When a rubber ramp is theright answer.

Rubber suits a small rise. Past roughly 190mm — one full step — a built ramp is safer, and we will tell you so rather than sell you the cheaper job.

  • Doorway thresholds

    The 20 to 60mm lip at a sliding door or front door, which is what stops most wheelchairs and walkers.

  • A single step

    One step at a back door, a garage, or out to the yard, where building a ramp would mean concreting.

  • Rentals and short stays

    Nothing is fixed to the building, so it comes with you and leaves no mark.

  • While you wait on funding

    A ramp can be in place this week and a permanent build approved later.

Questions

What people ask aboutrubber ramps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can a rubber ramp be in place?
Usually the same day. There is nothing to build and nothing to fix down, so once the threshold is measured the ramp goes straight in.
Will it damage the doorway or the floor?
No. Nothing is fixed to the building, so the ramp leaves no mark and no holes. That is what makes it suitable for a rental, a retirement unit, or a short stay.
What size step or threshold do they suit?
Anything from the 20 to 60mm lip you find at a sliding door or a front door up to a single step of about 190mm. Anything higher, or a rise that needs a run with handrails, calls for a built ramp instead.
Can I take it with me if I move?
Yes. The ramp belongs to you rather than to the house, so it comes with you and goes straight down at the new address. Nothing has to be undone, and there is nothing to make good.
Can I use one while I wait on funding?
That is one of the most useful things about them. A rubber ramp can restore access this week while a permanent modification is being assessed and approved.
