A Guide to the Different Types of Mobility Access Ramps

Mobility access ramps are essential tools that make spaces more accessible and convenient for individuals with mobility challenges. Dolphin Mobility Ltd offers a variety of high-quality access ramps to meet diverse needs. Here, we’ll explore the different types of ramps available and how each can make a significant difference in enhancing accessibility.


Threshold Ramps


Threshold ramps are designed for minor height differences, such as doorways or slight steps, making it easier to navigate small rises. These ramps are typically compact and lightweight, crafted from durable materials like rubber or aluminium. They provide a secure base and are particularly beneficial for wheelchair users and individuals using mobility aids to navigate indoor and outdoor transitions smoothly.

 

These ramps are ideal for:

 

●      Door thresholds

●      Low-rise steps

●      Small indoor obstacles


Portable Ramps


Portable ramps are an excellent solution for those needing a flexible, on-the-go access option. They are lightweight, foldable, and easy to transport, making them ideal for travel. Dolphin Mobility’s range of portable ramps is built with ease of handling in mind, providing users with reliable support wherever they go. Whether accessing a friend’s home or a public space, portable ramps offer immediate accessibility with minimal installation requirements.

 

These ramps are ideal for:

 

●      Temporary access solutions

●      Travelling and outdoor events

●      Vehicle access


Modular Ramps


For a more permanent and durable solution, modular ramps are ideal for overcoming significant height differences, such as building entrances or access points with several steps. These ramps are built-in sections, allowing for customisable configurations to fit various spaces. They are sturdy and made from high-quality materials to withstand continuous use in outdoor settings. Modular ramps also come with handrails and non-slip surfaces, ensuring a safe, secure experience for users.

 

These ramps are ideal for:

 

●      Home entrances

●      Commercial buildings

●      Public spaces with multiple steps


Suitcase Ramps


Suitcase ramps are portable ramps that fold into a suitcase shape, making them convenient for transport. These ramps are slightly larger than standard portable ramps, providing greater stability for users. They are particularly useful for vehicles or accessing temporary steps, ensuring mobility users can enjoy a versatile ramp that combines portability with ease of use.

 

These ramps are ideal for:

 

●      Transporting in vehicles

●      Use at temporary locations

●      Accessing vans or raised steps


Folding Ramps


Folding ramps are a practical option for users needing ramps that can be stored compactly. They fold into sections, allowing for easy storage and transport. Folding ramps are often used in homes or buildings where permanent ramps are not feasible. Made from robust materials, they offer a sturdy option that’s easy to deploy when needed and quickly stored away when not in use.

 

These ramps are ideal for:

 

●      Spaces with limited storage

●      Temporary access to homes or offices

●      Occasional outdoor use
