Portable Threshold Ramp for Doorways — Roll-Up vs. Fixed
Not every barrier requires a long ramp. Interior doorway thresholds and small transitions of 3–8 cm call for a compact, portable solution — not a construction project.
MIOR ROLL compact threshold ramp. MIOR indication: 1.0 m (approx. 0.5 ft per side). Always measure first.
The situation
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.
Why measuring matters
Threshold transitions are common in older US homes, rental properties and hotel rooms. A compact threshold ramp avoids permanent modification — important for renters and those needing flexible access solutions at multiple locations.
Practical MIOR Indication

5 cm (approx. 2 in)
Practical MIOR indication
1.0 m (approx. 50 cm up + 50 cm down)
Use case
manual wheelchair with assistance — compact double-sided threshold transition
1:12 comparison (ADA reference)
0.60 m per side
Compact double-sided threshold transition: approx. 50 cm up + 50 cm down. Not a universal ramp rule.
These examples are intended as practical MIOR indications. The correct ramp length depends on the exact height, available space, user, mobility aid and intended use. For more comfortable or guideline-aligned use, a longer ramp may be needed.
How to measure correctly
For a threshold of 5 cm (2 inches), the 1:12 reference gives a ramp length of 60 cm (approx. 24 inches) per side. A compact threshold ramp covers this in a minimal footprint. Measure your threshold height on both sides — entry and exit — before choosing.
Measure with WEXAR
WEXAR measures your threshold height and available floor space with your smartphone. For small transitions, WEXAR helps confirm whether a threshold ramp or a longer portable ramp is the right fit.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a threshold ramp and a full ramp?
A threshold ramp bridges small transitions of 3–8 cm at doorways or interior barriers. A full ramp covers larger height differences at steps and stairs. The right choice depends on your specific barrier height and available floor space.
Do I need to drill or mount a threshold ramp?
No. The MIOR ROLL threshold solution is portable — it lays flat at the threshold and can be moved or stored as needed. No drilling or adhesive required.
Can a threshold ramp be used on both sides of a doorway?
Yes. A threshold ramp can be configured for entry and exit sides. Measure both sides to confirm the height difference and available space on each side.
