Wheelchair Ramp for One Step — Front Door & Entry
You have one step at your front door, side entry or porch — typically 16–18 cm (approx. 6–7 inches) high. You need a portable ramp shown as a practical indication for a manual wheelchair with assistance; other mobility aids require a situation-specific check. Without fixed installation in many temporary situations; always check rental, shared-space or local requirements where relevant.

Portable Threshold Ramp for Doorways — Roll-Up vs. Fixed
You have a raised threshold at an interior or exterior doorway — typically 3–8 cm (1–3 inches). A full ramp is too large. You need a compact, portable threshold ramp that bridges the gap for a wheelchair, walker or mobility scooter.
Practical MIOR Indication
Indication
1.0 m (approx. 50 cm up + 50 cm down)
Step height
5 cm (approx. 2 in)
1:12 comparison: 0.60 m per side
Use case: manual wheelchair with assistance — compact double-sided threshold transition
