RAMPS FOR WHEELCHAIRS mobility car adaptations from Bradley Auto Services
Tailboard ramp: The expanded metal ramp surface ensures rear vision through the ramp when it is recessed and allows snow and dirt to pass through, while providing the best anti-skid protection. All components are anodised making it extremely easy to keep the ramp clean. Simple manipulation allows the ramp to be coupled to or uncoupled from the vehicle with minimum delay. The ramp attaches to the vehicle floor with a quick-release catch that provides easy uncoupling.
Available in 2- and 3-section versions. The ramps have an internal width of 80 cm and are available in a large variety of lengths. The shortest ramp has a height of 70 cm when recessed and the largest, 142 cm and there are nine other lengths in between these two extremes. A gate feature is available that allows the rear doors to open and close without the ramp being extended. Made from 100% recyclable material.
Telescopic ramps: These are intended primarily for manual wheelchairs and weight between 2.6 and 13.6 kg each, according to model and length. They are available of lengths of 100, 200 and 300 cm fully extended. Perforation with raised collars around every hole provides excellent anti-skid protection that allows dirt and snow to pass through, ensuring excellent tyre grip all year round.
Any one of the portable ramps can be used for a manual wheel-chair, while E- or Z-ramps should be chosen in the case of electric wheelchairs with a low ground clearance.
The E ramp: It has a low weight, carrying handles, transport safety device and approved edge protection. It is distinguished from other ramps by its wide surface (25- 26.5 cm), which allows it to take electric wheelchairs with differing wheel spacing or extra wide tyres.
The Z ramp: has been specially developed to handle electric wheelchairs. The ramp section has both a high and a low edge. The low inner edges allow electric wheelchairs to use the ramp even if the ground clearance is low. In addition, the ramps are extra wide to take chairs where front and rear wheel spacing differs considerably. Central ramps. There are intended for 3-wheel chairs as a complement to the Z-ramps on whose inner edges they rest. |
