This folding drive-in ramp is designed to act as a bridge to allow users to overcome thresholds of up to 80mm. The design allows users to adjust the ramp legs to the required height and go up and over the threshold. After use, the entry plate can be flipped back onto the ramp to allow users to close the door whilst leaving the ramp in place. This ramp is suitable for mobility scooters, manual wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs.

Ramp Length & Load Height
It is crucial for you to know your load height to identify which ramp length you require. The load height is the vertical measurement from the ground to where you rest the ramp onto.
Once you have the load height you can use our simple ramp length calculator to identify which ramp length you require, alternatively please contact our team.
Manual Wheelchairs: Minimum recommended gradient: 1:6 Example: for a 1ft load height you'll need a 6ft long ramp.
Mobility Scooters: Minimum recommended gradient: 1:8 (Ramp needs to be longer due to the low ground clearance) Example: for a 1ft load height you'll need an 8ft long ramp.
Certain goods and services for disabled people are zero-rated for VAT, including mobility aids, as long as the customer is eligible and the goods are for domestic or personal use. All of our wheelchair ramps classify as mobility aids and therefore those eligible can purchase these VAT exempt.
Who is eligible?
VAT relief is available for individuals with chronic illnesses and or disabilities. The wheelchair ramp must be for exclusive use by the disabled individual. VAT relief is also available to registered UK charities.
Who is not eligible?
Businesses are not eligible for VAT relief. VAT relief is also not available where the ramp is being purchased for a group of people to use, except for charities. In addition, those with temporary incapacities, such as broken bones, are required to pay the VAT.
How do I claim my VAT back?
At the checkout stage, prior to entering payment details, there is a VAT exemption box. Simply enter the full name of the person the ramp is for and their disability, or the charity name and number, and tick to confirm it is correct. The VAT will then automatically be removed from your purchase.
If you are in any doubt as to whether you are eligible to receive goods or services zero-rated for VAT, please contact our team, consult Notice 701/7 VAT Relief for Disabled People or contact the National Advice Service on 0845 010 9000.
