Wheelchair Ramp Tech FAQs
A modular wheelchair ramp is a prefabricated aluminum wheelchair ramp system that assembles from interlocking sections, offering major advantages over traditional wood ramps. Senior Home Solutions’ modular aluminum wheelchair ramps feature:
No Home Attachment – Freestanding design requires no drilling into your home’s foundation, preserving property value and structure.
Rapid Installation – Professional wheelchair ramp installation completed in under 3 hours (vs. days for wood ramps).
ADA Compliant – All modular wheelchair ramps meet ADA slope requirements (1:12 ratio), include bilateral handrails, and feature non-slip aluminum walking surfaces.
Portable & Adjustable – Can be easily relocated, expanded, or reconfigured as needs change. Perfect for renters or families who may move.
Rental or Purchase – Available for monthly wheelchair ramp rental or permanent purchase.
Maintenance-Free – Aluminum construction resists Michigan weather, never needs painting, and lasts decades.
We install modular wheelchair ramps throughout Detroit, Sterling Heights, Grand Rapids, and all Michigan communities. Ideal for residential and commercial wheelchair ramp applications.
Senior Home Solutions offers the complete range of wheelchair ramp options for Michigan homes and businesses:
Modular Aluminum Wheelchair Ramps – Our most popular option. These ADA-compliant modular wheelchair ramps are available for rental or purchase. Freestanding design requires no attachment to your home and can be easily relocated or adjusted.
Portable Wheelchair Ramps – Lightweight aluminum portable ramps perfect for doorways, vehicles, and temporary accessibility needs. Available in lengths from 2-8 feet.
Commercial Wheelchair Ramps – ADA-compliant wheelchair ramp installation for Michigan businesses, medical facilities, and public buildings with proper permitting and documentation.
All our wheelchair ramps feature bilateral handrails, non-slip surfaces, and professional installation throughout Detroit, Sterling Heights, Grand Rapids, and all Michigan communities.
Determining how much wheelchair ramp you need follows ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements that ensure safe wheelchair accessibility. Here’s how to calculate your wheelchair ramp length needs:
ADA Wheelchair Ramp Slope Requirements:
1:12 Ratio Rule – One foot of ramp length for every inch of vertical rise
Quick Calculation:
- Measure the rise (height from ground to door threshold in inches)
- Multiply rise by 1 foot = total ramp length needed
- Example: 24-inch rise × 1 foot = 24 feet of wheelchair ramp required
Common Michigan Home Examples:
12-inch rise = 12 feet of aluminum wheelchair ramp needed
30-inch rise = 30 feet of wheelchair ramp needed (requires mid-platform) 36-inch rise = 36 feet of wheelchair ramp needed (requires multiple platforms)
Additional Space Requirements:
Platforms – Every 30 feet of wheelchair ramp requires a 5×5 foot level platform for resting
Top Platform – 5×5 foot level platform at door entrance (required by ADA)
Turns – L-shaped or switchback configurations require 5×5 foot platforms at direction changes
Width – All wheelchair ramps must be minimum 36 inches wide for ADA compliance
Why ADA 1:12 Slope Matters: Steeper slopes are unsafe for wheelchair users and electric scooters. The 1:12 ratio ensures safe self-propulsion without assistance.
Free Professional Measurement: Senior Home Solutions provides free on-site measurements throughout Michigan to determine exact aluminum wheelchair ramp length, configuration, and costs for rental or purchase. We measure your specific rise, evaluate property layout, and design the perfect ADA-compliant modular wheelchair ramp system.
Yes! All Senior Home Solutions wheelchair ramps are constructed from commercial-grade aluminum, making them superior to wood wheelchair ramps for Michigan’s harsh weather conditions.
Our aluminum wheelchair ramps offer multiple advantages: rust-resistant and weatherproof for year-round use, lightweight yet strong (1000+ lb weight capacity), maintenance-free (no painting or sealing required), and ADA-compliant with non-slip walking surfaces. Whether you choose wheelchair ramp rental or purchase, our modular aluminum wheelchair ramps are designed for Michigan’s snow, ice, rain, and temperature extremes. Available for residential and commercial wheelchair ramp installation throughout Detroit, Grand Rapids, Sterling Heights, and all Michigan.
Senior Home Solutions’ aluminum wheelchair ramps have a weight capacity exceeding 1,000 pounds, safely accommodating all wheelchair types, mobility scooters, and bariatric equipment used in Michigan homes and facilities.
Compare to Other Ramps:
- Wood wheelchair ramps: Deteriorate over time, reducing weight capacity
- Portable threshold ramps: Typically only 600-800 lb capacity
- Our modular aluminum ramps: 1,000+ lbs for lifetime of use
This heavy-duty weight capacity applies to both wheelchair ramp rental and purchased aluminum wheelchair ramps. Contact Senior Home Solutions for ADA-compliant wheelchair ramp rental or installation that safely supports all mobility equipment.

Non-Slip Wheelchair Ramp Surface Features:
Extruded Aluminum Texture – The walking surface of our modular aluminum wheelchair ramps has a textured pattern molded directly into the aluminum during manufacturing (not added grip tape that wears off)
All-Weather Traction – Provides secure traction for:
- Wheelchairs and power chairs in rain, snow, ice
- Walkers, canes, crutches in wet conditions
- Caregivers pushing wheelchairs up inclines
- Ice melt application in Michigan winters
ADA Slip-Resistance – Exceeds ADA requirements for wheelchair ramp coefficient of friction for safe accessibility
Permanent Texture – Unlike grip tape that peels off or wears away, the extruded aluminum non-slip surface lasts the lifetime of the wheelchair ramp
Open Design – Textured aluminum allows water, snow, and ice to drain through rather than pooling on the wheelchair ramp surface
Easy Snow Removal – Michigan-rated design allows shovel or snow blower use without damaging non-slip surface
Safe for All Mobility Devices:
- Wheelchair tires grip securely without slipping
- Scooter wheels maintain traction on inclines
- Walker feet won’t slide in wet conditions
- Cane tips and crutches stay stable
Winter Performance: Our non-slip aluminum wheelchair ramp surface outperforms wood ramps that become dangerously slippery when wet or frozen. Safe to use any ice melt product to keep Michigan wheelchair ramps ice-free throughout winter.
Maintenance-Free: The non-slip texture never requires replacement, reapplication, or special maintenance, unlike wood ramps needing annual grip tape replacement.
Included on all wheelchair ramp rental and purchase systems throughout Detroit, Sterling Heights, Grand Rapids, Warren, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Flint, and all Michigan communities. Contact us for non-slip aluminum wheelchair ramps designed for Michigan weather.

No Rot Repairs – Michigan snow and rain cause wood rot; aluminum is impervious to moisture damage
Splinter Prevention – Wood ramps develop dangerous splinters; aluminum stays smooth forever
Rust-Proof – Unlike steel ramps, aluminum resists corrosion even in Michigan’s harsh salt and snow conditions
