Safety Precautions
When choosing a ramp, the length, and
therefore the angle of the ramp depends upon:
The height to be raised
The type of wheelchair or scooter
The weight of the wheelchair or scooter and
the user
The strength of the helper or user.
As a general guide, a raise of 1 in 12 is
suggested when the user is seated on the
wheelchair or scooter.
For loading an unmanned wheelchair or scooter
into a vehicle, a higher gradient can be used,
but this should not exceed 1 in 3. In addition to
this, it is important that you refer to your
vehicle’s user guide for the proper degree of
incline/decline and direction before using the
ramp.
Never exceed its recommendations.
Only carry the ramp using the carry handle.
Take care when lifting; follow standard
manual handling procedures.
Take particular care when using the ramp in
wet/damp conditions.
Care and Maintenance
Inspect the ramp regularly for signs of damage/
loose screws etc.
Do not use if the ramp is damaged.
Clean regularly, wipe over with a solution of mild
detergent and water.
