Aerolight Xtra Portable Folding Ramp – Lightweight Aluminium Access Solution The Aerolight Xtra portable folding ramp delivers practical, lightweight access across thresholds, kerbs, steps, and into vehicles. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, this British-designed ramp combines exceptional strength with a remarkably low weight, making it one of the most versatile folding wheelchair ramps available. The single-fold design creates a full-width trackway suitable for manual wheelchairs, powerchairs, and mobility scooters of all configurations including 3, 4, 5, and 6-wheel models. Full-Width Anti-Slip Surface The Aerolight Xtra portable folding ramp features a continuous anti-slip surface spanning the entire width of the trackway. This textured grip surface maintains excellent traction in both dry and wet conditions, providing assured footing throughout the year. The contrasting colour edge strips increase visibility, particularly useful in low-light environments. A unique reflective lip feature further enhances safety during evening use or in poorly lit areas. Innovative Folding Mechanism The lengthways folding design allows the ramp to close with the grip surface protected on the inside, preserving the anti-slip coating during storage and transport. A secure clip mechanism holds the folded ramp together, while the integrated blue carry handle provides comfortable grip for single-handed carrying. When folded, all lengths measure just 39cm wide and 8cm deep, creating a compact package that stores easily in cupboards, car boots, or beside doorways. Flat Hinge Design for Maximum Clearance The underside flat hinge construction provides optimal step clearance, sitting flush against surfaces without obstructing the ramp angle. This engineering detail ensures consistent contact with both the ground and the raised surface, eliminating wobble or instability during use. The tapered lip shape accommodates narrow doorways with openings as small as 71.4cm, whilst also facilitating entry from various angles rather than requiring a perfectly straight approach. Weatherproof Construction Built from corrosion-resistant aluminium, the Aerolight Xtra withstands outdoor conditions without degradation. The raised side panels provide edge protection during use, preventing wheels from slipping off the trackway. All hardware and hinges are engineered for durability, maintaining smooth operation through repeated daily use across varied environments. Key Features of the Aerolight Xtra Portable Folding Ramp Full-width aluminium construction with anti-slip grip surface Single-fold lengthways design with protective interior folding Integrated carry handle for comfortable single-handed transport Flat underside hinge for optimal step clearance Raised side panels for added edge protection Contrasting colour edge strips for increased visibility Reflective lip feature for low-light safety Tapered lip fits doorways as narrow as 71.4cm Clip-together mechanism for secure folded storage Weatherproof aluminium resists corrosion Compatible with wheelchairs, powerchairs, rollators, and scooters Seven length options from 60cm to 240cm Choosing the Correct Length Selecting the appropriate ramp length depends on the load height (the vertical distance from ground level to the raised surface). Longer ramps create gentler gradients, reducing the effort required and improving ground clearance for mobility scooters. As a general guide, manual wheelchairs require a minimum 1:6 ratio (6 inches of ramp length per inch of rise), whilst mobility scooters benefit from a 1:8 ratio due to their lower ground clearance.
