Suitcase Wheelchair Ramp
Provides Portability and Convenience

Made of aluminum with non-skid surfaces, suitcase ramp models are designed with hinges that are folded once, twice or even three times, depending on the ramp length and manufacturer.

Once folded, there are carrying handles so the ramp can easily be transported like a suitcase (hence the name).

To use the ramp, it just needs to be unfolded and positioned properly in place to allow the wheelchair user safe, easy access to wherever he or she wants to go.

Longer suitcase ramps that are between five and six feet can even be used to access vans and other vehicles.

Ramp weight capacity typically ranges between 500 and 800 pounds. The width is usually around 29 inches and the ramp, itself, can weigh from 10 to nearly 40 pounds to transport, depending on the size and model you choose.

In addition, some ramps include other features such as adjustable transition plates and extension lips to make it easier to be wheeled on and off the ramp.
