Portable Wheelchair Ramps-Perfect Choice for Your Stairs, Thresholds and Transport Vehicles

A portable wheelchair ramp helps wheelchair or scooter users to comfortably get in and out of vans, SUVs or trucks, overcome the difficulty of climbing and descending steps, and allows a more easy transition over a threshold. It is an inclined plane that can be placed at the steps leading to the front or back entry doors of your building, or from your garage into your home, or at the side door or rear door of a vehicle, or on the threshold of a room. In the United States, about 98% of public transit buses are equipped with wheelchair accessible ramps.
