VNN Portable Wheelchair Ramp 4FT, Non-Slip Aluminum Ramps for Wheelchairs for Home, Handicap Wheelchair Ramps for Home Steps, Aluminum Loading Dock Plates, Doorways

I bought this for my dog who tore his acl, needed surgery, and wasn't allowed to do steps or jump in and out of the car. I had a previous more normal dog ramp that wasn't wide enough for my dog, so I bought this wheel chair ramp because I wanted to make sure my dog was safe. I've mainly used it for my dog to go outside down a couple of patio steps. So I had set in place and it stayed there for weeks. It was very helpful and effective for that. The length was vital and worked well. It was easy to open up and set in place. Sturdy and solid for my 250lb self and 60 lb dog to walk up and down, though it has a little give to it. Since I'm in the midwest, the grip texture is great to prevent slipping most of the time. With snow and ice though, it does get very slick. I shoveled it off and put some pet safe salt on the ramp to prevent that. I did fold it back up and move it to use with my SUV to take my dog for post surgery folowup visits since he's not allowed to jump into car and heavy to lift in.. It does work well for that too and folds up nicely to fit easily in my back seat. However, for a time or two that's great... but for long term use that gets to be old. It's difficult to fold up and put away while also dealing with an excited dog. It also does take up the whole back seat. For my purposes, that was all fine and livable. It's wide width was excellent for my dog, especially when he was unstable with a limp. For long term use, I'd go back to a more compact dog car ramp when he's healed. I think it would do well for its intended purpose of a wheel chair ramp that is occasional use portable.

This is the second ramp I’ve purchased from this manufacturer and I like the strength and portability, and the non-slip texture. It’s easy to use, and then fold up and carry with you if needed. Just get the right length for your steps and the incline will match. This ramp was purchased for a single three inch step.

This ramp was purchased for an aging Chocolate Lab to get in and out of RV. I love it and it works great except the covering is slippery. Also a slight bit heavy to carry. But if using for Wheel Chair it would be perfect. Holds the weight really well.

I’m pretty happy with this ramp. It’s kind of awkward to set up as it the runners fold in and together. But it is easily portable with 2 handles. I’m 110 lbs and it’s alittle bit awkward for me but it is manageable. It’s sturdy, has great slip resistant pads and says weight limits 800 lbs. wanted to make sure it was sturdy enough so my 190 lbs son in a wheelchair won’t be stressed out. He’s very happy with it and that is what’s important.

We recently moved into our new-build retirement house (aka "the death house"), which we had build with future accessibility in mind. Towards that end, the doors are all wide for wheelchairs (though we're not using those yet), a ranch layout, door levers instead of knobs, grab handles in the bathrooms, and a walk-in tub. But we didn't do anything about the curb at the front and garage doors. With my in-laws (both limited mobility) coming for Thanksgiving, we ordered this wheelchair ramp, and it wound up working great. Easily cleared the 3" curb on the front door, with a wide enough lip to keep it secure on the curb. We could have gone shorter (consult the chart in the item pictures), but this should also be long enough to help load mobility scooters in the back of the SUV for outings or repair trips. Light enough for me to easily move, and the lengthwise fold makes it more manageable.

The ramps are very well made and provide easy access for any wheelchair or walker. They are heavy duty but still light enough to fold and store.

Works wonderfully. Easy to install.

I got this to replace a rotted part of a wooden ramp. The part closest to the ground had rotted away, but the rest is still intact. This ramp was far more affordable than what a professional carpenter would charge to either fix it with wood or rip it out and put in stairs. I use a walker, not a wheelchair - and frankly, I would be more comfortable with a set of "half-stairs" (stairs only 3" high instead of the usual 6"), but the previous owner had chosen a ramp for his needs and completely deleted any stairs that might have been in this spot. Anyway, this ramp seems great after one use. It not only bridges the space between the ground and the still-useful wood, but goes up far enough that there's plenty of stability. I like that it has decent edges, which will be great when hauling stuff up with a dolly. I don't have to deal with rolling things in very often, but when the occasion does arise, not having to worry about dropping a wheel off the side will be a plus. The great things about it being aluminum are that it should be able to handle being left out in the Florida weather forever, and it's a lot lighter than steel or thick plywood would be. I also love the nonslip layer. I don't intend to "port" this "portable" ramp anywhere ever, and I will say that I'm glad of that. It's heavy enough that it would be a royal pain if I had to move it. The only problem is that it came without any written setup instructions. The enclosed booklet just gave warnings. I knocked off one star for that. I am NOT a "visual learner" who can just watch a video once and know what to do. Written instructions with words and diagrams would have been much better!! As it was, I had to watch a video about 10 times to see exactly what the demo person was doing. With proper written instructions, I would have understood in just one read-through. It is something that, once you've done it once, you won't need instructions again. But if you've never done anything like this before, it's not intuitive at all despite only needing four "unfolding" motions. Bending is hard for me, so I couldn't measure before I ordered and I had to guess. It turned out to be about 1-1/2 feet too short to cover the entire length of the existing wood ramp. That's on me. I couldn't have handled a heavier one anyway. But later on, I may buy a 2-foot ramp to use as an extension.
