Mobilex aluminium doorstep ramp with adjustable legs

DS2176

The Mobilex DS2176 aluminium doorstep ramp with legs is a portable threshold ramp designed for small level differences, door thresholds, single steps and low indoor or outdoor obstacles. It is equipped with three height-adjustable support legs, which allow the ramp height to be adjusted from 3 to 7 cm. This makes DS2176 especially useful where simply placing a flat ramp on a threshold is not enough and stable, adjustable upper support is required. The ramp weighs only 1.55 kg and supports a maximum load of 350 kg.

DS2176 is a medical device. Use it only according to the user manual or product label. The ramp is intended for people using wheelchairs, mobility scooters, walkers, rollators and similar mobility aids.

What is included in set?

The DS2176 set is supplied with the elements required for height adjustment and everyday use.

• 1 × Mobilex DS2176 aluminium doorstep ramp – portable ramp for thresholds and small level differences.
• 3 × adjustable support legs – inserted into dedicated openings at the upper edge of the ramp.
• 1 × user manual – with instructions for setup, use, safety, cleaning and maintenance.
• Ribbed anti-slip surface – designed to support a more stable passage over the obstacle.

What makes the DS2176 ramp different?

Unlike fixed-height threshold ramps, DS2176 has four support points: one lower support edge and three adjustable legs. The legs can be screwed in or out to match the height of the threshold. All three legs must always be set to the same height and used together to provide stable support.

• Lightweight construction – only 1.55 kg, easy to carry and position.
• Maximum load up to 350 kg – suitable for daily home and institutional use.
• Corrosion-resistant aluminium – suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
• Ribbed anti-slip surface – supports a more stable passage over thresholds.

Who is the DS2176 doorstep ramp for?

1. Wheelchair users

The DS2176 adjustable doorstep ramp helps wheelchair users overcome low thresholds, single steps and small differences in floor level. The adjustable legs allow the ramp to be matched more precisely to the obstacle height.

2. Seniors using walkers or rollators

The ramp can reduce the risk of wheels getting stuck on a threshold between a room, hallway, bathroom or entrance area. Its low weight makes it easy to move and set up when needed.

3. Caregivers, families and facilities

DS2176 is useful in homes, apartments, clinics, offices and service premises where thresholds may have different heights and require stable, adjustable support.

Use and threshold selection – 3 to 7 cm

DS2176 is designed for door thresholds, single steps and small level differences. For a single step or a level difference between rooms, one ramp placed on the lower side of the obstacle may be sufficient. For a door threshold that must be crossed from both sides, a second DS2176 ramp of the same type may be required.

Before choosing the ramp, measure the threshold at its highest point. The height must be within the permitted range of 3–7 cm. Do not use the ramp above the maximum permitted height of 7 cm.

How to adjust the height

The three support legs are inserted into dedicated openings at the upper edge of the ramp. Turn each leg clockwise to lower the ramp. Turn each leg counter-clockwise to raise the ramp. All three legs must always be adjusted to the same height.

• All 3 legs must be used – do not support the ramp with only one or two legs.
• All legs must be set equally – uneven adjustment may reduce stability.
• Maximum height: 7 cm – never exceed the permitted threshold height.
• Upper support must match the obstacle height – the top edge must be level with the top of the threshold.
• Lower edge must rest on the lower surface – all support points must be stable before use.

Step-by-step instructions for use

1. Insert the three adjustable support legs into the dedicated openings at the upper edge of the ramp.
2. Set all three legs to the same height.
3. Turn the legs clockwise or counter-clockwise to match the threshold height.
4. Do not exceed the maximum permitted height of 7 cm.
5. Place the upper edge at the top of the obstacle.
6. Place the lower edge on the lower, stable surface.
7. Check that all four support points are stable and do not move.
8. Move slowly over the ramp without sudden movements.
9. Do not exceed the maximum load of 350 kg.
10. Take care not to pinch fingers or other body parts during adjustment and positioning.

Material and construction

The ramp is made of corrosion-resistant aluminium formed into a ribbed profile. The surface is anti-slip and designed for stable passage over low obstacles. The ramp requires very little maintenance, but it should always be checked before use to make sure the driving surface is clean, the legs are correctly positioned and the ramp rests firmly on a stable surface.
