Inexpensive Wheelchair Ramp
There's no need to have complicated and pricey hydraulics to load wheelchairs into vans, say developers of this new lightweight foldup ramp.An electric winch, plugged into a cigarette lighter, provides the lifting power. The winch mounts just inside the side or rear door and a pulley mounts near the top of the door. Cable feeds out through the pulley to the hinge joint in the two-piece aluminum ramp. Simply flipping a switch folds the ramp up into a folded vertical position just inside the door and then folds it out automatically into ramp position.
Sells for just $640 (Canadian). Can be, easily moved from van to van. The manufacturer also makes powered porch and stair lifts.
