Waynesville NC Portable Wheelchair Ramps

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Waynesville NC Portable Wheelchair RampsWhen it comes to transporting wheelchairs and scooters, it’s important to choose ramps that have been specifically built for this purpose. Wheelchair ramps should be safety tested and be rated for a specific weight capacity.

Waynesville NC Portable Wheelchair Ramps are lightweight for easy handling. But also strong enough to hold a wheelchair or scooter, as well as the weight of the person in it, and possibly the weight of the person pushing the chair. Aluminum is strong and durable yet lightweight. Because wheelchair ramps need to be transported from place to place they fold conveniently.

Be sure the Waynesville NC Portable Wheelchair Ramps you choose are wide enough to work with whatever wheel configuration the wheelchair or scooter has. The longer the ramp, the heavier it will be, so ramps are often designed to come apart into two separate sections, making them easier to use, carry, and store.

Choose from single fold Waynesville NC Portable Wheelchair Ramps that come in a variety of widths and has great features such as incredible traction and resistance to multi-fold ramps that are good for access to higher elevations. We also have extended reach ramps that provide that extra material to help bridge the gap over large bumps and spaces as well as solid and threshold ramps to give you simple solutions to everyday occurrences. AeroFlow Inc., is sure to have the type of ramp to meet your needs.

Built of lightweight but strong aluminum, this type of Johnson City TN Portable Wheelchair Ramps have up to a 600 pound capacity.

Many buildings and other “public accommodations” still do not have ADA compliant handicapped-accessible ramps hence the need for portable wheelchair ramps. Even though it’s been law since 1992 that public buildings like stores and restaurants have building wheelchair ramps, many owners have yet to comply due to high costs. Buildings constructed since 1992 are usually not a problem, but older buildings often lack the space and proper architecture to successfully retrofit them without extensive work.

Johnson City TN Portable Wheelchair Ramps have made it much easier for those people with disabilities to gain access to buildings that have not yet been equipped with permanent building wheelchair ramps. No longer do the physically challenged have to wait in the car or be excluded from functions because there is no handicap accessibility to a building.

Gastonia NC Folding Wheelchair Ramps

Gastonia NC Folding Wheelchair RampsGastonia NC Folding Wheelchair Ramps are known to provide more ease and safety to people with disabilities. They are the most useful piece of equipment that assures easy accessibility to a greater number of places including vehicles.

Conveniently Gastonia NC Folding Wheelchair Ramps can be folded and carried. There are some ramps that have one fold only which means they can be folded only in the middle and become half the width for storage. But interestingly, today we have a number of folding wheelchair ramps which can be folded into various parts. This feature makes them very portable. There are various things that should be taken into account when choosing the right wheelchair ramp.

First consider where the ramps will be used. If the purpose is obtaining access to entering and exiting your home, having a permanent ramp built, would be a good choice. But if you need one to enter and exit other people’s homes, such as family, then a folding portable ramp would be ideal.

Decide on the height of the ramp and how steep the incline should be. If you prefer to carry the chair in minivan, you do not need to get a ramp that offers a bigger height, on the contrary if you use a larger pick up van, you need to figure out the required height at the first instance. Our mobility specialists at AeroFlow, Inc., would be happy to assist you with determining the correct size of Gastonia NC Folding Wheelchair Ramps you would require. Give us a call today and we’ll meet with you.

Wheelchair Ramps

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

Wheelchair RampsWheelchair Ramps have become a staple in American businesses, since 1990 when the American with Disabilities Act set forth guidelines that make it law that places that operate for the public must allow equal access to all people. The act allows for a zero tolerance attitude when it comes to discrimination against the disabled and their access into public buildings.

When thinking about installing Wheelchair Ramps in your home or business consider hiring a contractor. Professional handicap ramp installers are trained in the guidelines set forth by the ADA. They have a trained eye when it comes to obstacles that hinder the use of public spaces for people with disabilities or special needs. Professionals also know the regulations when it comes to building Wheelchair Ramps, the best materials to use and measures to make the ramp accessible and safe for use with wheelchairs, walkers and other devices.

The ADA does list specifications on their website for do it yourself’ers. If you have decided to tackle building a ramp you will need to review specifications and research materials. Wood ramps are beautiful and blend well into existing landscapes. The one drawback is that wood requires yearly maintenance. This might be offset by the difference in price that exists between metal ramps and wooden ramps.

The minimum width for a wheelchair ramp is 36 inches. Widths can be larger to accommodate two-way traffic. Most often you will see ramps built wider for this purpose.

Wheelchair accessible ramps must contain railings/edges to prevent users safe from falling over the side. It is recommended to build the ramp with railings.

All ramps must have a landing where the door meets the ramps. This landing has to be a minimum of 60 inches long. This allows for the door to easily swing in or out and leaves the wheelchair user room to maneuver around. It is necessary that nonslip and slip resistant materials be used for the floor of the ramp.

These are guidelines that are set forth by the ADA. You should also look into your local regulations to determine any other needs you might run in to when installing your wheelchair accessible ramps.

Wheelchair Ramps are very common in today’s landscape. The designs and selections available to make them a natural piece of your home or business are endless. Make sure you take it to account the end user for your ramp project and follow regulations and guidelines set forth by the ADA and local authorities.

AeroFlow Healthcare carries a full line of ready-made and portable ramps for your home, business, and vehicle.
