Solid One Piece Wheelchair Ramps
Solid wheelchair ramps are ramps which are specifically designed to be easily used but not very portable. It doesn't have to be folded or unfolded and can be simply set in place and used.
Although they can be transported to different places, they are not very compact and some are quite heavy. This style of ramp may be considered semi-permanent in the case of the heavier models.
Solid wheelchair ramps can be used, depending on length, for accessing a vehicle, a curb, porch, 1 or 2 steps.
Because they are full width platforms, they can be used for both manual and power wheelchairs or three or four wheeled scooters.
