Ruedamann 7FT Telescopic Wheelchair Ramp with Handle, 8.3" Wide, 2PCS

The ramp is made out of aluminum and will never rust and being adjustable in length up to 7ft is very versatile. Carrying handles make it easy to move from the van to the stairs. It holds my weight of 175lbs easily. The safety pins are a good feature and keeps it safe without slipping off the van. Their customer service is the best I’ve experienced on Amazon. Five stars!!! Would recommend and buy again.

Excellent quality. Love the handles. Clamps effortlessly and yet very strong. Easily extends and retracts. I’m a 5’1” 69 yr old woman and find it light yet sturdy. I use them to load my 3 wheel recumbent trike bike!

This review is specifically for folks who need these to get their chair into a vehicle. So my issue is my heart, and I have a very heavy (450lb) powerchair. I got one of those folding ramps and it was like 50lbs, I couldn't even assemble it without complications, let alone shove the chair up it into the cargo bed of my SUV, so I had to return it. These are perfect. Like 14lbs each, easily set up. And you can walk between them to push the chair up, instead of loading from the side, so you can put your whole weight behind pushing, making it much easier. For folks who aren't strong, or if you have bad days where you can't exert yourself like me, you can get a little hand winch or electric winch attached to the seatbacks to pull it up the ramps for you. Getting a manual chair up these would be a breeze.

We purchased this set of ramps so we could transport my Powerchair from place to place. I was a little worried because a few reviews said that the middle ledge was too high and their powerchair couldn't clear it- thankfully that wasn't the case with mine, and the chair just barely clears the ledges. We ordered the ramps that extend to 7 feet, and I'm glad we did. We almost ordered shorter ones but we definitely need the 7 foot ones to be able to get the powerchair into our van. The ramps are pretty easy to use, they only take a few minutes to set up each time. It seems a little odd that each ramp only has one pin-hole to secure the ramp to the van. It seems to me that two holes on each ramp would hold them in place more securely and help keep them from wobbling from side to side. Overall, though, I am really happy with this purchase as it has enabled me to get out of the house with my powerchair!

These Ruedamann ramps are a lifesaver. My wife had surgery and was confined to a wheelchair for a few months. Lifting that heavy wheelchair into the back of my truck was getting really old. I tried some folding steel ramps and they were overkill, too heavy, too slippery, etc. I bought these Ruedamann ramps and all was well again. They are light, but very strong, compact for what they are, have rails on the side, and traction grit on the surface, and have completely saved my back from lifting. They are really high quality, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. The one and only thing I wish were different about them would be to include or make available a storage bag for them.

I got the 10' ramp to get into a van about 27" high. The ramp was sufficiently strong for my mom in her wheelchair (about 200lbs total). Likes: good price, carrying handles, reasonable weight, reasonably easy to collapse and expand (see below) Dislikes: 1) Going up the ramp, it gets narrower to the point that it is hard to get the front and back wheels in ramp channel. 2) The ramps are perforated aluminum with no grip. They were fine in dry conditions, but I would not want to use them in the rain. 3) There are three sections and two clips on each side of each ramp. The upper clip holds the upper section to the middle section, but there is nothing to keep the lower segment from collapsing into the middle section except friction. While the ramps didn't go anywhere when using them, it was awkward to move a fully extended ramp as the bottom section would slide in and out.

I did a TON of research to find the right ramp for my clients mother and I landed on these because she has a nice stone staircase , stone walkway and the rise and run of the stairs required the most stability . Most of the ramps on amazon where limited by the recommended height which was around 8-12” for the cheaper models and I almost went with the 2-way foldable ones that have a carrying case because they were lightweight and came with a carrying case but every reviewer said they needed to add a piece of wood in the middle where the folding joint was and that was not a good thing to have to make my client put a piece of wood under the middle every time she wanted to install the ramp . In the end after all the reviews I read , this model and 1 other one that only folded one way making it 7’ long and difficult to carry , were the only really strong transportable options . I went with this model cause it’s only 4’ long (collapsed) and very light weight (only about 10lbs per side) and because there’s no folding joint in the middle it’s very sturdy even when fully expanded to 8’ . In my pictures you can kind of see the small amount of flex when my 200lb body is standing in the middle of 1 ramp, it flexes maybe 1-2” but that’s just 1 ramp holding all my weight so that would equal to a 400lb load spread over both ramps . The 8’ span of this model is ideal for most things , in my case it’s a 22” rise and the stairs are 24” combined projection (run). These ramps come with nice skateboard type grip tape for traction and a small piece of tacky/grip rubber under each lip (top and bottom ) to protect the stone surface from the aluminum and keep the ramps from slipping , and it seems to be a good hold although I recommend checking the placement and spacing of the ramps before each use since they are movable . I don’t yet know how long they will last or how they will hold up to the rain since I just got them but they seem very well made and the cost is very reasonable .

Upon receiving, I opened and set up the ramps to test them. They are a little challenging to set up one person alone. It is much easier if you have a second able-bodied person to help you stretch them out and set them up. They looked flimsy, so I tested them first myself. The ramps bended and flexed a lot. As I looked at the way the pieces connect - I didn't think it seemed very secure, but it did work on my test run and I'm not an engineer, so I figured if they are selling it - they must be safe. WRONG!!!!!! Upon the 4th use of wheeling my Dad up - one of the ramps instantly snapped with no warning at the connection point. As I suspected, the connections between the pieces are not secure or reliable. This is VERY, VERY dangerous - these ought to be removed from sale. I would warn you about getting your hands pinched during set up, etc, but the danger of your loved one crashing to the ground is far greater. BEWARE OF THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!! Could be deadly if your loved one falls and hits their head! I was happy to have found a ramp that can be compactly stored away, however it is at the sacrifice of safety. I guess I will have to find a larger ramp that is less compact, but is sturdy and safe. BEWARE PLEASE FOR YOUR LOVED ONE'S SAFETY!!!!! Oh and for reference, my father weighs 180 pounds and we used a very lightweight transport chair, so he was well below the weight limit for this item.

Excellent wheelchair ramp- versatile and great for facilitating easy movement over steps
