DIY wheelchair ramp design
I am sorry if it does not fulfill rule 2.2. I'm sorry if that's the case but i thought you might have some knowledge to help me. Hi all, I'm designing a custom wheelchair ramp for my sister. Due to building restrictions, and I can't use a pre-made portable one. The ramp needs to be foldable and must be mounted to the wall, opening horizontally like a closet bed. A local guy suggested using the aluminum plate 4 meters long, 1 meter wide, with a 2mm aluminum plate supported by iron sticks like https://imgur.com/a/fsjbpBZ Plate bottom supports: Staticly how should i ask him to place iron sticks to be able to support 200-250 kg(mother + sister)? More limit the better. Stick counts both vertical and horizontal could be changed. The image is just a reference. Support legs: Chatgpt says maximum distance between legs should be 1 meter. https://imgur.com/a/WbRbFxX a reference. For 1 meter width i think i should put 2 legs one middle one edge and 3 sets of them 1 meter apart. The problem is that i want them to portable or foldable as well. For portable i have something like 3 of this https://imgur.com/a/3a5gNRs with %17 angle matching the plate to support with different lenghts on the legs. So they could store on the side and once they want to use the ramp they can put the portable supports and unfold the platform on top if. For foldable legs i have no idea how it is can be done. I am open to suggestions any kind. The general requirements are: Ramp mounted to the wall. Ramp should not be too heavy. The aluminum plate is already 50-55 kg's. It should support minimum 200 kgs. Best case scenario would be 350-400. If 2 people pushes. Ramp should go up 68cm's and max lenght is 4 meters. I know most of the stuff i have been writing is not ideal but i am trying my best to help them. I appreciate any suggestion. submitted by /u/Enivecivokke [link] [comments]
