Ruedamann 6FT Adjustable Aluminum Wheelchair Ramp, Usable Width 6.7", 600lbs Capacity,Portable Telescoping Non-Skid Surface Wheelchair Ramp for Home, Stairs, Steps

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.

These ramps are lifesavers for getting a manual wheelchair into and out of our van. Our son’s new chair was too bulky and heavy to lift without a struggle even when folded down. With these handy ramps, the process is quicker and safer for our backs and the chair. The ramps are easily adjustable and can be locked to the length you need. Sliding back to their shortest length, they fit easily into the back of the van and take up much less room than a larger one-piece, wide ramp. Also, the two-piece, narrow track design allows us to move between the two ramps as we move the chair up and down into and out of the van. So much easier than a single piece ramp where you’d have to stand off to the side to use it. Finally, the handles make moving the ramps a breeze. Highly recommend!

Clips make an easy release to slide, but don't always hold securely when closed. Side handles are nice for transport.

These work very well. They are relatively light weight and easy to move and set up. We use them to get the wheelchair up the one step into the house from the garage. Then move it to get up another step from one room to another. The only time that didn't work well was to try to get the wheelchair from the garage garage floor onto a platform to get me into the van. I had to get out of the chair and hop on one foot to get onto the platform then into the van. Other than that, the rails worked well for a short term post surgery solution.

Both ramps arrived damaged. A pin used to keep the ramp from over-closing was jammed under the rail, bending it and securely holding the internal nested ramp from sliding out. Both ramps were damaged in the same way, possibly from dropping or being pressed down upon by a heavier piece of cargo in transit. See photo. Result: The ramps will not extend, and I've been unable to repair them. Help Ruedamann! Update: Amazon offered a replacement and return for the damaged ramps. Ruedamann Ramps contacted me and was very kind and supportive in getting the replacement ramps. Nice customer service!
