From Medical Bed Rental to Custom Aluminum Ramp Installation in Columbia, SC

This wheelchair ramp installation in Columbia, South Carolina, began when a customer visited Mobility Plus Northeast Columbia to explore a medical bed rental for his wife. While viewing the bed in our attached warehouse, he also noticed our manual wheelchairs and ramp systems, leading to a conversation about additional ways to improve accessibility around his home.

He selected the medical bed and asked if we could deliver it that afternoon. During the same-day white-glove delivery, our technicians also brought out a manual wheelchair he had been interested in. After his wife tried the chair and was comfortable, he decided to purchase the wheelchair.

Once the medical bed delivery was complete, our technicians performed an in-home wheelchair ramp evaluation at the back entrance.

Designing a Ramp Around Safety & Affordability

The back entrance had an approximately 19-inch rise, and the customer wanted a safer way to help his wife access their backyard, which she loves spending time in. The ramp would also provide the family with a safer way to enter and exit the home, as they did not currently have an accessible entrance at the front door.

Because the customer would be personally transporting and assisting his wife up and down the ramp, our team focused on finding the right balance between safety, usability, and affordability.

We recommended a 15-foot aluminum modular wheelchair ramp using the EZ-ACCESS PATHWAY 3G system. This durable, low-maintenance solution provided a practical way to improve access to both the home and backyard while keeping the initial project within the customer's budget.

The customer was also considering additional accessibility improvements, including a stairlift and grab bars, so we wanted to address his immediate needs without unnecessarily increasing the initial cost.

A Ramp Designed for Today with Room to Expand

We also discussed the option to add additional ramp sections in the future.

Our team documented the home's existing configuration and knows the additional ramp length that would be needed to extend the system toward an ADA-compliant slope. If the customer decides he would like to make the ramp longer, he can contact Mobility Plus Northeast Columbia, and we can provide a quote for the additional sections needed.

This gives the family an affordable solution today while allowing them to expand their home accessibility system as their needs and budget change.

Installation & Final Result

The customer received his ramp quote the same day as the medical bed delivery and ramp evaluation and approved the project the following day. We scheduled the installation around his and his wife's availability.

The following week, our technicians completed the 15-foot aluminum wheelchair ramp installation in Columbia, SC. The finished ramp provides a safer and more convenient path for his wife to enter and exit the home while also allowing her to enjoy their backyard.

During the installation, our technicians also showed the customer several transfer belt options. He decided to purchase one of each type to provide additional support when assisting his wife.

The customer was very pleased with the completed ramp and told our technicians that he may contact us soon about a stairlift installation and additional grab bars.
