Deciding Between an Prefabricated Aluminum and a Custom-Built Wooden Ramp
When deciding between an aluminum mobility ramp and a wooden ramp, the choice often comes down to cost, durability, maintenance, and long-term benefits. Below is a comparison:


Best Use Cases
- Choose Aluminum if:
- You need a quick, low-maintenance, and long-lasting solution.
- You may need to relocate or resell the ramp.
- The ramp is for a business or healthcare setting.
- Choose Wood if:
- Aesthetics matter more, and you want a natural look.
- You are comfortable with regular maintenance.
- You prefer a custom-built, permanent solution.
Final Verdict
While wooden ramps may be cheaper upfront and more visually appealing, aluminum ramps provide better long-term value due to durability, lower maintenance costs, and ease of installation. If you are looking for a hospice or medical supply setting, aluminum ramps are typically the better choice because of their longevity and reusability.
