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.
