Independence shouldn't end at your front door. Whether you're visiting family, traveling for medical appointments, or simply running errands, the ability to access vehicles, buildings, and spaces on your own terms makes all the difference. That's exactly what the SUITCASE® Singlefold Ramp delivers: true mobility freedom that fits in your trunk.
Why the SUITCASE Singlefold Design Changes Everything
Traditional portable ramps either sacrifice strength for portability or become too heavy to manage alone. The Singlefold ramp solves this with aircraft-grade aluminum construction that supports up to 800 pounds while remaining light enough for most light enough for caregivers or companions to carry independently. The singlefold design with integrated handle means you can grab it with one hand, unfold it in seconds, and create instant accessibility wherever you need it.
The self-adjusting bottom transition plates accommodate different ground surfaces automatically, eliminating the setup frustration common with other portable ramps. Raised side rails prevent wheels from slipping off edges, and the slip-resistant surface with grooved traction pattern keeps users safe in wet or icy conditions.
Top Uses That Restore Daily Independence
Vehicle Access Made Simple: Getting in and out of cars, vans, and SUVs represents one of the most common challenges for wheelchair and scooter users. The SUITCASE Singelfold Ramp creates a safe pathway from ground level to vehicle floors, making doctor's appointments, grocery shopping, and social outings possible without assistance. Available in lengths from 2 to 8 feet, you can match the ramp to your specific vehicle height. Most passenger vehicles work well with 4-foot or 5-foot models, while higher SUVs and vans may need 6-foot or 8-foot options.
Visiting Friends and Family: Not every home has accessible entrances. When visiting loved ones with steps at their front door, bringing your portable folding ramp means you're never stuck outside or forced to transfer out of your mobility device. The ramp handles single steps with shorter 2-foot or 3-foot models, while porches with higher rises work perfectly with longer configurations. This transforms social visits from logistical challenges into simple, enjoyable experiences.
Medical Appointments and Errands: Medical offices, therapy centers, retail stores, and service businesses often have small steps or raised thresholds that create barriers. Your portable ramp ensures you can access these locations independently. Keep it in your vehicle, and you're prepared for any accessibility challenge you encounter during daily activities.
Travel and Vacation Freedom: Hotels claim to be accessible, but "accessible room" doesn't always mean barrier-free entrances. The Singlefold ramp travels with you, fitting easily in rental cars or your own vehicle's trunk. At just 15 inches wide when folded, it stores compactly without consuming valuable cargo space. Now you can explore new destinations confidently, knowing you have access solutions regardless of what you encounter.
Temporary Home Modifications: Life changes happen. Maybe you're recovering from surgery, a family member temporarily needs wheelchair access, or you're caring for an aging parent. The SUITCASE Singlefold Ramp provides immediate accessibility without permanent home modifications, expensive construction, or landlord approval. When the temporary need passes, simply fold it up and store it until needed again.
Outdoor Events and Recreation: Concerts, festivals, sporting events, farmers markets, and community gatherings often occur on uneven terrain or require navigating curbs and small elevation changes. Bringing a portable ramp means you can fully participate instead of being limited to wherever existing accessibility infrastructure exists. The lightweight design won't slow you down, and the durable construction handles repeated outdoor use season after season.
Rental Properties and Apartments: Renters often can't install permanent ramps, leaving them stuck with inaccessible living situations or expensive modifications they'll lose when moving. The portable Singelfold ramp provides a complete access solution that moves with you. No landlord approval needed, no security deposit at risk, and no leaving behind expensive infrastructure when your lease ends.
Real-World Advantages Over Other Portable Ramps
True One-Person Operation: Some portable ramps require two people to unfold, position, and secure. The Singlefold design allows genuine independent use. The integrated handle, manageable weight, and simple folding mechanism means your caregiver or companion can set it up quickly without requiring additional help.
No Assembly Required: The SUITCASE Singlefold Ramp is ready instantly. Unfold, position, and go. This matters during medical emergencies, bad weather, or when you're simply tired and want accessibility without hassle.
Built to Last: Aircraft-grade aluminum construction means this ramp handles real-world use. It won't bend, warp, or fail like cheaper alternatives. The 800-pound capacity isn't just for heavy power wheelchairs. It's over-engineered to provide long-term reliability even under challenging conditions. American manufacturing ensures quality control and craftsmanship that imported ramps can't match.
Works Everywhere: Textured aluminum surface provides traction in rain, snow, mud, and ice. Self-adjusting bottom transition plates handle differing ground surfaces. Raised side rails prevent roll-offs. These aren't marketing features. They're the details that make the difference between a ramp that works in perfect conditions versus one that works in the real world you actually live in.
Investment in Independence
At prices ranging from approximately $170 to $445 depending on length, the SUITCASE Singlefold Ramp costs less than one month of assistance services. Consider what you're actually paying for: the freedom to visit friends without pre-planning accessible entrances, the confidence to travel knowing you can handle unexpected barriers, the independence to run errands without depending on others' schedules, and the peace of mind that comes from controlling your own accessibility.
This isn't an expense. It's an investment in the life you want to live. An investment in maintaining relationships, pursuing hobbies, attending events, and simply doing what you want, when you want, without accessibility determining your choices.
