Freestanding Aluminum Threshold Ramp

Aluminum Threshold Ramps for Doorway Access

www.discountramps.com is proud to offer these PVI freestanding threshold ramps. These  threshold ramps are self-supporting and professionally designed for most outward swinging door entry ways. A threshold ramp like these helps a wheelchair bridge gaps between almost any uneven surface (mostly doorways) giving it a nice flush and seamless transitioning, directly against the doorway threshold area.  Every single one of these self-supporting ramps is extremely durable as they are made from welded light weight and weather resistant aluminum. What else would you expect from Discount Ramps.com? We provide the largest and most discounted selection of light weight, durable, and safe wheelchair ramps available anywhere!  These new self-supporting threshold ramps from PVI are a prime example of our devotion to offering the best for the least. These doorway ramps are equipped with safety features such as a anti-slip high traction surface which . For your safety Discount Ramps.com LLC and the manufacturer (PVI) recommend  that you keep the capacity at or under 300lbs per axle as that is the maximum capacity of these ramps. Also take note that in this style of wheelchair threshold ramp we offer sizes from 1.5 inches to a 3 inches rise.  These are ideal for allowing a wheelchair to make it through doorways and over surfaces with ease! We highly recommend that you don’t let the ramp be taller than that of the step otherwise your door will not swing open. The top of these ramps should sit flush with the entry way.

If you are unsure of what length ramp you need we recommend that you use our wheelchair ramp calculator to find out the length for you. We created this handy wheelchair ramp length calculator so that our customers can order the right ramp the first time as we know time is money and the headaches of shipping an incompatible ramp and having to wait can be endless.

Freestanding Threshold Ramp against a doorway

We have four different sizes in these PVI ramps. The first model is the SSTH1636-1.5 which is 16 inches long 36 inches wide and has a rise of 1.5 inches. It weighs only 8lbs. Item SSTH2436-2 is 24 inches long and 36 inches wide but has a rise of 2 inches. Thus making the weight of it a little heavier at 12lbs.

Posted by discountramps on October 20, 2009

Portable Pit Stop manufactured by Race Ramps ™

Portable Race Ramp for Pit Stops and Scale

Here at www.discountramps.com we know that if you’re looking at a portable pit stop in some way you are car crazy. This is the portable pit stop featured in the February 2009 issue of car and driver magazine. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers with this new portable pit stop ramp/platform system built by Race Ramps™. This multi-purpose ramp and platform can be used for pitting your race car, displaying your show car or working on your own car. All that you need to do is drive up the ramps and apply the vehicle parking brake. Once you have done that you can remove the middle platform components allowing you to manuever freely under the vehicle to make your changes to the car. When you’re finished servicing or adjusting your vehicle simply place the middle platform sections back into place and move the ramps to the other side which will allow you to get back in the action without having to back your vehicle down the ramps. The Race Ramps™ Portable Pit-stop is made from the highest quality slip-resistant material and can take up to a 6,000 pound vehicle. This ramp and platform system lets you get your car 14 inches in the air to display or work on.  Unlike many other ramps and platform systems this setup uses the same non-skid material that Race Ramps™ has been known for that allows you to safely use the item on almost any surface.

This ramp system is made in the USA and has a one year manufacture warranty. This is the portable pit stop featured in the February 2009 issue of “Car and Driver” magazine, as well as Automobile Magazine, Super Chevy, Perfect Interface, Truck and SUV magazine, SEMA Digital and Hotrod online. This is a revolutionary car ramp and platform system that is able to be fully disassembled allowing for maximum portability. This also means that this is one of the only car ramp platform systems available that lets almost instant access to under the car for quick servicing. EVERYTHING IS MODULAR!

Portable Race Ramp Platform Specifications

The Portable Pit Stop ramp pieces weigh a total of 175 lbs and not one piece weighs more than 40 pounds. This makes moving and setting up this ramp an easy job. No more heavy or sharp-edged steal ramps! The weight capacity of these ramps is 6,000 pounds. You can get product number RR-PPS which is the standard portable ramps without the cut outs for the scale ramps or the RR-PPSR which is the race model and has cut outs to get your vehicle on scales for accurate weight scaling during track times. The Race model also comes with a spacer to fill the cutout when scales are not needed. Both of these Portable Pit stops are 14 inches high and they are 98 to 110 inches long. If your car has a wider wheelbase then 110 inches, contact us and we can make something work for you! You enter the ramp on a ten degree angle so your car does not bottom out.

As you all know, we try our best to inform our customers so that you know all the safety precautions to take with any item we sell so you don’t get hurt. So before using these ramps we ask you to make sure everyone is clear from the ramps. Never use 2 ramps on one side of the vehicle. Always be careful to drive up the ramp with the wheels pointed straight and make sure to apply the parking brake. Once you’re done driving the car up on to the platform and putting the parking brake on we recommend that you verify the vehicle is secure and that it won’t roll in any direction.  It’s important when you’re done with your work, that you slowly back down the ramps to ensure you don’t rip off or damage any body work. When utilizing equipment like this you will want to exercise  extreme caution to keep everyone and everything safe from damage or injury.

Car Scale Ramps

Car Scale Ramps for Race Cars and other vehicles

www.discountramps.com now has car scale race ramps. Our new floor scale ramps are used for putting your low profile race car up on the weight scale providing for an easy transition. We know that at the track you want to be on and off the scale and back on the track this is why these race ramps were specifically engineered to be lightweight portable scale ramps. These lightweight ramps are great for both weekend warriors and race professionals. These ramps are made from a light weight composite material that gives each ramp a slip resistant texture so that you wont have to worry about the vehicle slipping off or spinning the tires on these racing scale ramps. As stated above these car scale ramps are extremely portable and lightweight which means that they are rather easy to store away in your trailer or vehicle. They sit at a 7.8 degree angle so you will not bottom the race car out on the scale itself. You can see an illustration of the ramps’ dimensions below for quick reference.
Race Car Scale Ramp Dimensions
The RR-scale ramps are 14″ long, 12″ wide, and 2.5″ tall. The size of these ramps make them perfect for 15″ race scales that are 2.5″ wide. They have a 1,500lb weight capacity, yet together are lighter than a gallon of paint and allow almost any race vehicle to be driven across them. The RR-Scale ramps also come in a longer version.

The RR-Scale-2 race ramp is 30 inches long 12 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall. It’s longer design provides a more gradual transition for extremely low profile cars and lets the vehicle sit and settle before going on to the race scale. The scale ramps work well for letting your cars weight shift evenly to all four tires before slipping on the race scale for whatever sanctioning body you are with. These RR-Scale ramps have been built to accommodate practically any kind of car whether it be your Circle Track, Auto cross or Drag car. They are made to withstand 1,500 lbs per ramp or 3,000lbs a set and weigh only 5lbs each.

Long Race Car Scale Ramp

At discountramps.com your safety is a priority so before using these ramps you should know that people should be clear of the vehicle as the car rolls up the race ramps. Also, you should make sure there is no damage to the ramps before using them to make a transition to the scale. Be sure that you use only a single pair of scale ramps, do not use them as two on one side of the vehicle. When you drive up the ramp make sure that once you reach the top and you are resting on the scale that you set the parking brake. If you’re going to use the race ramps to work on the car make sure the car is set properly and always use jack stands if you’re going under the car. When your done weighing or working on the car it is very important to not race off the ramp because it may damage the body work to the automobile.
