Reasons to consider a RANA Wheelchair Ramps
When someone is doing their research to look for a lightweight motorized wheelchair or lightweight power wheelchair sometimes the carer or partner is sometimes forgotten about.
The person may well also be living alone but, if there is a partner (carer) that is involved or children such as a daughter or son, then mobility ramps or wheelchair ramps should also be considered.
This is because it is also important that the carer long term health be considered as they are the ones doing some, if not all, of the lifting.
While our folding power wheelchairs are light or ultra light, a person is still lifting a degree of weight over the national carrying safety amount of 20kg.
In view of this, frequent lifting for example, from an elderly loved one may cause injury to them and consequently, the person that needs help loses out.
RANA wheelchair ramps aid in reducing the possibility of back strains or pulled muscles and why we recommend that you consider buying one or, consider a wheelchair ramp in the near future.
Another reason to consider telescopic ramps for wheelchairs is because they retract to a small size and are light to carry, they can be taken anywhere and everywhere with you.
Ideal to use on steps if the place hasn’t yet had accessibility ramps built, you can use your mobility ramps to get up and enjoy the rest of your day.
