Palmer Wheelchair Ramp Kits

My name is Chuck Palmer and I am a retired engineer. I have been building these wood wheelchair ramp kits since 2010. You will see that I have included construction instructions on the ramp designs page. These ramp kits provide a variety of ramp designs. Ultimately, they can be built as an inexpensive Do-It-Yourself project.

Palmer wheelchair ramp kits consist of the critical top and bottom pieces of the ramp. These allow the wheelchair or scooter to safely get on and off the ramp. The universal aluminum top and bottom brackets allow the use of low-cost standard lengths of lumber. These brackets are used for straight ramps, doorway threshold ramps and ‘L’ shaped ramps. A landing allows installation of an ‘L’ shaped ramp. This is when there is not enough room for a long straight ramp.

I created these ramp kits as an inexpensive alternative to what is out there. These ramps are needed when someone has a critical physical problem that needs addressing. Most often, this decision needs to be made during a stressful time. To make it easier for you, there is a lot of knowledge about wheelchair ramp kits on this website. I suggest you look under the ‘Ramp Details’ tab above. As a result, you will have all the information needed to choose the correct ramp solution for your situation, whether it is a kit ramp or not.

You will see how easy it is to build a safe wood ramp once you watch the construction video on the home page. Palmer wheelchair ramp kits can be used with pre-cut lumber and bolts that can be purchased from a Home Center or lumberyard.

Important Facts

Create a ramp design based on the physical topology of your home. It should create a gentle slope for a caregiver to easily get an occupied wheelchair in and out of a house.
Use our step-by-step wheelchair ramp specifications to easily build a ramp in a couple of hours. You can buy pre-cut lengths of 2 x 12 lumber and the bolts. The specifications also show how to easily add handrails to our ramp.

A wood ramp can be made in sections allowing an individual to build a ramp in nearly any length. I developed these wheelchair ramp kits because I feel that other ramps options are way too expensive.
