Tri-Fold Ramp

AMW Tri-Fold Ramp

The AMW Tri-Fold Ramp is a portable aluminium access ramp for compatible wheelchairs, power chairs and mobility scooters. Its two-piece tri-fold construction allows the full-width ramp to fold down for transport and storage, while carry handles and locking pins help with handling and setup.

MoveSmart carries 6 ft and 8 ft variants. The ramp has a non-slip grip surface and a published maximum load capacity of 270 kg. The current 6 ft specification is approximately 183 cm long when open and 92 cm long when folded.

Tri-Fold Ramp or Telescopic Ramps?

Choose the AMW Tri-Fold Ramp when you prefer a full-width rolling surface and want the choice of 6 ft or 8 ft lengths. Choose the AMW Telescopic Ramps when you want two separate wheel channels that adjust from 3–6 ft and collapse more compactly for storage.

Why Choose the AMW Tri-Fold Ramp?

The tri-fold format provides a full-width travel path while packing down more compactly than a fixed ramp of the same nominal length. With two length options, a high load rating and portable aluminium construction, it is a flexible choice for temporary access at homes, vehicles and other suitable locations.

Measure the Rise Before Choosing a Ramp

Tri-Fold 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 length options are available?

MoveSmart carries 6 ft and 8 ft variants.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The published maximum load capacity is 270 kg.

How does this differ from the AMW Telescopic Ramps?

The Tri-Fold provides a full-width platform in fixed 6 ft or 8 ft lengths. The telescopic ramps are two separate wheel channels that adjust from 3–6 ft and pack down smaller.

What is the ramp made from?

The ramp is constructed from aluminium.

How does the ramp fold?

It uses a two-piece tri-fold design that folds into a more compact package for storage and transport.

What are the dimensions of the 6 ft version?

The current 6 ft specification is approximately 183 cm long when open and 92 cm long when folded.

How wide is the 6 ft version?

The 6 ft ramp is approximately 76 cm wide when open and 38 cm wide when folded.

How much does the 6 ft ramp weigh?

The current 6 ft specification is approximately 16 kg for the ramp pair.

Does it have an anti-slip surface?

Yes. The ramp has a non-slip grip surface designed to improve traction.

Are carry handles included?

Yes. Carry handles and locking pins are part of the portable design.

Can it be used with a mobility scooter?

Yes, for compatible scooters where the total load is within the ramp rating and the ramp can be positioned securely at an appropriate slope.

Can it be used with a wheelchair or power chair?

Yes. It is designed for compatible wheelchairs and mobility chairs as well as scooters.

How do I choose between 6 ft and 8 ft?

The appropriate length depends on the vertical rise, available landing space and mobility device. A longer ramp generally allows a gentler slope for the same rise, but always follow the ramp and mobility-device safety guidance.

Is the AMW Tri-Fold Ramp available for delivery across New Zealand?

Yes. Both current ramp lengths are available for delivery throughout New Zealand.
