PVI 16x32 wheelchair ramp is a bargain and reliable.
I purchased this size ramp to handle wheelchair access over the two-inch threshold to our house and it has done that, but I wish now that I had selected a size longer than 16 inches in order to have a more gradual incline. I use a power wheelchair with plenty of power but have found that the chair's direction becomes a little unstable when it reaches the top of the ramp due to the slope, necessitating careful maneuvering to continue in a straight line into the house. It was easy to install, however, with the included mounting screws and seems sturdy and durable.

| Editorial Review :
Our modular ramp systems are all aluminum and are suitable for both home access and commercial use. This 36 inch wide ramp system has a load carrying capacity of 100 pounds per square foot. The ramp system consists of standard components that can be assembled quickly and easily with common hand tools. The modular components make it easy to move the ramp to a new location or change the configuration. Straight ramps, 90 degree turns, and 180 degree switchbacks are designed to meet ADA recommendations. Standard handrails consist of two 1 1/2 inch diameter horizontal rails. Optional handrail designs are available. This system is able to accommodate architectural inserts to complement the surroundings. Strong and durable, this modular ramp system is portable and flexible. Yet it is affordable enough to make it the best alternative to provide quality, functional access to many areas.

Question : Does anyone know what it would cost me to build a wheelchair ramp for a 35" high starting point?
Wooden I'm guessing would be cheaper but I'm not sure. Please only people who know what they are talking about. Tx

You'll need outdoor grade plywood, 4x4's and 2x4's. Draw it out, figure out how much wood, and call your local builder supply.

I have a 9 year old son with cerebral palsy and he's getting too big for my car. I'm in the process of buying a used van, but I'm going to need a ramp put in and I don't have the money to do it. A few people said the Lions Club, or Rotary Club. But, I've never had to ask for money from an organization. I'm just not sure where to start.
Answer:
Another good one is the shriners,they sponser my daughter,5yo w/cerebral palsy.We haven't gotten a van yet,and I'm not sure if they will help.If you buy a new van,both Chevy and Ford have programs that will pay up to 500 and up to 1000$ of the retrofit.I looked for my favorite's links to some site's,but could not find them.Try searching handicap accessible grant.

Question : Wheelchair Ramp-A contractor is building a wheelchair accessibility ramp ?
(see figure) for a business. Using your knowledge of right-triangle trigonometry, help advise him how to create a ramp whose dimensions will meet the specification needed that will allow wheelchair accessibility. Talk about the procedure the contractor will need to follow to find the dimensions of the three sides and the measurements of the three angles. Consider the implications of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in your discussion and provide an example.
Answer:
Basic issue is the maximum safe ramp angle. If you know the height difference then you can find the length of ramp by the following relationship:
ramp length = (height change) / sin (ramp angle)
suppose the height difference is 4 ft, and safe maximum ramp angle is 10 degree (I don't know this angle is correct, you need to look this up at ADA website). Then the length of ramp is:
ramp length = 4 / sin 10 = 23 ft.

Question : Does anyone know who I can contact to have a wheelchair ramp built?
I live on a fixed income due to my dissability and cant afford to pay anyone or get a loan to have one built. Any sugestions would be very helpfull.
Answer:
Contact your local Boy Scout Troop. Eagle candidates need to do a service project. They are always on the look out for appropriate tasks. This is exactly the kind of thing they like to do. The only drawback is there is some lag time, because the project needs to be approved by the BSA regional people, before the work can get started. They can fund raise and will work under trained adult supervision. You can even take some satisfaction in that you're helping some hard-working kid achieve a pretty difficult goal.
