The trough ramp offers an excellent balance between a very low weight and a high load capacity. Robust and easy to handle, these ramps are fabricated from an extruded profile which is cut to length and angled as required.
With an internal width of 150mm and an overall width of 235mm, these ramps are ideal for wheelchairs even those with offset axles. Their profile allows them to be stacked one inside the other for ease of storage and the 45mm high safety curbs on each side prevent any lateral slippage.
They have a non-slip surface which makes them ideal for moving wheelchairs and their occupants into and out of cars or vans.
The RAS-F is a foldable ramp which means it can be stored and transported with the vehicle.
Alternatively the RAS-W can be permanently installed inside the vehicle. The ramps pivoting and sliding mechanism uses bearings for ease of use. During transportation, the ramps are held in a vertical position by the safety straps supplied. If required, the ramp surface can easily be renewed with an non-slip adhesive.
Each pair of RAS-W ramps is supplied with a mounting kit which consists of :
- 1 steel axle (length 1800mm)
- 1 installation kit to fix the steel axle to the floor of the vehicle
- 2 safety straps to hold the ramps in the vertical position
