Two kinds of ramp, two different jobs
A wheelchair ramp in India falls into one of two categories, and picking the right one starts with knowing which job it needs to do:
- Portable ramps — for home entrances, steps, and doorways. Carried and set up wherever needed, not fixed to one place.
- Vehicle ramps — permanently fitted to a specific car or van, so a wheelchair user can roll directly from the ground into the vehicle and stay seated for the whole journey.
This guide covers both, with real specs for every RamPlus model, so you can compare across the full range in one place.
Part 1: Portable Ramps — For Home and Stairs
All three portable ramps are tool-free, anti-skid aluminium, and need no drilling or permanent fitting — a genuine advantage for renters or anyone who doesn't want structural changes at home.
| Suitcase Ramp | Split Ramp | Threshold Ramp | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fold style | Single panel, folds in half | Two-channel, two-fold | Low-profile wedge, not foldable |
| Folded size | Compact, fits a car boot | 3.4 ft folded | Fixed at doorway |
| Open length | Full ramp length | 6.5 ft open | Custom to door height |
| Weight capacity | 150 kg | 250 kg | Not specified — confirm |
| Ramp weight | 7.2 kg | 15 kg | Lightweight, exact figure not listed |
| Price | ₹27,825 | ₹39,900 | Custom quote |
| Best for | Manual wheelchairs, everyday portable use, 1-3 steps | Power wheelchairs, narrow doorways, heavier users | Small door lips (2-8 cm) — bathroom, balcony, kitchen thresholds |
RamPlus Portable Suitcase Ramp
The lightest and most popular of the three, at 7.2 kg. Folds flat, fits in most car boots, and is the standard choice for occasional use — visiting family, a single step at a shop entrance, or a hotel doorway. Supports up to 150 kg. Explore the RamPlus Suitcase Ramp .
RamPlus Portable Split Ramp
Two independent channels solve what a single-panel ramp can't: narrow doorways and uneven ground. Each channel positions separately, and the higher 250 kg rating makes it the better fit for power wheelchairs or heavier users. Folds to 3.4 ft for storage. See RamPlus Split Ramp options .
RamPlus Threshold Ramp
Built for the small raised lips found at almost every doorway in an Indian home — bathroom entries, balcony doors, kitchen steps. It's a permanent low-profile wedge rather than a fold-and-carry ramp, and it's the simplest, most affordable fix for this specific, very common barrier. Browse RamPlus Threshold Ramp options .
Part 2: Vehicle Ramps — For Cars and Vans
Vehicle ramps are fitted permanently to a specific van, so the wheelchair stays in the vehicle for the whole trip rather than transferring the user to a seat. Built for higher-frequency use — ambulances, school transport, hospital patient transport, NGO fleets.

RamPlus for Tata Winger
A reinforced steel frame built for daily institutional use. Rear-entry standard, with side-entry conversion available. Second-row seat removal and wheelchair restraint installation can be added alongside the ramp. Explore RamPlus for Tata Winger .
RamPlus for Force Tempo Traveler
The longest ramp in the range at 9 ft, three-fold — built specifically for the Tempo Traveler's higher step clearance, where a shorter ramp would create too steep an incline. See RamPlus vehicle ramp options .
How to choose — across all six ramps
- Is this for a home/doorway, or for a vehicle? This is the first fork — portable ramps and vehicle ramps solve different problems and aren't interchangeable.
- For portable: how many steps, and how wide is the doorway? One to three steps and a standard doorway → Suitcase Ramp. Narrow or uneven doorway, or a heavier/power wheelchair → Split Ramp. Just a door lip, not real steps → Threshold Ramp. Use the ramp calculator to size slope and length.
- For vehicle: which van do you own, and how is it used? Personal or occasional use → Eeco. Daily institutional use (school, ambulance, NGO) → Winger. Higher loading floor → Tempo Traveler.
- What's the wheelchair type? Power wheelchairs and heavier users need the higher-capacity options — Split Ramp (250 kg) over Suitcase (150 kg) for portable; any of the vehicle ramps, since all three hold 300 kg.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a portable ramp and a vehicle ramp?
A portable ramp is carried and set up wherever needed — home entrances, steps, doorways. A vehicle ramp is permanently fitted to a specific van so the wheelchair stays inside for the whole journey.
Which portable ramp is best for narrow doorways?
The Split Ramp, since its two channels position independently and don't need one wide panel to fit flat.
Do vehicle ramps void my van's warranty?
No, when installed by TrueAssist's authorized professionals.
Can a portable ramp be used in a car too?
Yes — the Suitcase Ramp in particular is compact enough to carry in a car boot for ad hoc use, though it's not a substitute for a permanently fitted vehicle ramp for regular wheelchair-in-place transport.
What weight can these ramps support?
Portable ramps range from 150 kg (Suitcase) to 250 kg (Split). All three vehicle ramps are rated to 300 kg.
