Q. What length wheelchair ramp do I need?
A. For occupied use, allow 1 foot of ramp length for every 1 inch of rise (the ADA-recommended 1:12 slope). For example, a 6-inch step needs a 6 ft ramp, and a 4-inch curb needs a 4 ft ramp. Steeper slopes may be acceptable for unoccupied loading — call our ramp specialists if you're unsure which length fits your entryway.
Q. How much weight can the SUITCASE Singlefold ramp hold?
A. Every SUITCASE Singlefold ramp is rated for 800 lbs — enough to safely support the user together with a manual wheelchair, power wheelchair, or mobility scooter.
Q. Does this ramp work with mobility scooters and power chairs?
A. Yes. The full-length 30-inch usable width and 800 lb capacity accommodate manual and electric wheelchairs, 3- and 4-wheel mobility scooters, and walkers. Raised safety edges on both sides keep wheels on the ramp surface.
Q. How portable is a singlefold ramp?
A. The ramp folds in half lengthwise to a 15-inch width with a built-in carry handle, so it carries like a suitcase. Weights range from 11 lbs (2 ft) to 47 lbs (8 ft). Note that a singlefold ramp stays as long as its overall length when folded — if you need a ramp that folds shorter, consider our SUITCASE Trifold models.
Q. What's the difference between a singlefold and trifold ramp?
A. A singlefold ramp folds once along its length — fastest to set up, but it stays full-length when folded. A trifold ramp folds in both directions, packing down to roughly half its length for easier trunk storage. Both offer the same 800 lb capacity and non-skid surface.
Q. Is the ramp safe to use in wet weather?
A. Yes. The extruded non-skid driving surface is engineered to provide traction in wet and dry conditions, and the aluminum construction will not rust.
Q. Does the SUITCASE Singlefold ramp require assembly or installation?
A. No. The ramp arrives ready to use — simply unfold it and position it on your steps, curb, or raised landing. No tools, hardware, or permanent installation required.
Q. What warranty and shipping do you offer?
A. Every SUITCASE Singlefold ramp includes a lifetime manufacturer warranty from EZ-ACCESS and free ground shipping from Express Ramps, with delivery typically in 3–5 business days.
