Navigating the myriad options of mobility ramps can often feel overwhelming, whether you are an Occupational Therapist committed to finding the optimal solution for your client or a service user, or an end-user seeking the perfect ramp for your home or daily life. At Enable Access, we understand that a ramp is not just a piece of equipment; it is a critical tool for restoring independence, ensuring safety, and enhancing quality of life.
Choosing the most suitable ramp is a decision that requires careful consideration of numerous factors—from the unique physical and cognitive needs of the user to the specific environmental constraints of the installation site. Simply measuring the rise and selecting a standard ramp length is often insufficient. Occupational Therapists, with their deep understanding of functional ability and environmental interaction, are key to this process, yet even the most experienced professionals can benefit from access to specialist knowledge and a comprehensive product range.
For Occupational Therapists: We are committed to being your trusted partner in prescribing the ideal mobility solution. Our extensive range of ramps—including modular systems, portable folding ramps, threshold ramps, and fixed options—is designed to meet the full spectrum of complexity and configuration. We appreciate the importance of factors such as:
Gradient and Safety Standards: Ensuring compliance with Building Regulations and best practice for user safety and comfort.
Load-Bearing Capacity: Matching the ramp to the weight of the user and their mobility aid (e.g. powered wheelchairs, bariatric users etc).
Surface and Grip: Selecting materials that provide maximum traction in all weather conditions, a critical element in risk assessment.
Portability vs. Permanent Installation: Determining whether a temporary, easy-to-deploy solution or a durable, fixed system is appropriate for the service user or client’s current and future needs.
Aesthetics and Integration: Finding solutions that integrate seamlessly and discreetly into the home or public environment, respecting the client’s desire for a non-institutional feel.
For End-Users and Carers: Your goal is simple: to move freely and safely. The confusion often lies in translating your everyday requirements into a technical product specification.
You may be asking: Will this ramp fit over my specific threshold? Is it strong enough? Can I put it away easily? We are here to demystify the process and provide straightforward, expert guidance. Our focus is on your specific situation—whether you need temporary access for a hospital discharge, a robust solution for a scooter, or a simple fix for an internal door threshold.
