Not all wheelchair ramps are made to transport both the wheelchair and the user, so be sure to check this out before you buy.
Some cheaper portable wheelchair ramps are constructed badly and their rough finishes can cause injury during erection or damage to the wheelchair. Wheelchair ramps can be constructed from aluminum, steel, concrete or even wood.
The biggest mistake users make when purchasing a wheelchair ramp is that they underestimate the length of ramp required.
Some people attempt to build their own ramps. Unless you are a competent at d.i.y. and know exactly whats required, you should avoid doing this yourself and leave it to a an experienced specialist.
A modular wheelchair ramp is very popular as it can be easily dismantled into smaller parts for transportation or storage.
