I highly recommend it. The sun shines brighter, the birds sing sweeter, and the business of the day just rolls off without leaving a wrinkle.” – Archibald Leach Everything feels better with a custom fit. Freedom of movement takes on a higher level of awareness when your Mobility Plus wheelchair is custom made to your exact measurements. Your arms seem to have more power and your manoeuvrability will be so enhanced that you’ll notice the difference and so will everybody around you. Mobility Plus’ custom-made system goes far beyond taking stock pieces from a library of pre-made parts. We gather precise information, not just your measurements, but your pushing style, favourite seating position and personal lifestyle preferences. Remember also we can craft anything from folding and fixed frame manual wheelchairs to child sizes or specialised sports wheelchairs. Once this information is all assembled and approved, only then do our craftsmen go to work. Each element of the frame is made to exacting tolerances to ensure perfect fit and the materials used are the finest available for long-term durability. Whilst we understand your desire to get into your unique wheelchair as soon as you can, we will not compromise our craftsmanship for the sake of time. Even in these days of instant gratification, quality still takes time. With our precision, custom-made wheelchairs, every one still has the inbuilt provision of fine-tuning to make it just perfect. There is also a vast array of accessories, seats, wheels and parts to individualise each wheelchair. There is something extra satisfying in the knowledge that this wheelchair was made just for you, to optimise your independence. There is not another one like it in the world! Manual Mobility Equaliser Folding wheelchairs are great for convenience of packing and transport, but there’s no need to have something that doesn’t fit perfectly. The Equaliser is a truly custom-made folding wheelchair. After carefully taking the precise measurements of our client, the craftsmen at Mobility Plus build the wheelchair from specialised high-tensile heat treated aluminium alloy – the best there is.

As the high tensile elements are bolted together, there are less moving parts, which makes for a more solid feel when pushing, and cuts down on maintenance, so that the durability is fantastic. Whilst the Wedge is fully custom-made to the measurements of the individual user, the frame is still multi-adjustable to fine-tune for seating position and lifestyle requirements. • Heat treated high tensile frame made from special custom extruded tube to maximise strength • Alloy wheel rims • Hard anodised push rims and stainless steel spokes • Precision sealed bearings throughout • Padded Dacron backrest with adjustable seat tension • Alloy footrest with adjustable depth and angle • Rear wheel multi-position axle fitting with three-way adjustment • Front wheel housing has adjustment to allow castors to always be at 90° to the ground, promoting easier turning • A huge range of finish colours in durable powder-coated polyester • Available in titanium • One-arm or front-wheel drive available Mobility Plus Wheechairs Australia - Unit 1, 23 Bell St, Preston VIC 3072 Phone 1300 011 000 - www.mobilityplus.com.au Manual Mobility Elite The Elite is the pinnacle of development in rigid-frame aluminium alloy wheelchairs.

Sport benefits health in many ways, as well as improving self-esteem and providing a social outlet. Mobility Plus specialises in wheelchairs for the three major participatory wheelchair games of tennis, basketball and rugby. The basis of the sport chairs is our famous Elite model, which is a fully made-to-measure all-welded frame for the lightest possible wheelchair with incredible strength and manoeuvrability. The Elite is then modified to the requirements of the various sports. We are also able to build custom designed wheelchairs for other specialised sports such as track racing chairs that are made to the athlete’s requirements. Mobility Plus has put much painstaking research into the set-up of sports chairs and come up with numerous innovations, many of which are now imitated around the world by other wheelchair builders. We are complimented time and time again. Mobility Plus Wheechairs Australia - Unit 1, 23 Bell St, Preston VIC 3072 Phone 1300 011 000 - www.mobilityplus.com.au Manual Mobility Sports Wheelchairs: Tennis Fitness, for those with disabilities, is just as important an issue as in the wider community. Sport benefits health in many ways, as well as improving self esteem and providing a social outlet. The game of wheelchair tennis is a fast and fluid sport. At its best, it’s exciting and graceful, but for most it’s just great fun. Mobility Plus has specialised in tennis wheelchairs for many years and some of the top ranked players in the world, past and present, use wheelchairs built by Mobility Plus. The basis of the tennis chair is our acclaimed Elite model, which is a fully made-to-measure, all-welded frame for the lightest possible wheelchair with incredible strength and manoeuvrability. There are many different configurations for tennis wheelchairs, and this is decided during the measuring process to enhance personal game preferences. Mobility Plus has put much painstaking effort into the set-up of tennis wheelchairs and come up with numerous innovations, many of which are now imitated around the world by other wheelchair builders. This certainly shows the quality of the research undertaken by Mobility Plus.

