Depending on the type of wood and other specifications, a permanent wheelchair ramp used to reach a height of 30 inches (30 feet long) can cost between $3,500 and $8,000, or between $100 and $250 per linear foot.dditionally, the ADA requirements call for the ramp to have a width of at least 36 inches, edge protection to keep from slipping off, and handrails. When hiring a carpenter, make sure he is aware of the ADA guidelines and has experience building handicap-accessible structures.
Most portable ramps are made of aluminum and are easy to move and store whenever you need. The price of your portable wheelchair ramp will heavily depend on its length, but more often than not, you can find a safe and reliable portable handicap ramp for less than $1,300. On the other hand, if you know you will need a ramp for a long period of time and donât want to bring your ramp inside and outside every time you need it, we highly recommend biting the bullet and installing a fixed handicap ramp.
