Portable Ramp

Portable Ramp - open-source assistive technology prototype by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

Many homes and buildings have a single step at entrances, making access difficult for electric wheelchair users. This ramp provides a simple and effective solution for smoother mobility.

Who it helps

This ramp is specifically designed for individuals who use electric wheelchairs and need assistance navigating a single step of up to 12 cm in height.

How it works

The ramp features a 15-degree incline, ensuring a stable and manageable slope for electric wheelchair users. It is placed securely against the step, allowing easy and safe movement up and down.

The Portable Ramp is a lightweight, durable wooden ramp designed to assist individuals using electric wheelchairs in overcoming a single step.