Mobility Plus Wheechairs Australia - Unit 1, 23 Bell St, Preston VIC 3072 Phone 1300 011 000 - www.mobilityplus.com.au Manual Mobility Sports Wheelchairs: Basketball People who use wheelchairs often lack aerobic fitness. The game of wheelchair basketball is fast and furious; great for aerobic fitness. Participants have the added bonus of a team environment which benefits self-esteem and social connections as well as health and fitness. Mobility Plus has specialised in basketball wheelchairs from the inception of the company. We have developed “the wing”, a specialised crash-bar carefully designed to both prevent “hooking” the wheelchairs by other competitors and to protect the feet from injury due to the frequent collisions that occur during the game. The model on which the basketball wheelchair is built is our famous Elite design. The Mobility Plus Elite is a true custom made-to-measure wheelchair. All joints are welded so there are no bolts to work loose. This is also the mode of construction for the lightest possible frame, using either light-weight tempered aluminium alloy tubing or ultra-light, ultra-strong titanium. These chairs have a strength-to-weight ratio that is unmatched, making them beautifully responsive, fast as lightning, and amazingly strong. Mobility Plus has put extensive research into the set-up of sports chairs, and in consultation with you, our expert technicians custom build a basketball wheelchair that is just the way you want it, making your game the best it can be. Features Include: • Incredibly strong and responsive • Designed to prevent hooking with other wheelchairs • Designed to protect the feet Mobility Plus Wheechairs Australia - Unit 1, 23 Bell St, Preston VIC 3072 Phone 1300 011 000 - www.mobilityplus.com.au Manual Mobility Sports Wheelchairs: Rugby Wheelchair rugby is fast, rough and tough. Tackling is achieved by “blocking” the player with the ball with your own wheelchair. Therefore, the rugby wheelchairs have to be incredibly strong – and armour-plated. The Mobility Plus “Elite” rugby wheelchair frame is incredibly strong because it is welded and then heat treated. As none of the joints are bolted together, they cannot work loose under the constant barrage of collisions during the game. The specially developed “rugby wing” on the wheelchair is an armour-plated crash-bar, designed to protect the occupant, and carefully planned to prevent “hooking” wheelchairs with other participants. As with all Mobility Plus Sports wheelchairs, the rugby chair is custom-made to the measurements and ability of the athlete to enhance manoeuvrability and speed. Wheelchair sport is great for fitness and self-esteem, and the Mobility Plus Elite rugby wheelchair will provide participants with many years of fun and safe game time while building their strength and endurance. Features Include: • Incredibly strong and armour-plated • Designed to protect the occupant • Custom-made Mobility Plus Wheechairs Australia - Unit 1, 23 Bell St, Preston VIC 3072 Phone 1300 011 000 - www.mobilityplus.com.au Manual Mobility MP Tilt Chair Mobility Plus has, for many years, produced a wheelchair with a tilt feature that is completely customised to individual needs. It is based on either of our trusted Wedge or Elite designs, and is made from tempered, light-weight aluminium alloy tubing for long-term strength and durability. The tilt section activates easily for the care-giver and keeps the person with disabilities in the correct ergonomic position, so that sleeping, feeding or converting from tilted to up-right for travelling are all made simple operations.

Mobility Plus Wheechairs Australia - Unit 1, 23 Bell St, Preston VIC 3072 Phone 1300 011 000 - www.mobilityplus.com.au Manual Mobility Mini MP Range Details are so important when fitting children or adolescents for wheelchairs. It is not just the physical characteristics and precise measurements of the person to be fitted, but lifestyle and family considerations are critical to make the wheelchair a perfect fit.

At Mobility Plus we are geared to aid these special people with their families and carers, to get the most from their lives. In conjunction with our other area of expertise in postural support and pressure care, we will undertake a precise measuring and postural evaluation process. After that our craftsmen will construct a wheelchair to the exact needs of that special person. This can involve moulded seats and other specialised postural supports or safety harnesses, as well as many variations to the design of the wheelchair frame itself. As they usually cannot push themselves, the wheelchair must either be electrically powered, or be very easy for the carer or family member to push. On manual wheelchairs, we provide a variety of handle options and mechanisms to aid carers and familiy members with wheelchair mobility. The flexibility of our processes and the skill of our craftsmen ensure that we can build to the requirements of people with special needs.

