“As well as being
extremely stable and reliable,
it is also light enough
to be easily moved around”,
says David. Sue, who suffers
from MS, and has been totally
dependent on her wheelchair
over the last four years
says: “Also, it is
the only ramp we have seen
that is flexible and bends,
making it an extremely
versatile product that
can be used nearly everywhere.”
The award winning ramping
system, designed to make
the lives of people with
impaired mobility and their
families easier, is simply
rolled out into position
whenever needed and, when
finished with, rolled or
folded up for convenient
storage. Fabricated of
lightweight yet extremely
strong anodised aluminium,
it holds up to 900kg of
distributed weight.
“When at home, I
have the ramp set up so
that I easily can get in
and out of the bungalow,
and when leaving the house,
we always take the ramp
with us in the car, so
that it is there for any
eventuality. It has made
it so much easier for us
to go to places that may
not be specially adapted
for wheelchair users, such
as when visiting friends
and family or when going
out to theatres and restaurants,” Sue
says.
As an example, she mentions
a recent episode where
one of their friends had
forgotten to check whether
the restaurant they were
meeting in was adapted
for wheelchair users. On
arrival, the ramp, which
was stored in the boot
of the car, came in handy,
impressing both guests
and waiters. It was rolled
out in a matter of minutes,
ensuring that Sue could
get on with her social
life, without any of the
inconvenience or embarrassment
an incident such as this
might easily have caused.
“
You don’t realise
how great it is until
you have tried one”,
says Sue. “ But
one thing is certain:
now that I’ve got
one, I just wouldn’t
be without it!”
The ramp, which comes
with a 10-year warranty,
is available in two standard
widths to any length required
and comes with carrying
straps for transportation
and storage. Ramps and
extra sections are available
direct from Roll-a-Ramp.
Strong and durable, it
is said to be the perfect
solution to any access
problem.
