When it comes to improving accessibility at your home or business, choosing the right ramp is essential. Whether you need a solution for wheelchair users, aging pets, or loading equipment, EZ-ACCESS® offers both portable and semi-permanent ramp options to fit your specific needs. But which one is right for you? Let’s break down the key differences and benefits of each type to help you make the best choice.
Portable Ramps: Convenience & Versatility

Versatile Use: Great for vehicles, doorways, curbs, and temporary event setups.
-
Affordable Solution: Typically lower in cost than permanent ramps, making them a budget-friendly option.
Best For:

Semi-Permanent Ramps: Stability & Long-Term Accessibility
For those who require a long-term, durable solution, permanent ramps offer unmatched reliability and safety. These ramps are designed to be installed in one place, providing seamless accessibility for homes, businesses, and public spaces.

Making the Right Choice
Deciding between a portable and semi-permanent ramp depends on your unique accessibility needs. If you need flexibility, a portable ramp may be the best fit. If you require long-term stability, a semi-permanent ramp will provide lasting accessibility and peace of mind.