The Series 4 Wheelchair Powerpack has an ultra-reliable 12 volt 160 watt motor and gearbox which are capable of propelling loads of up to 115 kilograms.

Not only does the PD6 make light work of pushing a manual wheelchair up a slope, it also reduces the risk on descending slopes with its dynamic braking system. The complete PD6 unit is easily installed on most manual wheelchairs. The ergonomic positioning of the push-handles is optimal for steering and operation of the wheelchair by the carer, while the speed is continuously adjustable up to 5 kilometres per hour. A reverse gear is also available. There is a choice of 7A/h or 10 A/h batteries. The battery pack is easily removed by lifting its carrying handle, and then the PD6 can be folded down for easy transportation. The PD6 has some operational safety parameters such as a maximum negotiable curb of 5 cm, maximum working load of 120 kilograms and a maximum admissible slope of 90 or 16%. The PD6 has been carefully designed so that it fits on most wheelchairs but care-givers will tell you that the most important feature is its ease of operation. Power is supplied by two standard rechargeable batteries in a sealed battery pack, which is maintenance free, providing a range of 7 to 10 kilometres. Features Include: • Provides carers with relief from heavy pushing • Reduces risk on slopes with braking system • Powers the wheelchair for 7-10km before needing to recharge the batteries Mobility Plus Wheechairs Australia - Unit 1, 23 Bell St, Preston VIC 3072 Phone 1300 011 000 - www.mobilityplus.com.au Power Mobility E-Motion - Power Assistance for Wheelchairs A wheelchair provides the user with freedom of movement and promotes activity. It is, however, not always easy to maintain movement relying on one’s own physical strength. Depending on the user’s level of disability, left or right hand support can be adjusted independently. When switched off, the wheelchair is ready for manual use. Wheelchair drivers know all about it: that heavy feeling on a long uphill journey or a long downhill stretch where safety becomes a problem. E-Motion can provide active mobility with very little effort. The electric motors have rechargeable battery packs that are integrated inconspicuously into the wheel hubs. There is no disturbing motor noise due to the gearless and maintenance-free drive mechanism. E-Motion is based on a very simple operational principle: when the user applies force to the push rims, the motors engage and assist with propulsion of the wheelchair. There are three different levels of support available at the push of a button: Stage 1 – minimum support, for indoor use, Stage 2 – for outdoor use on even terrain, Stage 3 – maximum support for uphill stretches or for users requiring total support. Because of handy snap connectors, the individual parts are easy to attach and remove, so wheelchairs can be disassembled and transported as normal. E Motion allows active wheelchair use with much less effort, as those who keep on the move, are more likely to get ahead! Features Include: • Provides active mobility with little effort • 3 different levels of support at the push of a button • Transports easily Mobility Plus Wheechairs Australia - Unit 1, 23 Bell St, Preston VIC 3072 Phone 1300 011 000 - www.mobilityplus.com.au Power Mobility Metro (Folding) Power Wheelchair Specifications: Mobility Plus has power wheelchairs to fit most applications and conditions. The Metro is a streamlined, aluminium-framed model that will take the knocks of everyday life, and then, can be folded away for easy transportation or storage. The Metro has rear drive wheels set well back on the frame, behind the level of the seating, and the added safety of 35mm anti-tip wheels, making it exceptionally stable. With a turning radius of only 61cm, this wheelchair is also extremely manoeuvrable for its classification. You could not get better value than the Metro in a folding power wheelchair to aid with mobility and independence.

