ORFORD Portable Wheelchair Ramp 3FT, 35.7''L×28.7''W Handicap Ramps, Non-Skid Aluminum Wheel Chair Ramp, Threshold Ramps for Doorways, Wheelchair Ramps for Home Steps, Stairs, Entry, Doorways

Very easy to fold and lightweight. Nice and rigid when in place even with me pushing my father in his wheelchair

I ordered one for our mother so she could still enjoy our summer retreat. It made entering with a walker or wheelchair much easier for her and with the gripping surface it gave better traction and anti slipping surface and the raised edges act as a guide to keep you from running off, It folds up nice and easy and has pins so can lock it in to a pre drilled surface to hold it firm. As an extra bonus, it can used to roll lite weight in and out of your home. As for any downside, if it was just a bit wider for a standard wheelchair width it would be nice. The guide rails on the side could be just a bit higher to limit the possibility of jumping over the side if the chair shifts. I may order a longer one for another area of the house because this has worked well.

I have had this for probably 6 to 7 months now and I wanted to make a review after using it for a long while, and I can say that this ramp is phenomenal and easy to use. All you have to do is open it a five-year-old could do it. It’s a perfect length that goes from my porch step down to the grass. It lets me hold all the weight of my electric wheelchair down the ramp with ease and then you could just fold it right back up and put it away with easy storage. There’s not even a centimeter of an inch of slip resistance issues. I don’t feel any sleeping whatsoever. I could literally roll slow slowly down the ramp with my electric wheelchair and still not slipped down it. This is definitely a great buy.

We made the mistake of buying shorter very solid ramps but they didn’t work out. We needed something longer/safer. This was perfect! It does fold in half and is aluminum so it’s super light and easy to move. The downside is only one of five is in a wheelchair so the rest of us had to walk up/down it to get into the house. He said it felt very sturdy/stable to roll up/down. However when we walked on it we didn’t feel it was very sturdy/stable. I realize it’s for him/his chair and access into the house so it was good/safe for that. The rest of us just dealt with it.

I needed a ramp to get a wheelchair up a step to the patio and a few shorter steps into the house. I just move this ramp in between each stage. This has worked great and saved my back. It sets up and folds back to store very easily. The only area I struggle with now is the 2” doorframe lip on the threshold for the French door, but since the rest of the path is now easy I have a little strength left to muscle that.

Great Quality! Now my handicap mom can get in and out of the house with ease! Easy to install!

This ORFORD NON-SKID WHEELCHAIR RAMP (5FT, Non-Slip Surface, Portable) is a sturdy, lightweight ramp, but it is barely wide enough to accommodate my husband's Medline manual wheelchair. Unfolded, the ramp measures just 28-1/2" wide, which leaves about 1" on each side of the wheels when the chair is on the ramp. My husband's Quickie powered wheelchair is narrower, so the ramp width is almost adequate. However, the powered wheelchair weighs at least 330 lbs. (without a person in it), so the 600-lb. capacity of the 5-foot ramp is barely enough. I don't feel that this ramp is safe for everyday use by a disabled person unless a caregiver is present to supervise wheelchair placement. It is simply too narrow for comfort. I think that a width of 29-1/2" unfolded is the absolute minimum for unsupervised use of a wheelchair ramp.

I am in video production and fairly regularly need to load equipment from my house out to my car. Unfortunately, my car can't be parked directly outside my door so I usually use a rolling cart to get everything to my car. My front door has 2 steps down to the sidewalk so this meant I had to carry the cart outside, and then carry each item out to pack it onto the cart, and then wheel the cart to my car. Not fun to do at 5 or 6 in the morning! With this ramp, I can load the cart in my house the night before, and just roll it right out the door to the car. Easy! The ramp feels super sturdy and I can stand on it with no issues. It's lightweight enough to pick up and store in the house. It folds up and stays securely folded thanks to the security pins. In terms of the time and effort it's saved me, it's already paid for itself. IMPORTANT NOTE: I am using the 5 foot ramp to go up and down 2 steps., as you can see in my photo. For this many steps, I would highly recommend using a longer ramp if you're a wheelchair user or pushing someone in a wheelchair. I can easily roll my cart down the ramp, but it's pretty difficult to roll it up due to the steep angle. I could imagine it would be nearly impossible to do in a wheelchair. This is expected because this listing says the maximum height for a wheelchair is 5 inches, and a cart is 14". The height of my steps is about 18", which explains why it's a little difficult to push the cart up. (I would buy a longer ramp, but then my cart would not have room to turn at the bottom of the ramp before rolling off the sidewalk and into the street.)
