5.5' to 10' Portable Wheelchair Ramps, Telescoping, 600 lbs Cap, Silver Spring

I purchased this particular style ramp as a way to load my 70# folding e-bike into the back of my Subaru. I considered wider ramps but this one seemed to offer the best option. I only need one track of the ramp and I can roll the bike right into my car. The bike was too heavy to safely load without assist. The ramp telescopes to 10'. It is very sturdy and easily supports the bike weight. Loads easily into the back of my car so is very handy to pull out when I want to take the bike out of the car. The only downside for me, but not a big deal actually, is the single ramp is a little heavy (which by the way accounts for it being super sturdy and that is a plus). Has raised edges which keeps my bike from slipping off. Excellent traction. Buttons to push to retract and expand work really well. Quality is excellent. I am very pleased.

When a friend of mine arrived at a trike ride and unloaded her recumbent trike from her vehicle using these ramps, I knew these are what I needed. I came home, browsed thru Amazon and found the Silver Spring telescoping 5-7 ft ramps. I felt that I needed a little bit longer ramps being that my vehicle was higher off of the ground. I place my order and the ramps actually arrived one day earlier than what was scheduled. Upon unpacking and giving them a good look, I found two defects on one of the ramps. I then went to my Amazon order and contacted the seller, providing pictures. The customer service was very prompt in their reply and offered to send a replacement which arrived very quickly. If you are looking for an economical, light weight and sturdy set of ramps for recumbent trike, wheelchair, or anything that has wheels for loading and unloading - look no further.

I am 78 and disabled and thes ramps are perfect for my use. Very well-made and sturdy. My 260 lb scooter with me (180 lbs) on it went up and down these ramps easily. Not even a hint of weakness. They extend and retract easily and are quite lightweight. Most important, though, is the fact that they take up less room in my van. They are much easier for me to handle than the old one-piece aluminum ramp I had before purchasing these. Not only that but they were shipped almost immediately and got here when I needed them. 5 stars all around.

I'm using these ramps to load my e-assist recumbent trike into my Kia Carnival minivan...approx loading height of 23". Weight of trike approx 60 lbs. These ramps are fully extended. They worked perfectly, making loading and unloading by myself (60 yo woman) a breeze. I love the 'rubber' grip on the underside that rests on my car and also on the lower end that sits on the ground. The ramps didn't move as I loaded or unloaded and are wide enough not to have to be perfectly aligned to use them and the outer edge has a tall lip so there's no fear of running off the ramp. The texture on the ramp also helped make it easy to roll, the ramps didn't flex (requiring more muscle from me!) and overall I couldn't be happier. Oh, and the push button to collapse or extend is metal so I don't expect it to break like other ramps reviews I've read. After my husband spent about $150 on trying to create our own cheaper set of ramps (they flexed making it hard for me to use, they moved all around etc) I broke down and just spent the money...it was worth it. Save yourself the trouble and just buy ready-made.

The basic design is sound enough. However, many details in construction very much reduced the usability. In particular, the locking button is too stiff to be operated. As other reviewers have mentioned, the only way to open the ramps up is to drive the detent button in with a hammer and peen.The printed instructions are not complete. There is a pin permanently wired to the ramp the use of which is not indicated.The return process is also not up to the usual Amazon standard. Return shipment is not paid for. Had I not been in such a rush to get this ramp for an emergency, and had I known of this limitation, I most definitely would not have purchased.To sum up: basic functionality is adequate, but details sorely lacking. Company policies are unfriendly.

So these bad boys are heavy and heavy duty.First time trying to extend them thogh was not easy and required 2 strong people. Once opened up I found out that it can't be extended to a unique length of your own needing and safely secure the ramp so it won't close or extend while in use. It is either 5 feet or 10 feet. Nothing in between.I did not realize until I got it.

All the paramedics in my town want to know where I got my portable ramps! They love them and so do I. They are so convenient and easy to put up and break down. Just press a button and they slide out to telescope. Press the button again to push them back in. I live in a beautiful 95 year old Southern cottage flanked by live oaks. I just couldn't stomach building ugly ramps onto the house so I decided to give these a try and am so glad I did. They work beautifully and I keep them stashed behind the front door in the foyer. And, I the price of the ramps was nearly 75% less than building permanent ramps! I also love that they will fit into most cars without any fuss so you can take your accessibility on the road.
