Wheelchair Ramps
Live the life you want and stop feeling trapped in your home. A wheelchair ramp from National Seating & Mobility can give you freedom to safely go in and out of your home whenever you want. Ramps range from full-size modular ramps to smaller portable and threshold ramps.

Portable Ramps
Portable Ramps for Travel and Home
Portable ramps offer a flexible, temporary accessibility solution for homes, vehicles, and everyday outings. Whether you need a ramp for short-term recovery, everyday mobility support, or occasional travel, NSM can help you find a portable ramp that balances safety, convenience, and ease of transport. Our team can help you choose the right length and style based on your doorway height, vehicle access needs, and the person using the ramp, giving you the freedom to safely go wherever you desire.
Considerations When Choosing a Portable Ramp
The best portable ramp for you depends on where you plan to use it and how often you need to move it. They are most often used for entering and exiting cars, SUVs, and trucks but can also provide safe access when visiting family and friends who may not normally have accessibility devices in their homes. Shorter ramps are easier to carry and store, while longer ramps may provide a more gradual incline for added comfort and safety.
If you’re unsure which mobile ramp option is right for your situation, NSM can help you compare models and find a fit that works for your mobility needs.
Threshold Ramps
Threshold ramps are small, inclined surfaces that bridge the gap between different floor levels, typically at doorways. Whether you’re navigating a front entry, a sliding glass door, or a raised interior landing, a door threshold ramp eliminates one of the most common barriers to independent movement at home.
At National Seating & Mobility, we understand that even a half-inch rise can disrupt your independence. That’s why we offer high-quality, durable threshold ramps for doorways engineered to fit securely against your existing entryways, both indoors and outdoors. From lightweight, adjustable aluminum to slip-resistant recycled rubber, we have the right solutions to keep you moving safely.
FAQs about Wheelchair Ramps
1. Does Medicare cover the cost of a wheelchair ramp?
Generally, Medicare does not cover the cost of wheelchair ramps because they categorize them as home modifications rather than durable medical equipment (DME). However, if you have a long-term care insurance policy, it may have a “home modification” clause that covers access products. Additionally, NSM offers flexible financing options and price-matching to help make your ramp as affordable as possible. Contact your local NSM branch to discuss funding solutions available in your area.
2. Can I rent a wheelchair ramp for short-term use?
Yes,NSM offers convenient ramp rental options for both short-term and long-term needs at select locations. This is a highly popular choice for individuals recovering from surgery, hosting a relative with limited mobility, or transitioning through temporary living situations. We handle the delivery, professional installation, and eventual removal of the rental ramp so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
3. How long does residential wheelchair ramp installation take?
Once we have finalized your design, the actual on-site installation of a modular aluminum ramp is fast—often completed in just a few hours. Because our local home access teams have an average of 17 years of experience and we never use subcontractors, the process is smooth, clean, and highly efficient. We make sure your yard and entryway are left spotless when we leave.
4. What is the recommended length and slope for a home access ramp?
For safety and ease of use, we recommend following the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standard slope of 1:12. This means that for every 1 inch of vertical rise (the height of your steps or threshold), you need 1 foot (12 inches) of ramp length. A good way to estimate is to count the number of steps you have. Each step is generally 7 inches tall. For example, if you have 3 steps this equals roughly 21 inches of rise. Following ADA guidelines, you would need 21 feet of ramp. This does not include any platforms. Typically, a 5-by-5 foot level platform is required at the door. Also, any turns in the ramp layout require a 5-by-5 foot level turn as well. During our free in-home evaluation, our certified professionals will measure your space and design the safest, most efficient layout for your specific home.
5. How much does a custom wheelchair ramp cost?
Because every home layout and user mobility requirement is unique, ramp pricing varies based on the material, length, configuration, and type of ramp (such as modular, portable, or threshold). To give you the most accurate price, we offer preliminary pricing over the phone followed by a formal, exact estimate after a quick home evaluation. We promise to deliver your custom quote within 48 hours of our visit.
