Ramp Systems

A key part of staying independent at home is getting in and out.

Ramp systems are one of the simplest and least costly ways to improve access. Ramps require minimal changes to existing structures and do not require any power. They can provide access for those with wheelchairs, crutches, canes, or walkers. Ramps are usually installed in much less time than other solutions, being therefore a great remedy when timing becomes an issue.

Portable Ramps

Quick, easy, and inexpensive, portable ramps can be set up when needed and taken down the rest of the time. These ramps are a fantastic choice for disabled visitors, allowing you to make your home accessible for them without permanent modification.

Installed Ramps

For situations where a ramp will be used long term, a semi permanent ramp is best. These systems are professionally designed to fit your needs, space, and budget. These ramps can later be removed with no damage to the existing structure.

Ramp Sizing & Incline Chart

Use the Incline Chart to help determine the proper ramp length.

Important: Consult your equipment's owner guide for proper degree of incline; never exceed it's recommendations.

How To Use This Chart

Determine incline your chair or scooter is designed to climb
Measure the distance from the top step or landing to the ground (rise)
Refer to the Incline Chart to find the proper ramp length
At any incline, use ramp only with a qualified helper

Ramp FAQ

What ramp length is best for me?

Aging In The Comfort Of Home® recommends 1:12 (1 foot of ramp for every 1 inch of rise). Portable ramps should be used at a degree of incline not to exceed what is recommended by the mobility device.

Why does a ramp need to be longer for a higher rise?

Aging In The Comfort Of Home® recommends 1:12 for safety considerations. When that is not possible, regulations allow for reasonable accommodation, meaning a slightly shorter ramp can be used. We want all ramps to be safe for you and a caregiver to use.

Does my mod system have to go straight out or can it turn?

You can configure it to turn with a turning platform, turn back with a turn back platform, angle with a 45 degree turn platform, or go straight. You can customize to meet your needs.

Do you have steps that I can put in instead of the ramp?

Yes, we do have steps available that you can use with the ramp and in conjunction with a platform.

What lengths do ramps come in?

Our portable ramps range from 2-10'. Modular ramps and commercial systems can be configured to any length needed.
