A portable residential ramp is a temporary structure designed to provide wheelchair or mobility scooter access to Lehigh Valley buildings and homes where a permanent ramp is not available or feasible. It is a portable and lightweight solution that can be easily set up and removed as needed.

These ramps are typically made of durable materials such as aluminum or fiberglass to ensure stability and support the weight of individuals using mobility aids. They come in various lengths and designs to accommodate different heights and inclines.

Portable residential ramps often feature non-slip surfaces and raised edges for added safety. They may also have handles or carrying bags to make them easy to move and store. Some ramps are modular, allowing users to adjust the length or add additional sections to fit specific requirements.

These ramps can be used in a variety of settings, including private residences, temporary events, and public spaces, to improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities or limited mobility. They offer a convenient and temporary solution for overcoming barriers and accessing buildings and areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.
