Van ramps can be a crucial feature for people who require mobility aids to move around. These ramps provide a safe and convenient way to enter and exit a van or car, without the need for lifting or carrying the mobility aid. In this blog, we'll explore the benefits of van ramps and discuss some of the different types available.

Benefits of Van Ramps

There are numerous benefits of van ramps, including:

  • Improved Accessibility - Van ramps provide individuals with mobility challenges the opportunity to access their van independently. This freedom allows them to go about their daily lives with greater ease, such as visiting friends and family, attending appointments, or running errands.
  • Reduced Risk of Injury - Carrying or lifting mobility aids can be challenging, especially for individuals with limited mobility. Van ramps eliminate this risk, as they provide a safe and stable surface for entering and exiting the van.
  • Easy to Use - Van ramps are simple to use, and most models require only a few steps to set up. This ease of use ensures that individuals can get in and out of their van quickly and without assistance.

  • Folding Ramps - Folding ramps are convenient and easy to store. They are available in various lengths and can support different weights, making them ideal for different types of mobility aids.
  • In-Floor Ramps - In-floor ramps are designed to be hidden inside the van's floor when not in use. They are ideal for individuals who require a more seamless appearance, as they do not take up any additional space.
