What Are Portable Suitcase Ramps?

Suitcase ramps are designed to go with you, allowing you to have the benefits of a wheelchair ramp wherever you go.

Our SUITCASE® Signature Series™ portable handicap ramps feature innovative designs that make them great for family members or workers who often need to transport seniors or those with mobility issues. These models sport live hinges that go the length of the ramp, preventing unnecessary protrusions and reducing the risk of pinching. They also feature dependable handles, making them easier to carry. An enhanced tread design allows wheelchair users to confidently maneuver up or down, even when conditions are wet. These ramps are available in lengths ranging from two to eight feet.

These models are available in two-foot to eight-foot lengths, each measuring 30 inches wide. This allows you to find the option that works best for your situation. Because they are designed for travel use, our models fold down to the following sizes:

Portable Wheelchair Ramps FAQ

What is the correct slope for a wheelchair ramp?

The slope of a ramp is the amount of vertical rise in proportion to the horizontal length. The standard slope of a ramp is 1:12, meaning for each inch of vertical rise, the ramp must be 12 inches long. This allows users to move up or down the ramp confidently, knowing that it doesn’t rise too quickly, which could result in an accident or injury.

Who might benefit from a portable wheelchair ramp?

Caretakers of the elderly or those with mobility concerns will appreciate portable options because they allow themselves or the people they care for to experience more of the world. While many businesses and public areas have ramps to allow easier entry, having a ramp on hand means you won’t have to worry about how to get wheelchair- or scooter-bound individuals where they want to go.

Are portable wheelchair ramps complicated?

Portable wheelchair ramps provide most of the same benefits as permanent ones but are designed for temporary use. Because of this, portable ramps from Williams Lift Company are specifically designed to allow quick and easy setup and takedown. While they are not permanent structures, they still offer strong, sturdy construction, which helps ensure safe use.

What if I only need a portable ramp for a short time?

Not everyone who needs a portable wheelchair ramp needs it for years. Whether you’re trying to help someone recovering from surgery, dealing with a short-term injury, or inviting guests with mobility problems to visit, having a temporary option can make a world of difference. Williams Lift Company offers portable wheelchair ramp rentals (along with other ramp types), allowing you to ensure everyone is safe without needing to purchase something you’ll only use a few times.