Our experienced technicians can advise you as to the best material for your particular application, budget or specified medical condition. Fusion-Bonded Honeycomb – For most people, Supracor Fusion-Bonded Honeycomb, is the best of all worlds, offering Total Pressure Care® by lower interface and shear pressure as well as superior ventilation for moisture and heat control. See our full range in the separate Supracor pages. Foam Cushions – Polyurethane foam is the most economical, but also the shortest lived seat cushion material, as we have to use softer densities to protect against pressure problems for those with sensitive skin. This material, though, is very comfortable and comes in a wide range of densities. It can be an ideal material for those who spend only a few hours a day in a wheelchair, and is very useful, and most often utilised, for shaped, backrest-cushions. Wheelchair Postural Backrests – Mobility Plus manufacture many of the backrests that are required for our wheelchairs in our own specialised seating department. Latex Cushions – Latex is a much more resilient material in the softer densities than foam: more expensive, but longer lived. It is a natural product that is friendlier to the environment. Gel Cushions – These cushions work on sacks of gel over a shaped base. Gel cushions are excellent for pressure maintenance and seating stability as they mould around the anatomy of the user. Air Pocket Inflated Cushions – These cushions are excellent for those at higher risk of skin integrity issues who need a greater level of pressure care. They are recognised as extremely soft and comfortable but are not as maintenance free as other cushions. Foam Cushions can come in many grades Apart from our standard, adjustable, back upholstery, there are strap - adjustable backs and a multitude of shaped backrests, often custom fitted. With our own hexcelite (HEX) seating, we also specialise in forming backrests for people whose lives have left them in need of the most precise measurement, to make a back and seat that fits them individually. There are a great number and variety of other moulded backrests on the market that can be sourced from our worldwide network of mobility equipment resources. We, at Mobility Plus, are able to fulfil any prescription of backrest that your health professional can specify. These can be fitted to our flexibly designed wheelchairs by Mobility Plus craftsmen to provide the best possible seating outcome for every individual person.

Its influence carries through all areas of disability, as the pressure lesion can be a severe, but mostly preventable, threat to the well-being of all people with impaired mobility. Postural support and pressure care can be as simple as just the right seat cushion on your wheelchair, to as complex as a full, twenty-four hour postural management program, with fully custom-made, moulded body support and postural aids during the hours of sleep. Mobility Plus is a centre of excellence in this important field and now provides a huge range of products and services to cater for all aspects of postural support and pressure care. Whether your seat cushion preference is air-filled, latex, synthetic foam, gel or the revolutionary new Supracor® fusion-bonded honeycomb, we can supply the most appropriate product for your condition. Mobility Plus also has expertise in pressure mapping, custom and moulded seating through use of our Seating Assessment Machine (SAM.) and a postural aid program to preserve body symmetry during sleep. This comprehensive service has been built up over many years by Mobility Plus through a worldwide network of partnerships with providers of quality disability equipment combined with our own research and manufacturing facilities. Postural Support & Pressure Care Seating Assessment Machine (SAM) Mobility Plus operates a piece of diagnostic equipment called a Seating Assessment Machine (SAM) to ascertain the correct supportive comfort and pressure management for those more profoundly disabled in our community, in order to minimise deterioration of skin integrity. These types of disabilities are often characterised by abnormal tone which twists the body, making them more difficult to support than normal, especially through the lumbar and thoracic areas. The caring technicians at Mobility Plus are very experienced in dealing with these types of conditions and have, as their primary tool, a prescription chair or seating assessment machine (SAM) SAM has a back profiler made up of many rows of plastic “fingers” that can exactly map the shape of the body to be supported. This profile can then be used to replicate the precise shape into a back cushion. The use of SAM however, does not end there. A headrest can be shaped and adjusted for height and lateral position, as well as having a number of different profiles to choose from to support the head correctly. SAM’s seat can be a split wedge to cater for different leg lengths, or completely removed to fit alternate specialised pressure care seating. Adductor pads or a pommel for abduction can be fitted and there are lap-belt or harness capabilities. The tilt-in-space feature has its adjustment at the hip joint to ensure correct ergonomic support. Armrests are adjustable in each plane or can make way for a generous tray. To cater for the lower legs, the knee to foot specifications can change in length and angle and the footrest is infinitely Planta and Dorsi adjustable. The capabilities of SAM are best described in the chart: Adjustment Matrix Headrest Armrest Back support Seat Calf support Footrest Lateral a a N/A* N/A* N/A a Vertical a a N/A* N/A* a a Depth a a N/A* a N/A a Angle a a N/A* a a a *Custom fitted This then provides a complete formula for the individual postural needs of each client. If the disability is less severe, then many clients can be fitted through our library of symmetrical back supports which can then be modified after measurement and assessment. We also offer many different styles of seats which can be tried, often with our system of pressure mapping, for the most suitable comfort and pressure care. The Seating Assessment Machine provides an accurate, time-efficient way to care for those most disabled in our society.

