Altus Folding Aluminium Wheelchair Ramp | NDIS Portable Access Aid

Overcome physical barriers and reclaim your freedom with the Altus Aluminium Folding Wheelchair Ramp. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this portable access solution is designed to support NDIS participants living with reduced mobility who rely on wheelchairs, scooters, or walkers to navigate their environment.

Steps, kerbs, and raised door thresholds can instantly block community access or make entering a home unsafe. This high-strength aluminium ramp bridges that gap effortlessly. Engineered to support up to 270kg, it features a high-traction sandpaper surface and reflective safety strips, ensuring secure passage even in low-light or damp conditions. The suitcase-style folding design makes it easy for carers to deploy at a moment's notice or store in a vehicle boot, ensuring accessibility is always available wherever you go.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Facilitating Community Access: Removes the barrier of steps at shops, friends' homes, or public buildings, allowing the participant to engage fully in social and economic life.

• Improving Home Safety: Eliminates trip hazards at doorways and provides a smooth transition for mobility aids, reducing the risk of falls or tipping incidents.

• Reducing Caregiver Strain: Allows carers to wheel participants over obstacles rather than lifting the wheelchair or scooter, significantly lowering the risk of back injury.

• Promoting Independence: Enables power wheelchair and scooter users to enter and exit environments without needing assistance to lift their equipment.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Strength Aluminium: Constructed from corrosion-resistant material that is lightweight for transport yet robust enough to support 270kg (approx. 600lbs).

• Anti-Slip Traction: The walking surface is covered in industrial-grade sandpaper grip, preventing wheels or feet from slipping, even in wet weather.

• Portable "Suitcase" Design: Folds in half lengthwise with an integrated handle, making it compact enough to store in a car or hallway cupboard.

• Safety Visibility: Equipped with reflective stickers on the side rails to guide users safely in dim lighting conditions.

• Secure Placement: Features double non-skid ends and transition plates to ensure the ramp grips the ground firmly and doesn't shift during use.
