to seal the door, these plates can be difficult barriers for wheelchairs and scooters. If a scooter runs over the tracks on sliding glass doors, it can cause significant damage. These are just a few examples of the need for threshold ramps. They can help you overcome obstacles and make getting around easier.

Ramps come 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 slipping. Not only do threshold ramps allow entry for scooters and wheelchairs, but they also help prevent tripping injuries. The ramps make access easier and safer for all.
