Portable Wheelchair Suitcase Ramps
Suitcase or bi-fold portable wheelchair ramps are ramps which are specifically designed to be used, folded in half and stowed in a vehicle, taken to another location and used again.
Suitcase 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.

To meet most accessiblity and building codes in Canada and the ADA requirements in the U.S. a ramp shoud have at lease 12" of length for every 1" of rise. Portable ramps are not required to meet these codes but portable ramp manufacturers recommend a minimum of 6" of ramp for each 1" of rise.
