I bought a similar roll up ramp ( http://www.spinlife.com/E-Z-Access-ROLL-UP-SCOOTER-&-WHEELCHAIR-RAMP;-3'-Roll-Up-Ramp/spec.cfm?productID=641 ) to carry in the back of my van for use at inaccessible stores and such. I found it to be heavy and awkard to set up not to mention expensive as well as taking up a fair chunk of trunk space. I since bought a piece of 28"x4' 5/8" plywood that lies on the floor of my van taking up no space. It is much lighter than the aluminum ramps, has no set-up time and cost $10.

The old thread ust talked about the portable one. How about the mounted one. If I read the price right [I am going to call] it is around $2700 that sounds good. But is it as good as it looks?

Hello,

I work for the company, and i also use one myself. the thing about it is you can roll it up for transport or storage, and it is strong aircraft-quality aluminum. when i take mine down i use the quick release pins so i can separate it shorter. you can also just add to it if you need it longer instead of having to buy another ramp. after i had mine, i went to work for the company, and we get the same response everywhere, people love it.

I might be biased because I work for the company, but we've put a couple in people's vans here that I could give you their phone numbers. They would be happy to talk with you about it. One is a child who is growing up with it and another who has CP. Both have it installed in full size vans. It's nice because there are no vehicle modifications so you can use the van you have. Saves a lot of money.

regards,

greg
