With so many ramps to choose from it could be
overwhelming trying to pick the best one for your needs! Will you need a five foot or a
seven foot ramp? Will the ramp you choose be compatable with your chair or scooter? How
much weight does the ramp support? Will it work with your van?
We would like to make answering these questions and any
others you may have as easy as possible. After following a few links you should be able to
choose a ramp that will serve you for years to come. And please let us know if there is
anything else we can do to make choosing a ramp any easier.
To establish the proper ramp
length:
 | Determine the incline your chair is designed to climb.
NOTE: Refer to your equipment's owners manual for exact
recomendations concerning acceptable usage and inclines.
|
| Measure the distance from the top step or landing to the
ground. This is the RISE.
On the chart below, find the proper rise on the left. Then move to the right until you
come to the proper degree of incline. The length of the ramp you need will be at the top
of the column. You may click anywhere in that column to go to ramps of that
length, or you may click the number below the chart that corresponds to that length. |
Now that you know the length of ramp you need, the next
step is to look at the different types of ramps available in that length. You may click
the number below that corresponds to the length you wish to look at. You may also use any
ramp longer than your required length.
