Curbs, landings, and single steps can create real problems during deliveries, material handling, and short access situations. That is where a portable curb ramp can be useful.
Express Ramps provides ramp solutions nationwide across the USA, including the TRAVERSE® Portable Curb Ramp. This ramp is designed for curbs, landings, single steps, hand trucks, carts, and material handling needs. It is not ADA-compliant, so it should not be used as an ADA access ramp where code compliance is required. Let’s talk about portable ramps and why they are useful.
A curb ramp gives users a more controlled way to move items or equipment over a low raised edge. This can be helpful for delivery drivers, warehouse teams, maintenance staff, homeowners, event crews, and small businesses that deal with regular loading and unloading.
Without a ramp, people often end up lifting loaded carts or hand trucks by force. That can slow the job down and increase the chance of dropped items, damaged goods, or strain. A portable ramp offers a more practical option for repeated tasks.
It is also useful because it can be moved where it is needed. Not every location requires permanent installation. Some work areas only need temporary access during deliveries or short-term use.
The TRAVERSE® Portable Curb Ramp is designed for use with curbs and steps up to 5.75 inches. Its usable size is 27 inches long by 26.5 inches wide, and it weighs 15 pounds.
The ramp features a sturdy, single-piece design, making setup simple. Place it on the curb, landing, or single step, make sure it is positioned securely, and it is ready for use. The built-in carrying handle makes it easier to move from one spot to another.
This ramp is a practical choice for people who need a portable solution instead of a fixed installation.
The TRAVERSE® ramp is well-suited for:
For businesses that receive frequent deliveries, a portable ramp can make daily loading tasks more manageable. For delivery drivers, it can reduce the need to lift carts over low curbs. For homeowners, it can help with the short-term movement of wheeled items over raised surfaces.
The TRAVERSE® Portable Curb Ramp may be helpful in certain short, non-ADA situations involving wheelchairs, but it is important to use caution.
This product is not ADA-compliant. It should not replace a properly designed ADA ramp where compliance is required. Before using any portable curb ramp with a wheelchair, consider the curb height, slope, surface condition, user ability, and whether assistance is needed.
For public access, commercial access, or any regulated environment, ADA requirements should always be reviewed before choosing a ramp.
Some customers look for curb ramps for vehicle-related use, but the right choice depends on the vehicle, load, surface, and ramp specifications.
The TRAVERSE® Portable Curb Ramp is best suited for hand trucks, carts, curbs, landings, single steps, and material handling. It should not be assumed suitable for every vehicle application without checking the product details and intended use.
If your main purpose involves vehicles, always confirm that the ramp is appropriate for the weight and movement required.
Before choosing a curb ramp, start with the height of the curb or step. The TRAVERSE® Curb Ramp is intended for use up to 5.75 inches, so measuring the height first matters.
Next, consider what will be moving across the ramp. A hand truck, delivery cart, wheelchair, or equipment load will each have different requirements. Width, stability, surface grip, and portability should all be reviewed.
You should also think about how often the ramp will be moved. If it needs to travel between job sites or delivery points, a lighter ramp with a handle may be more useful than a heavier fixed option.
