Roll-A-Ramp 36" Wide Portable Ramp System

Wide-format modular ramp system designed for maximum stability, clearance, and support for wheelchairs, power chairs, and mobility scooters.

The Roll-A-Ramp 36" Wide System is the largest standard width in the Roll-A-Ramp lineup, built for users who need additional space, improved control, and a more forgiving ramp surface. It is commonly selected for power chairs, bariatric use, and caregiver-assisted mobility where positioning and stability are critical.

System Positioning: Where the 36" Width Fits

This version is designed for situations where standard-width ramps feel restrictive or unsafe.

• 26" width: Tight spaces and compact setups
• 30" width: Balanced general-use option
• 36" width: Maximum clearance and control

The 36" system prioritizes usability and safety over portability.

Why Choose a 36" Wide Ramp

Wider ramps change how the ramp feels during use.

• More lateral space for positioning mobility devices
• Greater margin for error when entering and exiting
• Easier caregiver-assisted navigation
• Improved comfort for larger wheelchairs and scooters

This is especially noticeable with power chairs, which require more precise control and space.

Modular Design and Flexibility

The Roll-A-Ramp system is built around sectional components, allowing for adaptable configurations.

• Ramp sections connect to create custom lengths
• Can be expanded or reduced over time
• Breaks down into transportable components
• Can be relocated as needs change

This flexibility makes it suitable for both temporary and long-term use.

Handrail Options (Optional Configuration)

This system can be configured with multiple rail options depending on the level of support required.

• No rails: Open access, maximum flexibility
• Two-line rails: Basic balance support
• Picket rails: Full containment and fall protection

With wider ramps, handrails often become more important, especially for:

• Longer ramp lengths
• Caregiver-assisted use
• Users with limited balance

In many cases, the 36" system is paired with handrails to create a more complete safety solution.

Performance and Capacity

• High-strength aluminum construction
• Slip-resistant surface for traction
• Supports wheelchairs, power chairs, and scooters
• Stable under load when properly assembled

The added width contributes to overall stability and user confidence during operation.

Where This System Works Best

• Home entry and primary access points
• Bariatric or heavy mobility equipment use
• Caregiver-assisted mobility setups
• Situations where safety margin is a priority

This configuration is often selected when reliability and ease of use outweigh portability concerns.

Ramp Length and Safety Considerations

Width improves control, but slope still determines safety.

A longer ramp reduces incline, making it easier to use and safer—especially when combined with wider surfaces and handrails.

Key principle: Combine width and length for maximum usability.

Installation and Setup

• No permanent installation required
• Sections connect to form ramp length
• Can be disassembled and relocated
• Handrails attach as part of system configuration

While portable, this system is typically used in semi-permanent setups due to its size.

Important Considerations Before Purchase

• Requires more space than narrower systems
• Heavier and more involved to assemble
• Not ideal for frequent transport
• Best suited for fixed or semi-permanent use

This is a performance-first system, not a compact solution.

Who This Ramp System Is Best For

• Power chair and bariatric users
• Caregivers assisting mobility daily
• Users who want maximum stability and space
• Homes where safety margin is a priority

If space allows, this is often the most forgiving and easiest system to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 36" too wide for most homes?

It depends on available space. It requires more clearance than narrower ramps, so measurements should be confirmed before purchase.

Who benefits most from a 36" ramp?

Users with power chairs, bariatric needs, or caregiver assistance benefit most from the additional width and stability.

Do I need handrails with this system?

While not required, they are often recommended—especially for longer ramps or higher-risk situations. They significantly improve control and safety.

Is this better than a folding ramp?

For long spans and daily use, yes. Folding ramps are better for short-term or quick access, while modular systems provide more flexibility and stability.

Can this ramp be used long-term?

Yes. It is commonly used as a semi-permanent solution where consistent access is needed without a permanent installation.
