I know you posted a long time ago, but in case you get updates, I wanted to thank you for your video. I became disabled and though I made my own ramp too, I have struggled with its weight and storage in the car next to my mobility scooter (I cannot lift or bend over much). Because of this, I rarely leave the house alone...which means I rarely leave the house period. Separating the ramp into pieces solves the weight problem, and I also love the use of the ratchet straps to attach to the car for stability. I'm looking forward to constructing this ramp soon and getting a bit more freedom. My heart goes out to you and your wife for all you have been through. Please know your thoughtfulness and support of your wife touched me deeply and your ingenuity and willingness to share what you made will also help many others who can't afford what the market has to offer.

Skitty Cat 💜 I Love this nice conversation,

This is a great video. No long cheap introduction, to the point, no music and an idea that is awesome. This is what a DIY KZread video should be. I will see if i can make a ramp just like this for my mom (Parkinson's). Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Built same for $60. Home Depot made all the cuts, took me about 2 hours to bolt up and test. Good to go.

I’m having some health issues with my joints, but we had a family trip planned for New York City. This kzread.infoUgkxuxJwamLFanm476LC5WPeTouyyU1GXomC was perfect! It’s lightweight enough that my friend could carry it up or down stairs when we needed to. (I can walk very short distances) It was comfortable for me to sit in, I would say if you’re super tall it might be a little cramped. I’m 5’1” and the foot rests were the perfect height. This may not be the best one for long term use, you get what you pay for, but for something that fits our budget that gives me accessibility while we deal with my health this was amazing.

I'm so grateful for your video! Thank you so much for taking the time in making this video. My mother has Multiple Sclerosis (MS). She has a power wheel chair but I had no way of transporting it. One of our Grandchildren had an sports event coming up at a large arena out of town. She really wanted to go. I started searching online and stumbled apon your video. My husband and I made this a couples project! We had fun, had mistakes, and learned alot, as we aren't even close to being carpenters. ;) We completed the ramp just in time for our Granddaughter's event and the ramp worked perfectly. My husband was not able to go due to his work so I set up the ramp myself and maneuvered the wheelchair with no problems at all! And my Mother was tickled to death and so excited to be able to go to this event! Now future events will be a breeze and I'll have one happy Mama! Again, THANK YOU FRED❣️

Renee Veatch that is so wonderful to hear. I'm glad it worked out for you. I ended up sticking some grip tape on the plywood for better traction. Sometimes if it was drizzling or raining while loading the plywood got a bit slippery, that made a huge difference. All the best there and God Bless.

Thank you so much Fred. I was put on perm disability last year and my condition is deteriorating so now will need a mobility chair and a way to transport. Since losing my income of course cost is essential in everything I do. It was so kind of you to think of others while dealing with your own families devastating diagnosis. God bless you and your wife.

What a nice ramp you made, wonderful! Simple and effective, and very low cost. Fred, you are a very handy person. I would never have thought of leaving the two wood sections unattached so they are more portable. Very clever folding solution. Thanks for showing us all the details like the lag bolts and the hinges used. This was such a pleasant video to watch, and you are a great teacher. Many thanks!!! Greetings from California!

I made one using your design. It worked great. Thanks, Fred.

Fred Dueck, you are a kind and thoughtful man for sharing your ingenious and affordable solution. For some, you solved an insurmountable problem. Without the mobility your solution gives, too many suffer too much. I had the good fortune to buy a steel carrier from the lower 48 states and trailer hitch from my local U-Haul. The freight to Alaska was $170. I wish I had seen your solution earlier. It might have saved me $400.

Thank you, and God bless you for your generosity and thoughtfulness, Fred! I plan to build your clever solution for my elderly mom's foldable power chair. By the way, I'm a tech writer and trainer by trade, and your instructions and presentation are both first-class. Thank you, again, for sharing your invention. You and your wife will be in my prayers.

I wanted to think you for taking the time to make this video! I have MS and because we were unable afford a lift or ramp for my scooter I don't take it. My husband takes me to the Dr. with a small wheelchair that he pushes me in. While Medicare will pay for the scooter, I guess they don't think it is necessary for you to leave your home with it. I believe I am a very lucky woman to have the husband I do and I think your wife is very lucky in her pick of husbands. For Bless you and your wife and thank you for opening another door for us.

What a good practical idea! I am moved by your resourcefulness and resiliency in coping with ALS...You are a gift to this world.

That is awesome. I don't have the money to purchase a ramp, so this is a perfect solution. Because of my back and knee issues, I have some friends that will be happy to build it for me. Thank you very much for providing this video.

I ran across your video looking for a way to add a ramp to my SUV for hauling landscaping rock since the rock place wanted such an incredible amount of money to deliver and place it. I got a rock dolly for $170 and will make this ramp myself and get all the rocks I want! It's nowhere near as important as what you're using it for, but I wanted you to know that you've been helpful to me. I wish you and your wife every happiness.

Wow. Wished I had seen this very helpful video before purchasing a very expensive ramp outfit that came with the mobility scooter. You could have bought a newish car with the money spent on the outfit. My husband will be very upset when he sees your video, as he is good with woodworking. Anyhow, thanks Fred you are a Star for making this video, which will help so many folk with what, as you say, with respect to impaired mobility, can be a very expensive business. God Bless you.

Thank you Fred. A very clever and inexpensive design. My wife was diagnosed with ALS in May so I know what you're going through right now. I'd never thought much about disability devices before, and am now finding everything is so expensive, and a lot is not covered by insurance. I'm not to the van and wheelchair stage yet, but know it is only a matter of time. Thank you for sharing, keep your spirits up and I will keep you and your wife in my thoughts.

