EZ-Access Suitcase Singlefold Portable Ramp with an Applied Slip-Resistant Surface, 4 Foot

I have a large, 400-some pound, complex rehab power wheelchair. I was nervous about buying a portable ramp online. I moved into a new rancher-style townhouse a few months ago and I was relying on this ramp to get my wheelchair into the house. It's single level with a small step up. My own anxiety was quelled the day of move in! It held up just fine for my 400 lb chair with 200 lb me in it! I use this to get in and out of my place in the powerchair with no issues. The 4 foot length has been fine for my needs. I also live in an area that has a lot of snow and rain. The ramp has held up and is not rusting or anything. The non slip coating on it is really useful and works beautifully, even in the snow or rain. I have never gotten a ramp online before because of the uncertainty. However, I know now that I can trust EZ-Access and I will absolutely use this brand in the future.

I purchased the 4 foot version and found that although it meets the spec for assisting a person in a manual wheelchair for my application, it takes a lot of effort to push an overweight patient up at that angle. That is not a problem with the ramp, which is built very well, it was my mistake. I should have gone with a 6 or 7 foot ramp instead. It makes a big difference. 1" per height to 12 inch per ramp length is ADA spec for unassisted use. The closer to 1:12 rather 2:12 (manual wheelchair with assistance spec) is what you should go for if possible. I ended up returning the ramp and ordering a 7' tri-fold version.These are USA made, very good construction, and look like they would last forever. They are not, however, light weight. I would say the term "light weight" is relative. For an healthcare assistant who is in good shape, it would not be a problem. It may be a little heavy for someone who is older to manage. It can be separated into 2 halves though, which makes it more manageable. The quality of the welds and metal require a certain level of weight, otherwise you get something that is not as safe or that a patient might find alarming. This is a solid ramp.I ordered a 7 foot tri-fold to replace it, which I assume I will need to separate to make manageable weight-wise. Again, there are trade-offs between weight and stability using quality aluminum construction.

I bought this for rolling heavy objects like a big heavy fridge.It was perfect in its uses and folds and gets out of the way fast. It has a padded handle for comfort too.It not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for, especially when it comes for something like this that NEEDS to be sturdy!

This ramp is very solid. I had worried that it would be flimsy, sag, or move around, but there was none of that - the ramp definitely stayed where I put it, and was very stable when I walked on it. The non-slip surface is great. The ramp itself is easy to fold up and move, and I appreciate the handles. The ramp itself is wide enough to fit a walker.The only downside is that the metal ends (both ends) are pretty rough and will scratch whatever they are against. In my case the scratched up some brickwork installed by my grandfather long ago. I wish the ends had some sort of hard rubber covering to protect what they are put against.Ultimately my Mom decided not to use this - she cannot feel her feet and I think was not comfortable with them at an angle, and preferred to continue to struggle with the stairs for now. (I'm keeping it in my garage, though, in case she change her mind later.)Quick note - I struggled a bit trying to decide what length to buy. I eventually found a site which had the following recommendations:For ADA requirements, the ramp should be 1 foot for every 1 inch of elevation. So a 12 inch rise should have a 12 foot ramp.For personal use, it's half that - so to cover 12 inches of elevation you should get a 6 foot ramp.

Easy to use. Does well, sturdy. Use with transporter chair and wheel chair. Use in the garage so there is no ramp outside the door where people can figure out that someone with limited mobility is living there. Hold 17 lb wheelchair plus 160 lb person and pushers that range between 160 to 260lbs. Not mounted in concrete but still feel secure with its grip and placement.
