DMI Telescoping Aluminum Wheelchair Ramps - 3-5 ft Pair
Model: 517-4094-0000
Availability: Sold as a pair (2 ramps)
Portable Wheelchair Access Over Steps, Curbs, and Thresholds
These DMI telescoping ramps give you quick, no-tool wheelchair access wherever a step or curb gets in the way. Each ramp extends from 3 to 5 feet and locks at the length you need with a simple push-button mechanism, so one pair can handle the front step at home, a curb, or a vehicle.
Each aluminum ramp weighs just 6 pounds and collapses into three sections for storage. The included nylon carrying bag hangs over the wheelchair handles, so the ramps can travel with you to a relative's house, appointments, or anywhere access isn't guaranteed.
Key Features
- Adjustable 3 to 5 ft length: Three-section telescoping design with a push-button locking mechanism.
- U-shaped tracks: 2.25"-high side rails help keep wheels on the ramp.
- Non-skid treads: Textured track surfaces add traction indoors and outdoors.
- Rust-resistant aluminum: Strong yet light at 6 lb per ramp.
- No tools needed: Set up in moments for temporary or travel access.
- Travel-ready carry bag: Nylon bag stores both ramps and hangs over the wheelchair handles.
- Backed by warranty: 1-year limited manufacturer warranty.
Equipment Specialist Insight: Track-style ramps like these are the lightest, most packable way to bridge a step, but they trade some flexibility for that portability. Because each wheel rides in its own channel, both ramps must be set to match the chair's wheel spacing, and each wheel must fit the track width. That makes them a strong fit for manual wheelchairs with standard tires, and a poor fit for three-wheel scooters, whose single front wheel has no track to ride in. If you need to cross a high rise, use a scooter, or want a ramp that doesn't require lining up two tracks, a solid single-piece folding ramp is usually the better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if 5 feet is long enough for my step?
Measure the rise, the vertical height from the ground to the top of the step or landing. The ADA guideline for public ramps is a 1:12 slope, or 1 foot of ramp for every inch of rise. Steeper slopes are harder to climb and control, so check the manufacturer's measuring instructions before ordering, and consider a longer ramp for higher rises.
Will these work with my wheelchair?
Each wheel must be no wider than 4" to fit the 4.5" inner track, and the ramps must be spaced to line up with your chair's wheels. They suit most manual wheelchairs. They are not designed for three-wheel scooters, and some power chairs have tires too wide for the tracks.
How much weight can the ramps hold?
Each ramp supports up to 300 lb, for 600 lb combined. That total must cover the user, the wheelchair, and anyone assisting on the ramp.
How do I store and carry them?
Use the push-button locks to retract each ramp to its shortest length, then place both in the included nylon carrying bag. The bag hangs over the wheelchair handles for easy transport.