Ingenious! I'm going to build one for my wife's power chair, as soon as she gets it. Much more practical and lighter weight than big metal ramps. Thanks so much for posting it!

Thanks my wife is a stroke survivor and you idea was great, I now no longer have to push her in a standard chair. I have been doing this for 7 years and now she can have more mobility when we go places, especially on vacations. Blessings and prayers to you and your wife.

Fred, you're a man after my own heart! I"m half Scottish and half Mennonite - two of the most frugal and practical peoples in the world - and this video continues the grand tradition. I was really balking at having to pay 2 or 3 thousand dollars and you've given me the inspiration!

Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us. Wishing you and your wife the best from Connecticut

Thank you so much from Ontario! I’ve been looking at getting a ramp for my car as I still have some mobility and just want to be able to get my manual chair in and out of the car so I can be more independent. I read a comment about how you added grip tape so I will try to add that as we have the same type of weather. Sending love to you and your family!

You don’t know how much this will help me and many others! Thank you so much!

Fred, thank you for this video. My husband also has ALS and we built this ramp per your guidance so that now he can go with me everywhere ~ there will come a time when we need to purchase another vehicle, but your video pushed that into the future. We did make a modification because the weight of the power chair was opening up the hinges. We got a 12" steel sleeve at a metal shop and bolted it to the end of one of the 2X4s ~ now I can just insert the other 2X4 and the weight of the chair is on the solid metal sleeve. Thanks again for sharing

Thanks, Later on I had to weld my hinges so the knuckles did not bend open

Im sure your wife appreciates everything you do for her.

Good job, Fred. After screwing around with a small utility trailer and a VERY used hydrauic lift platform that had issues, we finally just opted for pushing my mom's wheelchair (very similar to the one in this video) right into the back of the minivan. Soooo much easier! Should have just done that to begin with. For what its worth, rather than build a ramp, we repurposed a folding aluminum ATV ramp that our neighbor kindly donated. Depending on what's available, keep that option in mind too.

the 2x4 are a few inches shorter than 8 ft. to alow the plywood to feather out to nothing at the bottom. yes the Rachel strap holds the plywood nicely in place and the 2x4 never have moved on me inspite the fact that I often use it in winter fish hard packed snow or ice, I have thought of screwing a piece of sheet metal at the end of the 2x4s to alow it to bite into the snow pack for added security, but like I said the have never moved on me.

I watched your video two years ago to keep in the back of my mind when necessity came into play. Now, an affordable/ portable/ inexpensive ramp is needed immediately at our daughter's home. The difference is a heavier application - me in my complex power wheelchair @ approx. 615 lb. Fred, you're a Saint for sharing your amazing and affordable idea. Thank You!

Thank you, Fred! I will be making this today for my husband! Bless you and your wife.

Thanks for posting this idea. I'm lucky enough to already have a hoist fitted but your ramp design is a worthy alternative. One thing that you could mention is that your ramp and chair can unloaded in about 20 seconds - whereas even the most powerful hoist will take a couple of minutes. Best wishes from UK.

Great job Fred, I also live in manitoba and I have given up on those cheap hitch racks from grand forks and Fargo. We have just returned from the south where I purchased one of those expensive hitch racks. Even thou I can’t afford it I’m glad I did. It was the most confident drive home we have ever had. I wish I had to room for a ramp like yours it would also be perfect. Great job!

Ohhhh my gosh thank you so much. I’m getting a mobility trike because of not being able to get around much anymore. This is a GREAT IDEA. I so appreciate you putting this on here

What a great idea, I used your idea to build a ramp for my dog . I just added carpet so she could walk up without slipping and handles and latches for easier transport and carrying , it is fantastic, thank you for sharing your wonderful concept

I'm in the process of building one right now. I have home-made drawers in the back of my SUV, so I needed to get the ramps to attach to the drawer unit itself. I decided to use French Cleats. One half of the cleats I have attached to the drawer faces, and the other half to the 2x4s. Works great. Instead of running the side straps all along the length of the three pieces of ply, I just put the straps near each joint, including the middle. So three across for each joint. Thanks for a great tutorial!

So glad I stumbled on your video today; this is just what I've been looking for and the price is right for my tight budget. I'm already thinking how I could adapt it to my vehicle, and maybe paint the business side with play sand in the paint for traction in wet weather. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. All the best to you and your family. Thank-you for sharing.

Thank you for this video. I play in a band and often have to load very heavy rack equipment into my Ford Escape by myself. I went to Home Depot and bought two 24" x 48" pre-cut 1/2" plywood pieces, then went to the plumbing section and bought four 48" (1/2") pipes that were threaded along with two connectors to screw them together. I tried the 2x4 method with the hinges but didn't have success...and felt like the pipes would be a stronger alternative. I can now easily load my equipment with no trouble.

I didn't expect to actually like this video or think I'd take anything from it. You sir are helpful!! Thank you. God bless you

Thank you for the video. Ratchet straps idea was amazing idea!!

I made a much beefier version of this to get a 250lb Pride Maxima Scooter into the back of a 2014 Kia Sedona. Due to the weight of the scooter, I left my 2x4's a single piece. And due to my inability to back the thing up correctly, I added 6" high plywood curbs to keep it from running off the side by accident. Even adding in the costs of two heavy duty ratchet straps to hold the scooter in place while I am driving, it cost under $100.00. I am heading out on a trip tomorrow, but when I get back I will email you pictures. (Ps I have really bad knees, so I made a paddle extension stick to push the power paddle. this allows me to load it while I am scooting along beside it on a mechanic's stool. :D)
