Ramp-Ready Tips & Tools

Making life easier for wheelchair users starts with the little things — and ramps are a big one.

Whether you’re navigating a trail café, a public loo, or a tricky kerb near a trailhead, portable ramps can be a game-changer. That’s why we’re launching a new section at Access Trails UK:

“Ramp-Ready Tips & Tools” — your guide to lightweight, foldable ramps and how to use them safely on the go.

What’s Inside

• Best Portable Ramp Options
  Compact, travel-friendly models for everyday use — like the American Access Sidekick or Titan Multi-Fold Ramp
• When & Where to Use Them
  From trail cafés to pop-up events, kerbs to community halls
• Safety First
  Tips on slope angles, secure placement, and storage — including UK ramp gradient guidance
• Community Picks
  Real feedback from users who’ve tested them in the wild — and what made the difference

Why It Matters

Even the most accessible trail can be let down by a single step at a café or a missing kerb cut.
With the right ramp and a bit of planning, you can turn “almost accessible” into “absolutely doable.”

If you’re in the mood for something gentler, our informal blog is always open.
