Wheelchair ramps for doorways, steps and vehicles
Valuhub's wheelchair ramps collection brings together ramps designed to help with access at doorways, steps, vehicles and home entries. Portable folding ramps are the largest group, followed by rubber threshold ramps. The range also has a telescoping channel ramp and a modular system.
These ramps suit wheelchair and scooter users, caregivers and families planning a safer entry. Valuhub Canada lists the length, width and rated capacity on every product page. For chairs and scooters, see our wheelchairs.
Wheelchair ramps at a glance
Types of wheelchair ramps in this collection
Four ramp types make up this range. The table compares them by use and typical features.
Portable folding ramps
Portable folding ramps are the largest group in this collection. Each folding wheelchair ramp lists its own length. Single-fold ramps open flat like a case, in lengths such as 3, 4 or 6 ft. Multifold ramps fold in sections in 6, 8, 10 or 12 ft lengths. Most are aluminum, and many list a 600 lb (272 kg) capacity. One 8 ft model has reinforced welded hinges. See our mobility ramps for more short options.
Rubber and aluminum threshold ramps
A threshold ramp bridges a small rise at a door, curb or step. The recycled rubber models list rises from 1/2 to 3 in (1.3 to 7.6 cm). One is 41.5 in (105 cm) wide. One model adds StoneCap for wet-area traction, and another comes with a shim kit. Aluminum threshold ramps in 2 ft and 3 ft lengths are also listed.
Telescoping channel ramps
A telescoping channel ramp slides to the length you need. The listed aluminum model adjusts from 6 to 10 ft (1.8 to 3 m). It lists a 600 lb (272 kg) capacity. This style can suit loading a wheelchair or scooter into a vehicle. Check the channel width against your wheel spacing.
Modular ramp systems
A modular wheelchair ramp system builds a longer ramp from sections and a landing. The listed package reaches 16 ft (4.9 m) with a 5 ft 4 in (1.6 m) landing. Systems like this are designed for a steady home entry, not for carrying around. Plan the layout with a professional and check local building rules.
Check each product page for exact sizes, rise limits and rated capacity.
How do you choose a wheelchair ramp?
Measure the rise first
Measure from the ground to the top of the step or door sill in inches. A threshold ramp suits a rise of about 1/2 to 3 in (1.3 to 7.6 cm). Steps and vehicles need a longer folding ramp.
Match the length to the slope
A common planning guide is 1 inch of rise for every 12 inches of ramp, or 1:12. A 6 in (15 cm) rise then needs about 6 ft (1.8 m). Longer ramps give a gentler slope.
Check capacity and width
The rated capacity must cover the chair, the user and any gear together. Many an aluminum wheelchair ramp lists 600 lb (272 kg). Compare the ramp width with your wheel spacing.
Look at surface and rails
Grip tape and non-slip textured aluminum help with traction. Side rails help keep wheels on the ramp. Wet areas call for a surface designed for traction, so check the listing.
Plan carrying and storage
A carrying handle makes a short folding ramp easier to move. Compare folded size with your trunk or closet in centimetres and inches.
Where do wheelchair ramps work best?
Home entries and steps are the most common use. A single-fold or multifold ramp covers a few steps at a porch or deck. A modular system suits a permanent entry. Browse more daily living help in our mobility aids.
Doorways and thresholds need a lower, shorter ramp. A rubber threshold ramp bridges a door lip or garage curb. It is designed to reduce the bump for wheels, walkers and carts.
Vehicles and travel call for a portable ramp that you can lift. A telescoping ramp or a scooter ramp helps with loading a chair into a van or truck. See our mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs.
How do you set up and care for a wheelchair ramp?
A wheelchair ramp needs a firm, level base and a careful check before each use. Open it fully until the hinges lock, and set both ends so they cannot slip. Keep the surface clean and clear of snow and ice, and inspect hinges and grip tape often. Follow the product page and manual for load limits.

Please note: These ramps are designed to help with access. A wrong slope or an overloaded ramp can be unsafe, so check the rated capacity and follow the manual. Ask an occupational therapist or accessibility professional about your needs.
Wheelchair ramp FAQs
What is the best slope for a wheelchair ramp?
A common planning guide is 1:12, which means 1 inch of rise for every 12 inches of ramp. A 6 in (15 cm) rise needs about 6 ft (1.8 m). Building rules vary, so check the rules for permanent ramps.
How long does a ramp for wheelchair use need to be?
Measure the rise in inches, then use a gentler slope when you can. At 1:12, each inch of rise needs about 1 ft of ramp. Longer ramps are easier to climb and safer for caregivers pushing the chair.
How much weight can a portable wheelchair ramp hold?
Many aluminum ramps in this range list 600 lb (272 kg). The rating must cover the chair, the user and any gear together. Check each product page, because capacity can differ by model and length.
What is a threshold ramp used for?
A threshold ramp bridges a small rise, such as a door sill, a garage lip or a low curb. The rubber models here list rises from 1/2 to 3 in (1.3 to 7.6 cm). Measure the rise before you choose.
Can wheelchair ramps stay outside?
Check the product page first. Aluminum and recycled rubber are common outdoor materials. In winter, keep the surface clear of snow and ice. Store a folding ramp indoors when it is not in use.
Can scooters use these ramps?
Many folding ramps in this range list scooters in the title. Check the width, the length and the rated capacity against your scooter and rider weight. A longer ramp gives a gentler slope.
