Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
On what types of surfaces can the ramp be placed?
It can be used on stairs, curbs, or other level differences, as long as the surface is stable and even.
Is it suitable for power wheelchairs?
Yes, with a weight capacity of up to 270kg and a wide base, the ramp can support most powered wheelchair models.
Can it be transported easily by one person?
Yes, its lightweight aluminum construction and foldable design make it easy to carry and store.
How much space does it take up when folded?
Once folded, the ramp becomes compact and fits easily into a car trunk or storage space.
How is it cleaned?
A damp cloth or mild cleaning solution is sufficient to remove dust or dirt. Aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion.
What is the maximum slope height the ramp can handle?
The ramp supports level changes up to 35cm in height. For safety, it's recommended to stay within a slope angle of 10°–12° for manual chairs and 6°–8° for powered models.
How can I calculate whether the ramp suits my required slope?
Divide the obstacle height (in cm) by the ramp length (in cm), then multiply by 100 to get the slope percentage. A result above 15% may be too steep for safe use.
Can you give an example of slope calculation?
Yes. If the height of the step is 30cm and the ramp length is 200cm, the slope is: (30 ÷ 200) × 100 = 15%. This is acceptable for short distances, but for better safety and comfort, a lower slope (e.g. 12%) is preferred, especially for power chairs.
