AMW Telescopic Ramps
The AMW Telescopic Ramps provide a portable pair of aluminium channel ramps for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Each ramp uses a two-section telescopic design that extends from 91 cm (3 ft) to 183 cm (6 ft), allowing the length to be adjusted for different access situations.
The pair supports up to 300 kg and weighs approximately 12 kg. Each ramp is 27 cm wide and has an anti-slip textured surface plus stainless-steel flip locks to secure the selected length.
Telescopic Ramps or Tri-Fold Ramp?
Choose the AMW Telescopic Ramps when you want two separate wheel channels that adjust in length and collapse compactly for storage. Choose the AMW Tri-Fold Ramp when a full-width platform is preferable; it is available in 183 cm (6 ft) and 244 cm (8 ft) lengths but is heavier and less adjustable.
Key Features
- 91–183 cm adjustable length per ramp.
- Two-section telescopic design for compact storage.
- 300 kg maximum load capacity per pair.
- 12 kg approximate pair weight.
- 27 cm width per ramp.
- Lightweight aluminium construction.
- Anti-slip textured surface for improved traction.
- Stainless-steel flip locks secure the chosen length.
- Suitable for wheelchairs and mobility scooters when correctly positioned and used within the published capacity.
- Optional carry/storage bag compatibility.
Why Choose AMW Telescopic Ramps?
Telescopic channel ramps are useful when a full-width folding ramp would be less convenient to transport or store. The adjustable 91–183 cm (3–6 ft) length lets the pair be configured for different access points while retaining a compact collapsed size.
Measure the Rise Before Choosing a Ramp
Telescopic Ramps 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 length do the ramps adjust to?
Each ramp adjusts from approximately 91 cm (3 ft) to 183 cm (6 ft).
What is the maximum load capacity?
The maximum published load capacity is 300 kg per pair.
How much do the ramps weigh?
The pair weighs approximately 12 kg.
How wide is each ramp?
Each individual channel ramp is approximately 27 cm wide.
How do these differ from the AMW Tri-Fold Ramp?
The telescopic ramps are two separate adjustable channels and pack down smaller. The Tri-Fold Ramp gives a full-width surface and is available in fixed 183 cm (6 ft) and 244 cm (8 ft) lengths.
What are the ramps made from?
They are made from lightweight aluminium.
How is the selected length secured?
Stainless-steel flip locks secure the telescopic sections at the chosen length.
Do the ramps have a non-slip surface?
Yes. They have an anti-slip textured surface designed to improve traction.
Can they be used with a mobility scooter?
Yes, they are designed for compatible wheelchairs and mobility scooters, provided the total load is within 300 kg and the wheel track fits securely on the two channels.
Can they be used with a wheelchair?
Yes. The two separate channels can be positioned to suit a compatible wheelchair wheel track.
Are they suitable for travel?
Yes. The telescopic sections collapse to 91 cm, making them easier to store and transport than fixed-length 183 cm (6 ft) ramps.
Is a carry bag included?
A carry/storage bag is an optional compatible accessory; it should not be assumed to be included unless shown with the selected purchase.
How should I choose a safe ramp length?
The correct ramp length depends on the rise, available landing space and mobility device. Avoid using a ramp at an excessively steep angle and follow the mobility device and ramp safety instructions.
Are the AMW Telescopic Ramps available for delivery across New Zealand?
Yes. These ramps are available for delivery throughout New Zealand.
