Sometimes, the smallest step can feel like the tallest mountain. A doorway threshold. A curb outside the grocery store. The back of your SUV. For someone using a wheelchair or scooter, these everyday moments can create unnecessary limits.
Here’s the best part: they don’t have to.
Mobility ramps and lifts are more than just tools — they’re quiet problem-solvers that give back independence, ease, and comfort. And with the right one by your side, that “tall mountain” becomes just another part of the path forward.
Let’s walk through what makes these ramps and lifts an essential companion, and how ACG Medical Supply can help you choose the one that fits your life best.
What Are Mobility Ramps & Why Do They Matter?
Think of mobility ramps for scooters and wheelchairs as bridges. Not just physical ones — but bridges to confidence, smoother routines, and everyday freedom.
These ramps:
- Help navigate over steps, curbs, and vehicle entries
- Support a wide range of mobility devices
- Can be permanent or portable
- Are designed to be safe, stable, and easy to use
They’re used in homes, public spaces, and vehicles, making environments more inclusive and flexible — exactly how they should be.
At ACG Medical Supply, we believe accessibility should never feel complicated or clinical. It should feel natural.

What to Ask Before Buying
Before choosing a ramp or lift, ask yourself:
- Where will I use it? Indoors, outdoors, in a vehicle?
- How high is the step or surface? Measure the rise for proper length.
- Do I need something portable? Foldable ramps are great for flexibility.
- Will I install it permanently or move it around?
- What kind of device will use the ramp? Manual chair, power scooter, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use a ramp inside my home?
Absolutely! Threshold ramps are perfect for indoor use and make transitions between rooms smoother.
2. Are ramps heavy?
Not necessarily. Aluminum folding ramps are super light and easy to carry. Rubber ramps are a bit heavier but super stable.
3. What’s the lifespan of a ramp?
With proper care, many ramps last for years. Just clean them regularly and store them well.
4. How do I know what size ramp to get?
The length of the ramp should correspond to the height of the obstacle. A typical guideline is 12 inches of ramp for every inch of height. Make sure to measure before purchasing.
5. Do insurance or Medicare cover ramps or lifts? In some cases, yes! Especially if they’re deemed medically necessary. ACG’s team can help guide you through documentation.
