Max height per length - I think you made an error in previous question.
Hello. You stated that for every foot in length we can go up nearly a metre. Surely this is incorrect? My fathers doorstep is 10 inches high, so how long would the ramp need to be for a unpowered wheelchair.
Submitted by Paul - Basildon
Thanks for spotting that, now corrected. For a 10 inch step, you'd need a ramp of 7 foot for to create a gradient of 12%, which should be manageable for a manual wheelchair. For powered chairs, the general rule for these ramps is that for every unit of height raised a ramp needs to be 6 units long, making a gradient of 16.6%.
Would this take an electric wheelchair?
Would this take the weight of an electric wheelchair with person in?

The maximum loading capacity is 270kg. So in answer to your question, it would be relative to the weight of the scooter and the weight of the passenger. Thank you for your question!
What are the maximum height rise for each length ramp please?
To use in both doorway up two shallow steps.

A ramp should be 6 times longer than the height you need to rise. So a 6 inch step would require a 3 foot ramp, and so on.
Loading capacity
Can this ramp be used to load my 4 wheel golf buggy 100kg into the back of my wifes 2006 Mercedes A Class?

The loading capacity for the Clever Suitcase Ramp is 270kg/42st 7lbs. Thank you for your question.
No fixings at top of steps
This ramp will lead up three steps to a wooden floor in a village hall. No fixings at the hall entrance will it stay in place.

Thank you for your enquiry. The Clever Suitcase Ramp does have a lip at each end of the ramp which will rest over the area you wish to place it and keep the ramp in place.
