4 out of 5 stars Good and sturdy   July 28, 2010
Manny (USA)
I have used this twice. Very portable and sturdy. I use it in loading my mobility scooter to the back of my SUV. I don't ride while loading, either push or use the scooter battery power, very slow speed. Works very well for me.


3 out of 5 stars This ramp will not work for very low thresholds!   July 26, 2010
David Sparks (Martinsville, VA USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I ordered this ramp to make a doorway at church handicap accessible. Unfortunately, the threshold where I need the ramp is only about 1 3/4" high. The description didn't mention the fact that the ramp is made for thresholds 3" and higher. If your threshold is lower, the braces under the ramp hit the ground and cause the ramp to rock like a see-saw. This is not acceptable. I am returning the ramp and having to pay return shipping. I am impressed by the quality and price of the ramp, but it won't work for my application. It would be helpful if Amazon (or Prairie View Industries) would include in their description the fact that the ramp will not work for thresholds less than 3" in height.


5 out of 5 stars Great for elder care ramp - we use with Sport Utility Vehicle   July 24, 2010
CMM (Southeast IL)
We purchased this little ramp to use as a walkway for an elderly parent - we have a Mercury Mountaineer and she could not longer climb into the front seat.

She can now use her walker and walk up the ramp, turn and sit easily in the vehicle.

It folds and fits into the back of the Mountaineer - we do have to put part of the back seat down to accommodate the ramp length. You must be careful when opening it so as not to scratch the car doors. But, I am a senior age woman and have no problems using this ramp and maneuvering it and loading/unloading it. Of course, I do not have health issues either. The ramp probably weighs 40 lbs or so. It has a handle on the side for easy carrying.

This ramp gives our parent freedom to come and go again. It isn't cheap - but it is well built. The nurses at extended care were all very impressed with it - had never seen anything like it. It is sturdy - will hold 600 lbs. We are satisfied with our purchase and it works very well for the purpose for which it was bought.

It works exceptionally well if you can pull up to a curb and then the incline is much less - but it still works well if used from the ground. We also monitor our parent at all times and hold on to her for safety.

WE DO NOT USE THIS RAMP WITH A WHEELCHAIR OR POWER CHAIR. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS RAMP FOR THAT PURPOSE. THE INCLINE WOULD BE MUCH TOO STEEP AND YOU WOULD RISK ROLL OVER. YOU WOULD NEED A MUCH LONGER RAMP FOR THAT PURPOSE.

I bought this for my dad. He just had hip replacement surgery and a stroke, could not really get around without his wheel chair. We love this ramp. It transfers easily between the garage door, back door, and front door. We even use this on a single step we have in the house from carpet to tile...wonderful!


5 out of 5 stars Handicap 3 ft ramp   June 7, 2010
Vet Tech (California)
Well built, sturdy 3 ft ramp for a 6 inch step. Coming in very handy for getting my 84 year old mom outdoors to enjoy the weather while recovering from a broken hip and wrist. It's portable and can fit nicely in my car to be used while visiting friends or shopping. It also fits a standard doorway.
