  Wheelchair Ramp Selection Tips

When choosing a wheelchair ramp, there are 4 factors to consider: rise, ramp length, weight capacity, and ramp width.

  • Rise: Rise is the vertical measurement from the starting point to desired height.

  • Ramp Length: Dictated by the rise, make sure that is ample clearance for barrier free access.

  • Weight: Add the total weight of the wheelchair/scooter to the user, then make sure that number is under the wheelchair ramps weight capacity. Generally, our ramps can accommodate 600 to 700 lbs of total weight.

  • Ramp Width: Make sure to consider wheelchair ramp's width. The landing point and starting point must have enough clearance on either side to lay flat.

    Wheelchair ramps are just the beginning... find a full selection of wheelchair accessories including: wheelchair cushions, wheelchair ramps and lifts at 1-800-Wheelchair.com.
