Why Choose the PVI® Multifold Reach?
The Multifold Reach is built for access situations where a conventional portable ramp does not provide enough reach at the upper end. Its defining feature is the extended hook, which PVI designed to clear rear bumpers and similar obstructions during vehicle loading.
The ramp combines that extra reach with a full 30-inch platform, high-traction surface, welded construction and a patented center hinge. It folds like a suitcase and separates into two pieces, making a long ramp more manageable to transport and store.

Ramp Length & Slope
Measure the vertical rise from the lower surface to the top landing before choosing a ramp. A longer ramp generally produces a gentler slope, but it also requires more setup space.
PVI's current instructions provide slope guidance and a safety guide on the ramp. Follow the applicable instructions for the specific mobility device and application rather than choosing a length based only on the ramp's maximum capacity.
Never assume that an 800 lb ramp capacity means every wheelchair or scooter can safely use every length. The complete loaded weight, wheel configuration, rise, slope and setup conditions all matter.
Usage and Safety Information
Inspect the ramp before every use. Confirm that both ramp sections are correctly joined, the locking pins are engaged, the hook is securely positioned and the lower end is stable on the supporting surface.
Use the ramp only on a firm, stable and suitable surface. Keep the full loaded weight within the applicable ramp capacity: 400 lb for a single-axle load or 800 lb for a two-axle load.
Follow PVI's slope recommendations and the mobility device manufacturer's maximum ramp angle. An occupied wheelchair or scooter should only be assisted by a person capable of safely controlling the device and following the applicable instructions.
Keep the ramp dry and free of debris where possible. Do not use the ramp if the platform, hinge, hook, side edges, locking pins or traction surface are damaged.
Use the supplied safety strap when carrying the folded ramp. The ramp sections can be heavy; use safe lifting practices and assistance when necessary.
