Has anyone used this over steps? None of the reviews say anything about steps... anyone out there have experience with steps and this ramp?

I placed this ramp over the 4 steps into our den and it worked fine. It went from linoleum down to carpet and didn't slip. The dogs had no problem with it.

This will not work on a 5" step. It will adjust up about 2". I gave mine away and spent the extra money on this ramp. I found it adjusts up to 7" and works well for my daughters wheelchair. The other is so short that the angle is steep.Adjustable Utility Threshold Rampby Rage Powersports See the Amazon Page for this brand4.3 out of 5 stars See all reviews (3 customer reviews)List Price: $184.99Price: $169.99 ($0.76 / oz)

Patti, I was not impressed in the least with this ramp and ended up sending back to Amazon. We have an Australian Shepherd and he slipped and slided all over the place when we tried to teach him to use the ramp. And it is very steep. I cannot recommend it.

Depending on how high your bed maybe. This ramp may not be stable enough putting it on the bed. The steeper the ramp angle the more difficult it will be for your dog. My 12 yr old dog can just make it up the ramp into my SUV. However, the ramp does help. I use it for the front steps outside my house. I hope this helps you. Remember there is a learning curve for your dog using the ramp. Good luck!

Good Morning-Yes this ramp should work very well for you. The size that you would need will depend on how high the rise is. I would like to go over a few things with before you choose which size ramp you want to order. Please contact us at 847-680-7700 M-F 7 AM to 5 PM.Thank you so much and have a great day.Kim

I don't know if that would work because the ramp plastic is fairly deep. I think it would be hard to "hook" the ramp onto the stairs.

I don't have an answer for you but I'm looking for the same thing! I have a 10 yo 3 legged mini schnauzer and I have a very high bed as well. I'm wondering if you tried this ramp or if you found 1 that does work?

I have one more suggestion concerning this ramp that I did forget about. It does have a rough surface that they walk on but our dog didn't like it so we purchased 3 rubber mats like a door mat and just place them on the ramp, and now he has no problem walking on the ramp. Like your dog, when Budley gets excited and wants to jump or whatever, he too does go down (old age), but we still like the ramp and it seems to make it so much easier on him. Good luck with yours and thank you also for responding.

I have the same problem. I've adjust every way I can think of but the steps only go up and down a couple of inches. I hope someone comes up with a solution.

No, the step itself is very stable once you set it up & put it in place. There will be some noise from the impact of your stepping up & down, also if you are doing any jumping on top of it, but in my opinion that is to be expected. I hope that helped to answer your question.

I'm not sure this is the buy for you. My dog is only 9lb and I had to rebuild the steps! They are too narrow and too flimsy for a big dog! Try the ramp instead.

I believe the rule for steps is 1 foot of ramp for every 2 inches of height. But many push it to 3 inches due to space. I use a 6 foot ramp for the back of our minivan. Its a little steep for the power chair but it works. The 8 foot is just too long to store in the van.

I've never tried this, but I imagine if the steps were a fairly shallow rise and just a few of them at a time, you could go over them. If the steps are steep you may have trouble going over them w/o dumping your payload. The cart is definitely built well and durable enough to handle a few steps.

i was worried about that too, because my bed actually measures 30 inches, but take into account that the other inches are just like another step. I bought a ramp for my sofa and they do fine, then I bought this for the bed. My yorkies actually like it in step form better than the ramp form. They use it all the time and love it.

I just got this stepper and I do wish it were higher. Did you ever find more risers? I tried putting all 4 on one side and then put books under the other side, which worked well enough but kind of lame.

Wouldn't recommend stair stepping this unit. However you could to a pyramid style of stacking! Great unit, not as large as image portrays. But the dimensions are right on the money!

I bought one a year ago for my front door which is 6 inches from floor to top. I loved It is heavy but you can still fold it and carry it like a suitcase...great to bring on vacation.The second one I bought for the back door as I was so pleased with the first purchase and that height is more like 7 inches. I don't see where 7 3/4" would present a problem...your slope will be just a little steeper but certainly not dangerous. ( I have two children in chairs and they manipulate down these ramps and up with no issues whatsoever.) There is a 3 inch wide lip ( for lack of better word) that fits on your flat threshold. The ramp is heavy enough that I've never had is slide off. If you do a routine safety check to make sure no one has kicked it or moved it then you should be fine. Hope this helps. This was a gamble for me after researching permanent ramps ( too costly and poor house resale value) and I have been very pleased with the product.
