Choosing the right ramp is necessary if you want to make your home a friendly environment for relatives and friends with mobility concerns and rely on mobility aid to move around. SafeHandsMobility.co.uk gives helpful info about the different types of ramps. These are:

Channel Ramp: This type of ramp is lightweight and easy to use. Both wheelchairs and four-wheeled mobility scooters can use this type of ramp which is kept secure and in place by a special lip that guarantees the ramp is fixed on the floor. This is a great ramp for outdoor use as well, with its anti-corrosion finish.
Threshold Ramp: This is a sturdy and lightweight ramp, thanks to its aluminum build. It allows easy wheelchair access over raised doorways. Wheels get better traction because of the ridges in its top surface.
Rollup Ramp: Another strong and lightweight ramp ideal for wheelchairs and mobility scooters, this ramp also allows easy storage because it can be rolled up.

Threshold Ramp: A ramp designed with a non-slip top surface that allows it to be easily carried and positioned, also ideal for mobility scooters in Thanet.
