⚡ At a Glance
- • Load Capacity: Supports up to 272kg, suitable for most mobility equipment
- • Best for: Home thresholds, short steps and travel with wheelchairs or mobility scooters
- • Not ideal for: Permanent installations or steep multi-step access that need longer ramps
Two-section telescopic ramps extend to 122 x 18.9 cm and retract to 76 x 18.9 cm for compact storage. A textured black anti-slip surface and corrosion-resistant aluminium construction enhance grip and durability.
Secure traction on wet surfaces – with textured anti-slip aluminium surface
High-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminium is finished with a textured black anti-slip layer that increases surface friction. The combination resists weather exposure while maintaining a grippy tread pattern.
Improved grip reduces the risk of slips when rolling on or off thresholds, helping users feel more confident in wet conditions.
Quick setup and compact storage – thanks to two-section telescopic design and one-button locking
Each ramp extends to 122 x 18.9 cm and retracts to 76 x 18.9 cm, with a user-friendly one-button locking mechanism for rapid deployment. No tools are required and each ramp weighs 5.1 kg.
Rapid, tool-free deployment saves time for carers and makes the ramps easy to pack into the supplied carry bag for visits or travel.
Handles heavier mobility equipment – with a 272kg maximum load rating
Rated maximum load capacity is 272 kg, suitable for many powered wheelchairs and heavier manual chairs. Each ramp is suitable for access heights up to 30.5 cm.
Reliable weight capacity makes the ramps appropriate for heavier electric wheelchairs, with the caveat that longer ramps are recommended for multiple steps to keep the incline manageable.