This device allows clinicians and clients to view precise, high-resolution representations of bodily pressure distributions on a screen. We can show clinicians, using objective measurements, how positioning, support materials and alterations to them can impact on a client’s circulation, skin surface integrity and well-being. Mobility Plus use pressure mapping as a diagnostic tool, particularly in conjunction with our prescriptions for specialised moulded seating such as the “Hex Seating” on custom-made wheelchairs. We can show clinicians (physiotherapists or occupational therapists) in two or even three dimensions the pressure effects on the often unusual body shapes of their clients and how re-shaping or even changing the support materials can minimise the risk to clients from the effects of pressure. The techniques can also be applied to the lying position to see how pressure affects the sleeping or bed-ridden client. With the extensive range of different cushions available at Mobility Plus, including the Symmetrisleep night positioning bolsters, the prescribed cushion material, style and contouring for seat and back is always achievable with the help of our experienced and knowledgeable team, to ensure correct pressure care.

Mobility Plus Wheechairs Australia - Unit 1, 23 Bell St, Preston VIC 3072 Phone 1300 011 000 - www.mobilityplus.com.au Postural Support & Pressure Care Hex Seating Hex seating is an important process, pioneered by Australian, Dr John Woodhouse, to improve comfort, safety and quality of life for those with severe muscular-skeletal spinal irregularities. The trained and experienced technicians at Mobility Plus take a precise moulding of the individual’s exact shape. This is a most important starting point as the body of the person with this type of disability is often not suited to an everyday wheelchair. Input from family members, carers and therapists is also imperative and incorporated into the design of the finalised seating and wheelchair frame. A plaster cast is taken from the initial mould to preserve the individual’s exact body contours, and then a thick, impervious liner made from EVA closed cell foam is formed over the cast in our Vacuum Forming Unit. The soft liner then has Hexcelite orthopaedic splinting tape heat bonded to it to provide supportive strength, giving the seating its name. This unique combination has the supreme advantage of being able to be altered and re-moulded around bony prominences, not only when a final fitting is done with the client, but years later to accommodate changes in body shape, thereby extending the life of the seating. Finally, a wheelchair frame is hand-crafted to accommodate the shape of the seat to ensure comfort, protection and long-term durability. 1. 2. 4. 5. 3. 1. The original mould for Hex seating 2.

It is clear that good postural management and comfort are important during this large proportion of each day, and is central to any twenty-four hour postural management program. The Symmetrisleep Body Support System provides adaptable ergonomic support for anybody who cannot find a comfortable sleeping position easily. It is made up of a series of padded frames, wedges and bolsters, with the shaping elements secured to a base sheet, that help maintain body symmetry during sleep and protect joints from the destructive effect of gravity during those 3,640 hours of bed rest. In short, it provides supported comfort and postural management while sleeping. Child unsupported on a sleeping surface Sleep Improved comfort reduces abnormal tone during the night for easier movement and better mornings. This can also mean that family members and carers are disturbed less frequently. The Symmetrisleep System is extremely practical and easy to handle being made from highly conforming “Lowzone” foam cushions and sheets, combined with two-way stretch, wipe-clean, breathable fabrics for comfort and durability. It is also easy to transport and simple to set up anywhere. Symmetrisleep is infinitely adjustable for supine, prone or side-lying sleep and may, over time, reduce the need for surgical intervention.

In the form of sheets or cushions, the Supracor Honeycomb distributes weight uniformly to relieve pressure points while providing exceptional stability. The honeycomb cells contour to body shape and flex with movement to absorb shock and prevent tissue trauma. Perforations in the honeycomb cell walls help circulate air to evaporate moisture. Excess moisture is also directed away from the skin by the air spaces in the honeycomb, making it an excellent choice for individuals who are incontinent or perspire heavily, especially those who live in warmer climates. This discovery, therefore promotes clean, healthy skin and minimises the risk of pressure lesions. Made from advanced medical grade material that’s antibacterial, antifungal and odour resistant, Supracor cushions and sheets are the modern approach to pressure management. They are also simple to clean, being machine washable and dryable. All cushions come with a standard cover, but there is the option of incontinence covers if required. Custom sizes are also available on any design by special request. Supracor cushions and sheets provide Total Pressure Management ® in three ways; direct or interface pressure relief, reduced shear pressure and ventilation to control heat and moisture, bringing you a new level of comfort.

