Which length ramp do I need?

Firstly you need to measure the vertical height inside the doorway and outside the doorway. You can simply do this with a tape measure. The height will help you to identify the ramp length you need.

Once you know the external height (the highest height), put this into our Wheelchair Ramp Length Calculator to identify your required ramp length. You will also need to select whether you are user a manual wheelchair, electric wheelchair or scooter. If you would like a smoother gradient, simply select a longer ramp.

Which Entry Plate do I need?

We have 2 entry plates. The 300mm plate is designed for a maximum height of 70mm/2.7inches whilst the 600mm plate has a maximum height of 120mm/4.7inches.

How easy is it to put the kit together?

All fixings are provided, you simply have to screw it together! We do provide instructions on putting the kit together. Firstly you will need to attach the leg kit to the wheelchair ramp. You will need to adjust the leg height to match the height of the doorway/steps which you are going up. A guide can be found here.

As the legs of the ramp are adjustable, you can use the ramp is other areas if you wish however please of course do not exceed the maximum load height for your wheelchair ramp.
