Safety Precautions

When choosing a ramp, the length, and therefore
the angle of the ramp depend upon:
·
The height to be raised
·
The type of wheelchair or scooter
·
The weight of the wheelchair or scooter
and the user
·
The strength of the helper or user.
As a general guide, a raise of 1 in 12 is suggested
when the user is seated on the wheelchair or
scooter.
For loading an unmanned wheelchair or scooter
into a vehicle, a higher gradient can be used, but
this should not exceed 1 in 3. In addition to this, it
is important that you refer to your vehicle's user
guide for the proper degree of incline/decline and
direction before using the ramp.
- Never exceed its recommendations.
·
Only carry the ramp using the carry
handles. Take care when lifting; follow
standard manual handling procedures.
·
Take particular care when using the ramp
in wet/damp conditions.
