Are the top and bottom edges tapered? If not, how thick is the 'hump' that must be crossed with a wheelchair to enter the ramp?

The legs on the top adjusts to be level with the top of the ramp and the step and the bottom edge is tapered to meet the floor. Hope this helps you. My mom finds it easy to use her wheelchair or use her walker to go up and down the ramp

There is a 3/4 inch gap between the right and left ramp. There are 3 attachment hinges, each about 2 1/2 inches long. The middle hinge is flush but the other two stick up above the ramps about 3/8 inch. I would think that pneumatic tires would traverse the protruding hinges easily.

The front and real edges are about 1 3/4 thick the shelve is not and is fairly thin. Couldn't measure it's thickness without taking the whole thing apart. The unit looks and feels like quality and i like it.

Yes, the ends have a taper and corners aren't sharp . My wife only has use of her left side, and she occasionally uses this to transfer from wheel chair to an easy chair.

The rear wheels are 25" and are not lined up with the front wheels, so be careful when buying ramps that are not wide enough or split in two.

The edge on both sides is slightly rounded. Edges are not squared off. The flat part is about 5/16 th thick. Very narrow.

The parts (two each) are attached to the ends of a 12 x 2 which allows you to make the ramps any length you need/want. Wood will get slippery when wet.

the ends of the board are tapered and corners are somewhat beveled which it easy to slide under a person's buttox.I use it daily on my husband who has ALS, to transfer him from his bed to his power chair. It has been a big help!Glad I bought it!

They are quite wide for small wheels. I had to install some diamond plate to prevent the wheels falling through on my dads Hoverround. The gap is 4 inches and this is just on the ramp. The platform has gaps only in the center.

I believe that this chair requires a min. 25" width clearance. So obviously someone could push the wheelchair thru a 26" wide door or use your feet (if possible) to 'walk' thru, however self propelling by using the back wheels would be difficult - not a lot of extra elbow room/most likely scraped fingers.

I agree with Michael, there is no lip or tapered edge...it is just a very sturdy and strong chair mat, had mine for several months and still looks new!!! Best for money I believe....I don't think you can find one better!

I bought this ramp for wheeling my 250lb mother in law in and out. The lip that rests on the step is about 2-1/2" long and angled steeper than the ramp so the lip actually dig in as weight is applied onto the ramp. Slipping is not an issue. We love the ramp. My little wife uses it alone to transport mom. I highly recommend this product. We live in Alaska, and carry it out of broom closet when needed.

ADA. Standard is 1 foot ramp length for Each Inch of rise.For safety that would be an 8 ft length of ramp for your threshold. It also depends if it will be bolted as to how secure. Also whether person is in wheelchair or a walker. I bought a different one for walking on and found that even tho right incline length it was too wobbly and bent too much.Portable ramps are not known for being fully stable.

Yes. The metal top come off. It has little clips that hold it in place. Getting under The ramp and ledge are the only difficult parts but not too bad.

It was a great ramp, sturdy, I gave it to a friend as she needed one for her small dog. I think it has a 2 inch, maybe a little higher step. Call the company that makes it maybe??

It's about 3/4 of an inch thick and is beveled on the ends. I use it to transfer from wheelchair to car. It very durable and helpful.

It's a little wide at the wheels. If you're taking it through a standard doorway you'll have to angle to get it through. They probably have it designed that way so it won't tip over. Otherwise it's a great product.
