Wheelchair ramps are among the most versatile pieces of mobility equipment on the market, and choosing the right one for you can be intimidating and confusing. We review which type of handicap ramp from a particular manufacturer we recommend and why it is a good fit in particular situations. Keep in that these are our recommendations on handicap ramps we prefer, and that you should follow the suggestions of an evaluator. The list of wheelchair ramps we recommend are:
