Wheelchair Ramps | Green Hills TN

Home / Wheelchair Ramps | Green Hills TN

A wheelchair ramp can be a great way to give your loved one mobility freedom and independence. They are beneficial for rolling walker, wheelchair, and mobility scooter users, or anyone looking for an additional mobility aid.

Materials

When deciding which type is right for you, it’s important to consider material options and the benefits and downsides of each. Here are some differences between the aluminum and wood variety. 

Aluminum has a key upside. It is very durable. You won’t have to worry about aluminum rusting. They are quick and easy to install, and don’t require using concrete or acquiring a building permit. They typically take around 1-2 hours to install. They are also easy to move or expand and adjust as needed in the future. Required maintenance is minimal, they only need to be cleaned and cleared of outdoor buildup like snow or leaves. If you no longer require one in the future or decide to get a new one, they have a great resale value.

Wood requires more upkeep than aluminum. They should be thoroughly cleaned and resealed to avoid rot and decay. Even with excellent maintenance the wood will warp over time and will need replacement. Because they are installed permanently, they require a building permit. A wood ramp installation takes more labor than an aluminum one and with the rising cost of wood and regular maintenance, it may not be as cost effective as aluminum. Because it is a permanent structure, it cannot be relocated and has no resale value. It may also be an undesirable cost for a future homeowner who must pay to have it removed. 

Other Wheelchair Ramp Considerations 

Picking a wheelchair ramp doesn’t only mean choosing between an aluminum or wood variety, there are varying features that can make mobility even easier. Here are a few things to consider. 

Slope Safety- The ADA recommends a 1:12 slope ratio. What this means is that for every 1” of vertical rise, there must be at least 1’ or 12” of length. This is the appropriate ratio for someone who is propelling themselves in a wheelchair and for commercial use. If you are pushing someone in a wheelchair you need to consider your strength and the weight of the individual being pushed. If you are in a mobility scooter, then you can usually do half of what the slope is. Check in your mobility scooters owner’s manual as they will put in the maximum slope the scooter can handle. If there is ever any doubt always use the ADA guidelines.

Length

According to the American Disability Act there should be a foot for every inch of rise. However, for those not propelling themselves you may be able to decrease the overall length.

Railing

You may also want to consider if you have a need for railing. A railing is great for someone who isn’t already using a mobility aid.

Weight Capacity

With each type there is a different weight capacity. This will likely range between 800lbs and 1000lbs. 

Cost

As noted before, aluminum is more cost effective than wood. Pricing is also based on the length and additional needs such as a platform. For a complete and accurate estimate an assessment may be needed. 

Installation

Installation times vary based on material, type, and location; however, All-Star Medical will typically install within a week of assessment.
