EZ-Access Suitcase Singlefold AS Ramp

The EZ-Access Suitcase Singlefold AS Ramp is a 2 to 6 ft (0.61 to 1.83 m) portable wheelchair ramp with an applied slip-resistant surface and an 800 lb (363 kg) rating. Westin Healthcare delivers it across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.

EZ-ACCESS still sells this line new as the SUITCASE Singlefold AS Ramp (models SFAS02 through SFAS06). Canadian dealer cards still call it the Suitcase Advantage Series. It folds once like a suitcase, then splits into two light halves when you pull the hinge pins. It is a temporary or semi-permanent aid for curbs, one to three steps, or some vehicles.

Who this ramp is for

This suitcase ramp is for a household that wants two easy carry pieces and an applied black surface, and that can work with a 2 to 6 ft length. Families usually call us when one person can lift 6 to 15 lb (2.7 to 6.8 kg) per half, but a 7 or 8 ft one-piece suitcase is too long to store.

If you want an extruded one-piece suitcase that goes to 8 ft, see the EZ-Access Suitcase Singlefold Ramp. If you need 5 to 10 ft in a three-fold pack, see the EZ-Access Suitcase Trifold AS Ramp. If you want a perforated 600 lb fold, see the Drive Single Fold Wheelchair Scooter Ramp.

• 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 ft usable length, 29.5 in (75 cm) usable width
• 800 lb (363 kg) rating for a wheelchair or scooter, as EZ-ACCESS prints it
• Two carry sections, 6 to 15 lb (2.7 to 6.8 kg) each

Length, slope, and surface

Use Size to pick 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 feet. EZ-ACCESS prints usage guidelines, not a hard rise limit: 2 and 3 ft for curbs and 1 step; 4 ft for curbs and 1-2 steps; 5 ft for curbs, 1-2 steps, and some minivans; 6 ft for 1-3 steps and some minivans and SUVs. Always stay inside the slope the wheelchair or scooter maker allows.

The EZ-ACCESS Incline Calculator treats 1:12 as the ADA Standard and also offers 1:10 (IRC Acceptable), 1:8, and 1:6. The maker says start with the ADA Standard and confirm the ratio with local codes. The printed incline chart is a guideline only. EZ-ACCESS tells you to use this ramp with a qualified helper and a lap belt at any incline.

The walking surface is an applied slip-resistant texture. That is the Advantage / AS surface. Side curbs are typically 2 7/16 in. The top plate is fixed, with holes for pins. The bottom plates self-adjust. The surface may be slippery when wet. Do not use it if ice, snow, dirt, leaves, or debris cover the tread.

Folding and portability

The SUITCASE Singlefold AS folds once. Folded length equals usable length: 24 in on the 2 ft, up to 72 in on the 6 ft. Folded width is 15 in (38 cm). Folded height is 4.5 in (11 cm). Flexible handles sit on each half.

Removing two hinge pins (or two bolts, as the FAQ also says) splits the ramp into two sections. EZ-ACCESS rates each half at 6 lb (2.7 kg) on the 2 ft, 8 lb (3.6 kg) on the 3 ft, 10 lb (4.5 kg) on the 4 ft, 13 lb (5.9 kg) on the 5 ft, and 15 lb (6.8 kg) on the 6 ft. That is the lightest carry in the suitcase family.

EZ-Access Suitcase Singlefold AS Ramp specifications

These figures are for EZ-ACCESS SUITCASE Singlefold AS models SFAS02 through SFAS06 as printed on the current ezaccess.com table and spec sheet SCSFAS.

Weight capacity 800 lb (363 kg). Usable width 29.5 in (75 cm) on every length. Folded width 15 in (38 cm). Folded height 4.5 in (11 cm). Typical safety curb 2 7/16 in (62 mm). Material welded aluminum with an applied slip-resistant surface. Warranty for the original purchaser is EZ-ACCESS lifetime limited on parts and components. That term excludes the powder-coated finish and the applied non-skid tape.

Ramp length

Use Size to pick 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft, or 6 Feet. That is the same length set as Select Ramp Size. The 2 ft is SFAS02. The 3 ft is SFAS03. The 4 ft is SFAS04. The 5 ft is SFAS05. The 6 ft is SFAS06. This line does not go to 7 or 8 ft.

Ask us if you need the SUITCASE Top Lip Extension. That kit lengthens the top lip from 3 in to 9 in. EZ-ACCESS reduces the rating to 500 lb (227 kg) when the TLE is on.

Advantage suitcase or Signature suitcase

The Advantage / Singlefold AS suitcase uses an applied black surface, splits into two halves, and stops at 6 ft. The Signature / Singlefold uses an extruded tread, stays one piece, and goes to 8 ft. Both are 800 lb EZ-ACCESS suitcase ramps. Choose AS if two light halves matter more. Choose Signature if you want 7 or 8 ft in one piece.

If you need more than 6 ft in a shorter pack, see the SUITCASE Trifold AS. If the rise is only a door sill, start with the Transitions Modular Entry Ramp.

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.
