Description
Not everywhere we go is accessible which is no surprise. Our first portable ramp was a four-foot ramp. Before we had our AmRamp at our front door, we used this ramp to get onto our small porch from front door. We used a set of car ramps to traverse the steps. Not a perfect solution, but it worked.
We used this ramp when went places. It was perfect for one or two steps. For example, we had this ramp with us when we were at Kristyna’s wedding in Iowa. The reception venue was almost accessible. There was one step required to enter the building. It was a good thing we had the ramp.
We purchased the six-foot ramp to help us get into houses with up to four steps. This included both of our children’s houses here in town.
The portable ramps were a lifesaver when accessibility is an issue.
One unique use of our ramp was to keep me from sinking into the ground at an outdoor concert. The ramp was an ideal surface to make sure I didn’t get stuck.
We purchased both ramps from Amazon.
