Kartrite 5ft Aluminium Foldable Wheelchair Ramp Non-Slip R02 Silver

Where a short ramp turns a kerb into a climb, extra length is the fix: the same rise spread over more distance is simply less steep. This 5 ft model opens to 152.5 cm and still folds to something one person carries from the car to the door.

The extra 30 centimetres is the whole point

Opened out, the ramp runs 152.5 cm, roughly 30 cm more than the 4 ft model in the same range. Over the same doorstep that additional run flattens the slope, which shows up as less effort behind a manual chair and less chance of the front castors lifting on the way up. Width is 72 cm, enough for a chair or a four-wheel scooter with margin either side.

Packs to 76 cm and locks shut

Folded, it measures 76 x 36 x 16 cm. Long enough that it wants a boot or a back seat, slim enough to stand against a wall between uses. A locking pin secures the halves and the handle carries it closed. Underfoot the surface is non-slip, and raised rails run down both edges so a wheel drifting off line meets an edge instead of open air.
