Best-selling portable wheelchair ramp. Folds in half for easy transport. ADA-compliant for wheelchairs and scooters.
The EZ-Access 6-foot Suitcase Ramp is the most popular portable ramp in the category — finding the right balance between length (enough to handle most single-step entries), weight (17 lbs, light enough for one person to carry and set up), and capacity (800 lbs, sufficient for scooters and wheelchairs with occupants).
The bi-fold design and carrying handle make it genuinely portable: it fits in most car trunks and can be set up in under 30 seconds without tools. The aluminum construction won't rust, and the non-slip surface remains effective when wet.
The 6-foot length accommodates rises up to approximately 6 inches at the recommended 1:12 ADA slope. For entry steps between 5–7 inches, the 6-foot ramp is usually the right length. For higher entries (7+ inches), consider the 8-foot version. For very small thresholds under 3 inches, a smaller threshold ramp is more practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What slope should a wheelchair ramp be?
ADA guidelines recommend a maximum 1:12 slope — one inch of rise per 12 inches (1 foot) of ramp length. For example, a 6-inch entry step needs a minimum 6-foot ramp. Gentler slopes are always safer but require more space.
Do wheelchair ramps require permits?
Permanent attached ramps typically require a building permit. Freestanding modular aluminum ramps generally do not. Portable folding ramps never require permits. Requirements vary by municipality — check with your local building department.
How much weight can a wheelchair ramp support?
Portable aluminum ramps typically support 600–800 lbs. Modular systems and professionally built permanent ramps support 800 lbs or more. Always verify the specific ramp's weight rating before use.
