Pride Mobility Rubber Threshold Ramp

Pride Mobility Rubber Threshold Ramp

The Pride Mobility Rubber Threshold Ramp is a modular recycled-rubber access ramp for small thresholds, low steps and changes in floor level. Its interlocking sections create a broad rolling surface for compatible wheelchairs, powerchairs, mobility scooters and other suitable wheeled equipment.

Key Features

• 385.5 kg (850 lb) maximum load.
• High-impact recycled rubber construction.
• 91.4 cm usable width.
• Hidden dovetail interlocking system.
• Current MoveSmart rise options from 2.5 cm (1 inch) to 10.16 cm (4 inches).
• Half-inch incremental rise options.
• Maximum recommended incline approximately 4° (7%).
• Suitable for appropriate indoor and outdoor locations.
• Textured slip-resistant surface.
• Can be trimmed or notched where an appropriate custom fit is required.
• Maintenance-free rubber construction.

Modular system note: higher ramp configurations use the lower-height sections together. For example, a 2.5-inch rise uses the 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5-inch sections as the designed interlocking system.

Measure the Rise Before Choosing a Ramp

Pride Mobility Rubber Threshold Ramp needs to be long enough for the vertical rise and the mobility device using it. A longer ramp produces a gentler approach, which is generally easier to manage than a short, steep setup. Measure the full rise, available landing space and doorway clearance, then consider the wheelchair or scooter wheelbase and any low under-frame components.

The supporting surfaces must be firm, level and able to hold the ramp securely at both ends. Check the published load rating against the combined weight of the user and mobility device, and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for gradient and assisted use. Practise on a controlled setup before relying on the ramp for regular access.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rise options does MoveSmart currently offer?

2.5 cm (1 inch), 3.8 cm (1.5 inch), 5.1 cm (2 inch), 6.4 cm (2.5 inch), 7.6 cm (3 inch), 8.89 cm (3.5 inch) and 10.16 cm (4 inch).

How wide is the usable ramp surface?

Approximately 91.4 cm (36 inches).

What is the maximum load?

The maximum load is 385.5 kg or 850 lb, including the mobility device and occupant.

What is the maximum recommended incline?

Pride specifies a maximum incline of approximately 4 degrees or 7 percent for this threshold-ramp system.

Can it be used with a wheelchair?

Yes, where the chosen rise, slope and clearances are appropriate for the wheelchair and user.

Can it be used with a mobility scooter or powerchair?

Yes, provided the device manufacturer permits the resulting incline and the combined load stays within the ramp rating.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. The recycled-rubber construction is intended for suitable indoor or outdoor installations.

Is the surface completely slip-proof when wet?

No surface should be assumed completely slip-proof. Keep the ramp clean and take additional care when it is wet, contaminated or icy.

Do the higher sections work by themselves?

The ramp is a modular interlocking system. Higher rises are created using the appropriate preceding sections together, so confirm which components are required for the intended height.

Can the ramp be cut to fit a doorway?

Yes. Pride specifies that the rubber can be trimmed or notched for an appropriate custom fit.

Does it require routine maintenance?

The rubber ramp itself is described as maintenance-free, but it should still be kept clean and checked for movement, damage or obstruction.

Should the ramp be secured against movement?

The setup must remain stable during use. Follow the Pride instructions for initial setup and positioning, particularly where the threshold surface is unusual.

Is a specification sheet available?

Yes. The existing Pride Rubber Threshold Ramps specification sheet is linked above.

Is the Pride Rubber Threshold Ramp available for delivery across New Zealand?

Yes. The available ramp sizes are available for delivery throughout New Zealand.
