Our Wheelchair Ramp Slopes in Stock

We provide portable mobility ramps for those needing to take their access ramp on the go, as well as bridge ramps for easy access between rooms. Each of our ramps is backed by a one-year warranty to ensure your ramp stays in proper condition. 

Our products include the following wheelchair ramps:

Folding wheelchair ramp – This foldable ramp is lightweight, with the smallest model weighing 4.2kg. This makes it easy to give wheelchair access over doorways, kerbs or steps and fold it away during transport. It’s suitable for power chairs and scooters and is simple to fit into any doorway. Widths range from 715mm – 720mm.

Aluminium Bridge Ramp – Our aluminium bridge threshold ramps are perfect for manual wheelchairs (not suitable for power chairs or scooters). They provide a generous width of 100mm with height options from 40-100mm. 

Rubber threshold ramp – Rubber threshold ramps are made from 100% recycled rubber and can be used inside or outside. They are safe for any chair, and their sturdy design is non-slip so that even in rainy or inclement weather, you can safely and effortlessly get in and out of your door. Available in heights from 24mm to 100 mm.

Telescopic wheelchair ramp – These ramps are easily adjusted and come in a range of 4ft to 7ft long. Equipped with a black grip surface, their light structure allows for easy application and adjustment to any doorway. Because of their low ground clearance, they are not recommended for electric wheelchairs or scooters.

Wheelchair Ramp Gradient FAQ's

Why does the ramp gradient matter

The ramp gradient affects how steep the ramp is. If it’s too steep, it can be dangerous or difficult to use — especially for manual wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. A gentler slope makes the ramp safer and easier to manage independently or with assistance.

What is the recommended ramp gradient?

For independent use with a manual wheelchair, a gradient of 1:12 is recommended — that means 1 inch of rise for every 12 inches of ramp.
Steeper ramps like with a gradient of 1:7 is be suitable for assisted use or shorter access situations

What happens if the ramp is too steep?

Steep ramps can cause wheelchairs to tip, carers to lose control, or users to be unable to ascend or descend safely.

How do I know what length ramp I need?

Use our calculator below! Enter the height of the step(s) and the recommended gradient (e.g. 7 for 1:7) to see how long the ramp should be. It also shows the length in inches and feet for convenience.
