Those who find themselves caring for a loved one often realize the difficulty it can be to help them access doorways and entrances. There are different types of wheelchair ramps suitable for use in a home setting.  Here is a look at some of the available options.

Aluminum Ramp

A popular material for ramps allowing access to a home is aluminum. These usually come in modules to be fit together. These modules work for most homes. You can also order a customized ramp if there are issues getting into the home. Aluminum wheelchair ramps are strong but lighter than other ramp materials which makes them ideal for moving around if needed. They also have a good strength-to-weight ratio so they are durable and safe.

Threshold Ramps

A threshold ramp, as the name implies, is designed to be used in a single doorway or opening in the home. It’s designed for an inside doorway, and one with a short rise. Even a seemingly small rise of 1.5” can be difficult when trying to get a wheelchair through the door. These come in a standard size and offer a safe incline for a wheelchair user to get up and down the ramp. Extra-wide threshold ramps are also available for larger entryways.

Portable Ramp

Portable ramps come in a variety of materials and sizes. The least expensive and lightest is made of aluminum. Portable options are available in different lengths and folding configurations to suit the need. They are designed to go along with you in a vehicle and use whenever, wherever they are needed. Whether at home or away, a portable ramp allows access to uneven surfaces like stairs or raised surfaces. The ramp is simply placed over the obstacle. 

The single-fold ramp is designed to be folded easily and carried to the location where it is needed. It can be installed in just a few minutes and taken down quickly when done. Multi-fold portable ramps extend farther than the single-fold ramp. They can be folded multiple times so it becomes a small pack that is easily portable. The longer length is beneficial when covering a longer distance, or a taller obstacle needing more length to cover the additional height.

For many people, visiting the beach is a quintessential summer activity. The sun, the surf, and the sand all beckon us to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the coastline. However, for individuals who use wheelchairs, the sandy terrain can present a significant challenge, often acting as a roadblock to fully experiencing the beach.

Fortunately, there are solutions and strategies available to enhance wheelchair accessibility and make beach visits an inclusive and enjoyable experience for everyone. Next Day Access, a leading provider of mobility solutions, is here to share valuable tips to improve wheelchair accessibility at the beach.

Tips to Improve Wheelchair Accessibility at the Beach

  • Research readily accessible beach options: Beachside tourist spots are revamping to accommodate those who utilize mobility devices. Be on the lookout for beach areas that feature wooden
  • Choose the Right Beach: Not all beaches are created equal when it comes to wheelchair accessibility. Look for beaches that offer wheelchair-accessible paths or ramps leading to the shoreline. Some beaches even have specially designated wheelchair-accessible beach entrances. Research and plan ahead to find beaches that prioritize inclusivity and offer amenities designed to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges.

Beach-Friendly Products to Improve Wheelchair Accessibility

  • Utilize Beach Wheelchairs: Next Day Access provides beach wheelchairs for rent or purchase, specifically designed to navigate the sandy terrian. These wheelchairs often have larger, wider wheels that make it easier to move across the sand. Contact the local beach authorities or tourist information centers to inquire about the availability of beach wheelchairs and any reservation procedures.
  • Bring Portable Ramps: If the beach you’re visiting doesn’t have accessible pathways or beach wheelchairs, consider investing in portable ramps. Next Day Access offers lightweight and foldable portable ramps that provide a smooth transition from solid ground to the sand, making it easier to navigate with a wheelchair. Portable ramps are available in various lengths and materials, so choose one that suits your specific needs.
  • Use Beach Accessibility Mats: Beach accessibility mats are an excellent solution to improve wheelchair mobility on sandy beaches. These mats are designed to be placed on top of the sand, providing a stable and firm surface for wheelchair movement. They allow individuals in wheelchairs to traverse the sand with ease and reduce the risk of getting stuck.
  • Consider Beach Tires for Wheelchairs: Specialized beach tires for wheelchairs are designed to provide improved traction and maneuverability on sandy surfaces. These tires have wider treads and deeper grooves, allowing for better grip in challenging terrains. Investing in beach tires can greatly enhance wheelchair mobility and make navigating the sand more manageable.

Enjoy Stress-Free Beach Days

Travelling can be stressful when you have mobility devices to think about. However, enjoying the beach and even transporting your mobility chair doesn’t need to be a hassle. Contact Next Day Access to learn about our rental products and make your next beach trip stress-free.
