Who Should Consider a Wheelchair Ramp Rental?
Wheelchair ramp rentals are a great option for those who need a ramp temporarily. You may benefit from a rental ramp if any of the following apply:
- You’re recovering from surgery or illness
- You don’t expect to experience limited mobility for more than a few months
- You have out-of-town guests who use mobility aids
- You need low monthly payments
If you decide to rent one of our ramps and discover later you would like to buy it instead, we will apply 6 months of your rental payments toward the purchase.
Benefits of Renting vs. Buying
Both renting and buying ramps have their benefits. To decide which option is right for you, you need to consider your situation.
Renting a Wheelchair Ramp
Renting a wheelchair ramp is a great short-term solution if you have houseguests with limited mobility. They are also ideal in hospice, rehab, or end-of-life situations. If you are in a transitional period, planning to move, or are recovering from an injury, renting a ramp may be a more cost-effective option than buying a ramp. Renting a portable ramp can make it easier for you to access commercial buildings. It’s also a good option if you need to attend a special event, like a graduation or wedding.
Buying a Wheelchair Ramp
If you need a ramp for the long term, you’d benefit more from buying a ramp. Buying one of our ramps allows you to easily accommodate the daily needs of those with mobility conditions. Wheelchair ramps also help you maintain your independence as you continue to live in the home you love.
Which Type of Ramp Do I Need?
Wheelchair ramps help make a home safer for seniors and those with limited mobility. At Williams Lift Company, we offer three types of ramps for homes across New Jersey, including:
Modular Ramps
Modular ramps have several sections you can configure in different ways to fit your needs. The flexibility of these ramps allows you to update your space, and you can even expand them in the future. We sell aluminum modular ramps because of their sturdiness and dependability. They are also lightweight and create a sleek look that blends into your home’s aesthetic. Our aluminum modular ramps withstand harsh outdoor conditions and require almost no maintenance.
Portable Ramps
Portable ramps are temporary ramps you can fold up and take with you. These ramps are convenient and can be set up quickly, while still providing stability and protection from injury. Our portable ramps are made from aluminum and have anti-slip surfaces for extra safety. We offer ramps in assorted sizes so you can find the best option for your space. Our technicians can help you find the right size by considering the size of your wheelchair or walker and how many steps there are.
Threshold Ramps
Threshold ramps are great options for small spaces. If you have a doorway with a small lip or a slightly raised landing, you may benefit from this type of ramp. They are freestanding pieces that make the installation process quick and easy.
All our ramps meet ADA-compliance standards to help you stay safe. We also offer other mobility aids, including stair lifts and power lift recliners.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wheelchair Ramp Rentals
How long can I rent a wheelchair ramp?
You can rent a ramp for up to six months. Ramp rentals are temporary solutions, ideal for post-op recovery or short-term guests. After six months, it becomes more cost-effective to buy a ramp. If you decide to go this route, we can count your rent payments toward the cost of the ramp. However, if you choose, can you can rent the ramp indefinitely.
When should I rent a ramp?
You should rent a ramp if you have out-of-town guests who use mobility aids or have limited mobility following an illness or surgery. Renting a ramp is also a great idea if you plan to move soon or are dealing with an end-of-life situation. You can also rent a portable ramp if you’re attending a major event, such as a wedding, graduation, or party.
What should I consider when choosing a wheelchair ramp?
When choosing a ramp, you should consider your home’s space and your needs. If you have a single-level home with a small landing, you may benefit from a threshold ramp. However, if you have a home with multiple steps at the entrance, you’ll benefit from a modular ramp. Additionally, if you need help getting in and out of the car, a portable ramp might be beneficial.
Will you install the ramp for me?
Yes, our technicians at Williams Lift Company will install your ramp for you. We’ll also handle the dismantling for you. With over 50 years of combined experience, our team knows how to install ramps in just a few hours.
Will insurance companies pay for a wheelchair ramp rental?
It depends on your insurance company. Traditional insurance companies may or may not pay for your ramp, depending on your benefits. Medicare often will not because they consider ramps to be home modifications and not durable medical equipment. However, Medicaid will cover ramps if they are deemed medically necessary. It is important to note that even if your insurance company does not cover the cost of the ramp, other resources may help offset the cost.
