Portable and folding ramps

The folding and portable wheelchair ramp is very advisable for shops, where during the day the ramp can be placed allowing the ascent and descent of disabled people, and it folds to store at night, when there is no possibility that it will be needed to be used. The folding ramps are of great help to place in cars or it is even an excellent ramp for a van, when it is necessary to transport the person and he does not have the possibility of moving without being in his wheelchair. Among all the variety of folding ramps, the portable ramp with handrail is an option with an excellent value for money, which allows compact storage, has a safety lock and also a folding hinge that allows wheelchairs to pass through door thresholds or landings.

The ramps are the ideal element that allows the accessibility of disabled people to any place: their home, shops, restaurants, hotels, recreation and leisure spaces, etc. For this reason, it is necessary to be aware of how important ramps are. In terms of ramps, there are many variants from fixed and folding ramps to modern telescopic ramps, which also have an excellent relationship between their quality and the price.
