Types of Wheelchair Ramps
Transition Ramp
Transition ramps are small ramps that you put in doorways or other small rises or drops. We have standard size rubber transition ramps that are in a few standard sizes of doorways and then we have metal ones that adjust to the size of the transition. Anything greater than 4 inches may need a different style of a ramp.
Single Folding Wheelchair Ramp
These ramps are made from aluminum, they are lightweight but are engineered to handle heavyweights such as power wheelchairs and mobility scooters. They easily fold up and have a nice suitcase style handle making them easy to transport, they are great for small heights into minivans or cars.
Triple Folding Wheelchair Ramp
Triple folding ramps are made from aluminum and are lightweight but very durable. The triple folding ramp is usually a little longer than single folding ramps and packs up a little smaller in length making them better if you are getting into a larger vehicle or larger set of stairs.
Portable Ramps are Problem Solvers
Coming to staircases or large step is a very difficult part of being in a wheelchair or mobility scooter and portable ramps help solve those problems. If you are going to a location or facility that you do not frequent and need to get up a small set of stairs, you can use a foldable ramp to access the area.
Load your power chair into your car or truck
These ramps are great for getting your chair into a vehicle. Remove yourself from the chair and then motor the power chair into the vehicle and fold the ramp and go. It is a very smooth process – the ramps have a non-slip surface, making your chair have great traction on the incline.
Many options to choose from
We have many types and sizes of ramps so come down in San Diego and see if one works for you.

Regulations And Standards In San Diego
San Diego implements specific regulations to ensure wheelchair ramps meet safety and accessibility standards. Understanding these regulations helps in proper ramp installation and compliance.
ADA Compliance
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sets federal requirements for wheelchair ramps to ensure accessibility. Ramps must have a minimum width of 36 inches to accommodate wheelchair users comfortably. The maximum slope for a ramp is 1:12, meaning for every inch of height, the ramp must be at least 12 inches long. Handrails are required on ramps longer than 6 feet for added safety. Installations should also include edge protection to prevent users from slipping off.
Local Building Codes
San Diego's local building codes complement ADA guidelines with additional specifications. The city mandates permits for new ramp installations to ensure compliance with structural standards. Ramps must feature non-slip surfaces to enhance safety, especially during wet conditions. Local codes also require proper drainage to prevent water accumulation on ramps. These regulations aim to create safe, accessible pathways for wheelchair users, ensuring a cohesive and inclusive environment.
Too Big for a Portable? Try a Modular Ramp in San
If you need a larger, more permanent ramp we can install a modular ramp at your home or office.
Modular ramps can be made of aluminum like the picture above or they can be made of all wood to match your home. Harmony Home Medical is San Diego’s premier accessible home remodeler.
We install ramps, redo kitchens and bathrooms, widened doorways, install elevators, install ceiling lifts. Any mobility challenge you are faced with by the design of your home Harmony Home Medical can help. Check out our home remodeling section here.
Modular ramps offer a unique blend of the portable ramps' versatility and the strength and ease of use of permanent ramps.
Modular ramps are prefabricated and sold in multiple sections. As such, they require minimal groundwork and take a few hours to install.
You can expect to spend between $400 and $4,000 on this type of wheelchair ramp, but costs can increase for lengths over 20’..
While modular ramps can remain in place at home or in a commercial setting, their design allows for easy removal and adjustments if needed.
With custom modular ramps, you can add, remove, or reconfigure sections to accommodate specific needs. For example, if a tree falls on your ramp, you only need to replace the damaged section (rather than the entire ramp).
Additionally, most of these ramps come in high-traction and self-draining platforms, offering better anti-slip properties than typical ramps.

Installation And Maintenance Tips
Engaging a professional like Harmony Home Medical ensures your ramp meets all ADA and local building code requirements. Certified installers in San Diego handle permits, ensuring compliance. They assess your property's unique layout, providing customized solutions. Experts offer durable materials suitable for San Diego’s climate, like aluminum or treated wood, resisting rust and weathering. Professionals follow precise measurements, ensuring correct width, slope, and secure handrail placements, enhancing safety and usability.
Different Size Steps, No Problem
Door jam heights are sometimes different sizes, that is why transition ramps come in adjustable sizes.
You can use a transition ramp for elevation changes up to 6 inches in height. Most of the times these are semi-permanent, meaning you don’t take them away with each use. Sometimes we will put a few light screws in them to keep them in place but they can easily be removed.
Getting Into an SUV, Easy!
The tri-fold wheelchair ramp is perfect for getting into larger vehicles like an SUV or van. We use this model for transporting all of our own wheelchairs throughout the San Diego area.
It is very lightweight for how long it is and who much weight it can hold. With the suitcase style handle, it is easy to walk around with!
