Rubber ramps, in placethe same day.
A rubber wheelchair ramp takes the step out of a doorway, with nothing to build or fix to your home. It is often in place the day we visit.
Barrier-free access,without the build.
A rubber ramp is a quick, simple way to remove a small step at your door. It suits a doorway lip, a sliding door track, or a single step out to the yard.
It is made from tough, weatherproof rubber with a non-slip surface, so it works inside and out, at home or at a business. Wheelchairs, walkers, and scooters roll over it smoothly.
Nothing is drilled or glued. The ramp sits in place, so it leaves no mark and can come with you if you move.
When rubberis the right choice.
Rubber suits a small step, up to about 190mm. For anything higher, a built ramp is safer, and we will tell you so rather than sell you the cheaper job.
Doorway lips
The small lip at a front or sliding door, often 20–60mm, which stops many wheelchairs and walkers.
A single step
One step at a back door, a garage, or out to the yard, without any concreting.
Rentals and short stays
Nothing is fixed to the building, so it needs no permission and leaves no mark.
While you wait on funding
A ramp can be in place this week while a bigger job is being approved.

A step ramp
For a single step up to 190 mm, no longer than 1.9 metres. A rubber ramp or a small built ramp suits. If you have the room, a 1:14 ramp is easier to push up.
| Type | Gradient | Min run | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| General access ramp | 1:14 | 840 mm | Allowed for this rise |
| Step ramp | 1:10 | 600 mm | Allowed for this rise |
| Threshold ramp | 1:8 | 480 mm | Not suitable |
This is a guide based on the Australian Standard for access (AS 1428.1), not a design. A safe ramp also depends on its width, rails, edges, surface, and the door at the top. That is why we measure and design every ramp on site. What the numbers mean
Made to last,inside and out.
The rubber stands up to sun, rain, and everyday use, and the surface grips even when it is wet. That makes it safe for anyone with limited mobility, including wheelchair users and older people.
A bright yellow edge can be added, so the start of the ramp is easy to see in low light.
How itworks.
Home visit
We measure your step and check the ground on both sides.
A clear, fixed quote
You get a written price, set out so your plan manager, case manager, or occupational therapist can approve it easily.
Fitted, often the same day
There is nothing to build, so the ramp can often go straight in.
Backed by warranty
All work is done by licensed tradespeople and backed by the relevant warranties.
