Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the 6' Suitcase Ramp | for up to 8" rise work?

The 6' Suitcase Ramp works by creating a gradual incline that allows wheelchairs, scooters, and walkers to safely navigate steps or raised thresholds up to 8 inches high. The ramp folds in half like a suitcase for easy transport and storage, and unfolds to create a stable 6-foot pathway. Simply position the ramp against the step or threshold, ensure it's secure, and roll up or down the gentle slope instead of navigating the vertical step.

Q: What height steps can a 6 foot wheelchair ramp accommodate?

A 6-foot suitcase ramp is designed to safely accommodate steps or thresholds up to 8 inches high. This follows the recommended 1:12 slope ratio for wheelchair accessibility, ensuring a safe and manageable incline for wheelchair users, mobility scooter riders, and individuals using walkers or other mobility aids. This makes it ideal for standard doorway thresholds, single steps, and low porch entries.

Q: Is a suitcase ramp portable and easy to transport?

Yes, suitcase ramps are specifically designed for portability. This 6-foot ramp folds in half lengthwise, creating a compact, easy-to-carry unit with a built-in handle—just like a suitcase. This makes it perfect for travel, visiting family and friends, accessing businesses without ramps, and storing in your vehicle, garage, or closet when not in use. The lightweight yet durable construction ensures easy handling without sacrificing strength.

Q: Where can I use a 6 foot wheelchair suitcase ramp?

You can use this versatile suitcase ramp in multiple locations including home entryways and doorways, garage steps, vehicle access, porches and decks, curbs and sidewalks, and when traveling to access hotels, restaurants, or other buildings. The portable design means you can bring accessibility with you wherever you go, ensuring independence and mobility in various environments.

Q: Will a suitcase ramp support wheelchairs, scooters, and walkers safely?

Yes, suitcase ramps are engineered to safely support wheelchairs (both manual and power), mobility scooters, walkers, and rollators. They feature a non-slip surface for traction in various weather conditions and are constructed from durable materials designed to handle the weight of mobility devices and users. The gradual 6-foot slope provides a safe, stable incline that reduces the effort needed to navigate the rise, making it safer than attempting to lift over steps.

Why we know this works!

We love this 6 foot suitcase ramp because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we know the slope of a ramp, not just having one, decides whether someone can actually get up it. How steep is too steep for a wheelchair ramp? A good rule of thumb is about 1 foot of ramp length for every inch of rise, and this 6 foot length keeps steps up to 8 inches high at a slope most wheelchair and scooter users can manage. The textured aluminum surface adds traction, bottom transition plates adjust to uneven ground, it supports up to 800 pounds, and it folds to half its size for transport. It is especially helpful for power wheelchair and scooter users and for caregivers pushing a manual chair up a garage or porch step. If your rise is taller than 8 inches, go to the 7 foot or 8 foot Suitcase Ramp, or see our Getting a Custom Ramp service for a full flight of steps.