The ceiling-mounted rails are all modular as well, making for smooth, almost silent gliding, providing the passenger with the feeling of a safe, secure ride. Mobility Plus distributes Guldmann ceiling hoists as they are an ideal way to move non-weight-bearing people from one place to another. A lifting system of this kind, mounted on the ceiling, with the mechanical and moving parts discreetly out of the way, can reach any part of the room so furnishings and floor coverings are no longer a hindrance, and the room looks far less clinical. With the unique Guldmann built-in power source for constant re-charging and always-on capability, you save time, as everything needed for effective lifting and moving is always in place, ready to go. The result – more time for the care that really counts. Guldmann have a number of different slings ranging from upright walking, to sitting or full horizontal, stable lift, so that the perfect comfort and support for each individual can be found. The benefits also extend to the care-giver with documented reductions in stress, strain and injury. Guldmann ceiling hoists save space, save time and make life easier and safer for everybody.

This independence adds greatly to self-esteem and a sense of control over one’s own life. Vehicular independence also allows the disabled person to take a more active role in family and community life. Mobility Plus has the knowledge and experience to fit hand controls to a large variety of vehicles. Our extensive machinery allows us to make the fine modifications that are often needed, as practically every vehicle requires slightly different fittings to make the apparatus work effectively. Our experience also allows us to modify equipment to cope with specialised disability needs as the hand controls activate the pedals of the vehicle and do not directly control the engine. There is also a range of portable hand controls that can be adapted to any vehicle on a temporary basis, making travel far easier through the use of alternate or rental vehicles. The trusted name of Mobility Plus is the one to look for in vehicle adaptation for people with disabilities.

Brand-adapted brackets are available for the most common brands of cars and they are mounted on the original seat fittings so they can be easily removed and the seat returned to its original state when the car is replaced. Quite often, the original seat can be re-used, but a low-profile seat such as the “BEV” is recommended to ensure correct seating height and maximum room when entering and exiting the vehicle.

Rotating, lifting and lowering are completely electrically operated by a fixed in-vehicle control or an optional remote control. The Turny Orbit comes with either of two lifting heights of 300 or 395mm adapted to vehicle make and user requirements. Whilst these two heights are the maximum travel, end stops for downward travel are programmable. The Turny orbit has passed crash-testing standards and has an approved load capacity of 150 kilograms. Changes to vehicles are minimal and can easily be restored for resale when the vehicle is to be replaced.

Firstly there are weight considerations, then there is the distance to be bridged, and the gradient required. There are always government safety regulations as to distance, hand rails, gradients and locations just to add to the complexity. At Mobility Plus we are experts in ramping and are able to take the worry out of selecting the right ramp for you. We have long ones and short ones; light-weight portable ones; heavy duty ones; ones with hand rails and, when all else fails, we’ll make them ourselves to suit your needs. We act as an agent and distributor for a number of highly regarded ramp manufacturers from around the world and can draw on many different configurations to help you. Ramps can be so important for your independence and mobility. The choice and expertise at Mobility Plus makes it easy to select the right ramp. Ramping Roll-a-Ramp® Mobility Plus supplies Roll-a-Ramp® exclusively in Australia. It is the world’s most versatile ramping system. Fabricated from strong aerospace aluminium with a black anodised finish, the Roll-a-Ramp provides incredible strength, being able to hold up to 900 kilograms of distributed weight. The Roll-a-Ramp can come in any size, from a personal single step-conquering version to extended semi-permanent access ramps with hand-rails. The versatility of the Roll-a-Ramp is due to the fact that it is small segments that are riveted together. Each segment braces against the other in an ingenious design to provide a stable, rigid ramp to take any brand of manual or electric wheelchair or scooter. It can then simply roll up for storage or transportation. There are a small number of important accessories. In larger ramps, a centre support stand, which is easily fixed, is required for stability. Positive Locking Pins that release easily can replace rivets in the segments so the ramp can be broken up onto a number of smaller, more easily carried pieces with the strap handle. In very long ramps which may even require a landing, the Roll-a-Ramp platform and hand rails are available. Even Autofold motors can be added to customise your ramp. The Roll-A-Ramp format is only limited by your imagination. And, if your situation changes, you can add length to the ramp with the simple tools provided with your ramp. You don’t have to purchase another ramp to meet your new need. That’s flexibility.
