Product Overview
PVI Bariatric Multifold Ramp
Heavy-Duty Portable Folding Aluminum Ramp – 36" Wide for Extra Stability, Supports Up to 800 lbs for Bariatric & Larger Mobility Needs
The PVI Bariatric Multifold Ramp (BAR series) is the reinforced, heavy-duty version of the popular PVI Multifold Ramp from Prairie View Industries—specifically built for bariatric users, wider wheelbases, and higher weight requirements. It separates into two pieces for easier carrying, folds compactly like a suitcase with a closure strap to lock panels, and uses a simple pin-rotation system for quick unlock/lock. This makes it highly portable for temporary access over steps, thresholds, or moderate rises—ideal for homes, travel, vehicles, or situations needing robust support without permanent installation. With its extra-wide 36" platform, anti-slip high-traction surface, full stability design, and 800 lbs capacity (400 lbs single axle / 800 lbs two axles), it provides safe, confident access for heavier wheelchairs, scooters, power chairs, and users.
