Types of Wheelchair Ramps Available for Rent
Aluminum modular wheelchair ramps from EZ-ACCESS are the ramps that we typically offer for rentals. As a supplier, Lifeway Mobility can choose any wheelchair ramp product on the market to offer to customers. After extensive research and experience, we've concluded that an aluminum ramp is the best type of ramp available because of its durability, and that it is maintenance and rust free.
To determine the necessary length and configuration for safe use of the rental wheelchair ramp, one of our accessibility experts will need measurements of the area where safe access is needed. This can be done on-site or remotely with your assistance. Remote consultations will require you or a family member to take some measurements with a tape measure and send some photos by e-mail or text message.

Wheelchair Ramp Rental FAQs
How Long will it Take for the Ramp to be Installed?
Typically, we can have your rental ramp installed within a day after you approve the quote. However, there are many factors that can extend that time by a few days, such as weather, permits, and capacity.
On the day of the installation, it will take our trained technicians a couple hours, but it may take longer than that if it is more complex ramp design.
How Long Can I Rent a Wheelchair Ramp?
We do not have a limit on the length of time that a ramp can be rented. However, if you know ahead of time that you will need it for more than six months, it may make sense to buy a new or use one, rather than rent. Our safety consultants can help you do a cost analysis to better determine which makes the most sense for your mobility needs and budget.
What if I Decide I Need the Ramp Long-Term after Renting it for a Couple Months?
Lifeway's rent-to-own option, is perfect for this type of situation. It gives you the ability to purchase the ramp outright, and have 70% of the fees you have paid up to that point applied to the value of the ramp.
