When someone has a disability or simply gets older and needs extra care, sometimes the last thing they want to do is to leave their home. Having ramps for wheelchair access installed can make a difference and adds that extra level of freedom.

Sometimes, it can be a temporary disability, such as an injury, and a homeowner may need to rent a temporary wheelchair ramp and have it installed. 

Williams Lift Co. can provide all types of handicap, wheelchair & accessibility ramps as well as professional installation on both temporary and permanent ramps. Read on to learn more about different types of disabled access ramps for sale and which one might be a good fit for your home.

Handicap Ramps in NJ: How to Choose

There are a few things to consider when thinking about house ramps for wheelchairs, and we can help you make the right choice for your home. One of the most important things is gradient, even if you’re using a motorized wheelchair, but especially for a manual wheelchair. A gradient of 1:18 is best so the user doesn’t have to work too hard to use the metal handicap ramp. Another thing to consider is the surface—slip resistance is very important. 

When you’re deciding on wheelchair ramps for sale near you, think about whether you want a long, permanent ramp that leads directly to the door or temporary aluminum wheelchair ramps that can be placed right in front of your door, but are also portable and can be packed up and taken with you.

These types of accessibility ramps are great for traveling and vacations. A temporary handicap ramp is also a good idea if there are several entryways to the home and you may want to move the ramp from place to place.
