People choose wheelchairs for ability to continue their lives. Wheelchairs can provide convenience but we also need support from all levels of society in using wheelchairs.

Wheelchair ramps are very important in terms of accessibility. As an example, if there is no wheelchair ramp beside the staircase into the mall or movie theater or theater, these places will not be accessible to these people. People using wheelchairs are unlikely to utilize such locations, according to NingboBaihen.

Allow us to briefly touch on the history of electric wheelchair ramps. Although there are no exact details on this issue, it is believed that ramps similar to the electric wheelchair ramps used today were utilized during the construction of the Egyptian pyramids, says the NingboBaichen. In addition, there are rumors that the ancient Greeks used ramps to get past ships on land.

NingboBaichen say that it has actually been established from research that power wheelchair ramps were used in China in 525 B.C. In the early 1900s, a ramp was used at Grand Central Station in New York City, but this ramp was mainly used to transport passengers’ luggage. After the end of World War II, people began to recognize the importance of available ramps, NingboBaichen said. During these years, the demand for power wheelchair ramps increased as some professionals were limited by the use of power wheelchairs, the Chinese power wheelchair supplier said. In the mid-19th century, people began to suggest that public spaces should be used more often, says NingboBaichen. Eventually, in the late 20th century, the Americans with Disabilities Act came into effect and wheelchair ramps became the norm.
