LEMNISCATE Wheelchair Ramp, Portable Fold Wheelchair Ramp, Lightweight Aluminum Ramps, Used for Wheelchairs, Thresholds, Stairs, Doorways, Scooters, 6 ft Long x 30 in Wide Anti-Slip, Capacity 600lbs

These work for me. They seem sturdy and hold a standard wheelchair with rider ok. Easy to carry around with the built-in handle. Easy to lay where you want and unfold. As to being heavy, well, it is what it is. I have the 3 foot ones. They weight 18 pounds. My bowling ball weighs 16 pounds by comparison. The only thing I would possibly change is to have a longer lip where it lays on the step and some way of having a stronger grip on the step (I don't know what that would be). Overall, though, I like them and they serve the purpose I wanted them for.

I bought this ramp to be able to easily move my wife in her wheelchair from our family room to the surrounding deck. The deck is 7" below the room, so I bought the 3' model. It's very well made and sturdy. It flexes a little bit when I walk on it, but that's to be expected and is not a problem. To not flex it would have to be so heavy I wouldn't be able to lift it. Because my doorway includes a storm door I had to install the ramp a little different from normal. One end of the ramp is considered the top; the other end is the bottom. There are only two difference between the two ends. The top has some holes to aid when it's folded. And the top also has some non-skid material to keep it from - yes - skidding off the door threshold. But I had to install it with the top end down. And I screwed it to the deck to prevent it from slipping. It works great. I suppose I could have rated it lower, but in my experience any general purpose product might have to be modified a little to work properly in the real world. So I'm happy with it.

I had plans to build a ramp because it's getting harder and harder to get my wife's wheelchair up/down the 5" step at the front door. This ramp is a MUCH better solution. I can use it to get the chair out of the house, put it the back of the van in case I need it at our destination, and then use it again to get the chair back into the house. It folds easily and stores behind the front door when not in use. Much better than a permanent wooden ramp at the door.

Makes leaving my house much easier with my wheelchair. Easy to install.

If I walk up the ramp there is a lot of bend in the ramp. I got this ramp to get a wheel chair up a 1 to 2 inch step and not sure how safe I feel on it.
