EZee Life EZ8RGT 8-Foot Multifold Ramp

The EZee Life 8-foot multifold ramp is the EZ8RGT: an 8 ft (2.44 m) aluminum portable wheelchair ramp with grip tape, a 29 in (74 cm) internal width, and a 600 lb (272 kg) rating. Westin Healthcare delivers it across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.

EZ8RGT is an EZee Life code, not an EZ-ACCESS Trifold AS code. The 8 ft EZ-ACCESS trifold is TFAS08 on the EZ-Access Suitcase Trifold AS Ramp and is rated 800 lb (363 kg). This page is the EZee Life grip-tape multifold. It is a portable aid for a short rise, not a modular building ramp.

Who this ramp is for

This multifold ramp is for a household that wants an 8 ft grip-tape pack at a 600 lb (272 kg) rating, and that can lift about 51 lb (22.9 kg). Families usually call us when they already know the EZee Life EZ8RGT code, or when they want a Canadian-distributed multifold rather than the EZ-ACCESS 800 lb trifold.

If you want the 800 lb EZ-ACCESS 8 ft trifold, start with the SUITCASE Trifold AS. Sister EZee Life lengths are the EZ5RGT 5-foot and the EZ10RGT 10-foot.

• 8 ft (2.44 m) usable length, 29 in (74 cm) internal width
• 600 lb (272 kg) rating on the HPU EZee Life sheet
• Net weight 51 lb (22.9 kg); folded about 48 x 14.5 x 6.3 in

Length, slope, and surface

This page is the 8 ft EZ8RGT only. The HPU EZee Life sheet does not print a slope ratio or a maximum rise. Stay inside the slope the wheelchair or scooter maker allows. A common public starting point is the 1:12 ADA Standard. Confirm the ratio with local codes.

The walking surface is applied grip tape with side rails. Sweep the tape before you use it if dirt or slush is on it. Do not invent an all-weather promise the maker did not print.

Folding and portability

The EZ8RGT is a multifold. The HPU sheet prints a folded pack about 48 x 14.5 x 6.3 in (122 x 37 x 16 cm) and an unfolded size about 96 x 29.3 x 2 in. Net weight is 51 lb (22.9 kg). That is a two-person lift for many households.

EZee Life multifold or EZ-ACCESS trifold

The EZee Life EZ8RGT is a 600 lb (272 kg) grip-tape multifold at 8 ft. The EZ-Access Suitcase Trifold AS 8 ft (TFAS08) is an 800 lb (363 kg) applied-surface trifold that splits into two 25 lb (11.3 kg) halves. Choose EZ-ACCESS if capacity and a current maker spec sheet matter more. Choose EZee Life if you specifically need EZ8RGT.

If 8 ft is more than you need, see the Suitcase Singlefold AS in 2 to 6 ft, or the Drive single fold.

Funding help for a wheelchair ramp in Ontario

Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) does not fund ramps, so plan around other routes. The March of Dimes Canada Home and Vehicle Modification Program is the main Ontario funding source for home accessibility changes like ramps, and Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), the Ontario Renovates program in some municipalities, extended health plans, and community organizations can also help. A ramp may also qualify as a home accessibility or medical expense on a Canadian tax return in some situations. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through.

Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA

Westin's own team delivers this ramp across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. We bring it in, show you how it folds and how to place it, and walk through the use notes before we leave.

Frequently asked questions

What Length of Ramp Do I Need?

The EZee Life EZ8RGT is the 8 ft (2.44 m) length. Sister codes are EZ5RGT at 5 ft and EZ10RGT at 10 ft. The HPU sheet does not print a rise table. Measure the rise, then stay inside the slope the wheelchair or scooter maker allows.

How Steep Can a Wheelchair Ramp Be?

EZee Life does not print a slope ratio for EZ8RGT on the HPU sheet. A common public starting point is the 1:12 ADA Standard. Confirm the ratio with local codes and with the wheelchair or scooter maker.

Do I Need a Permit for a Wheelchair Ramp in Ontario?

A permanent or semi-permanent exterior wheelchair ramp in Ontario can need a municipal building permit. A portable multifold used as a temporary aid is a different question. Check with the local building department before you treat this ramp as a fixed entry.

Is the EZ8RGT the Same as the EZ-Access 8 Ft Trifold?

The EZee Life EZ8RGT is not the EZ-ACCESS SUITCASE TFAS08. EZ8RGT is a 600 lb (272 kg) grip-tape multifold. TFAS08 on the Trifold AS is an 800 lb (363 kg) applied-surface trifold that splits into two 25 lb halves.

Will a Portable Wheelchair Ramp Fit in a Car?

Are There Handrails for This Ramp?

The EZee Life EZ8RGT sheet shows side rails on the ramp, not a removable handrail kit. If you need a portable ramp with optional two-line handrails, see the EZ-Access Gateway 3G.
