Rubber ramps for home & business access: the complete Australian guide for 2026
If you’re looking for a safe, practical, and affordable access solution for your home, workplace, or aged care property, a rubber ramp could be exactly what you need. Whether you’re helping a family member navigate a doorway step, improving wheelchair access at your business, or meeting NDIS home modification requirements — a high-quality rubber ramp delivers immediate results with zero fuss.
At EZY Access Solutions, every rubber ramp is crafted from 100% recycled, compression-resistant rubber — engineered to handle real Australian conditions including heat, rain, and constant foot traffic. Available in standard ready-to-use sizes or fully custom-made to your exact measurements, their range covers every access need across residential, commercial, aged care, and NDIS properties Australia-wide.
What Is a Rubber Ramp?
A rubber ramp is a portable accessibility ramp made from heavy-duty recycled rubber, designed to bridge the gap between two surfaces at different heights — such as a doorway threshold, a kerb, or an internal step. They require no installation, no tools, and no tradesperson. Simply place it, and it works.
EZY Access Solutions manufactures their rubber ramps in Melbourne at their Epping workshop, using 100% recycled rubber that is compression-resistant, non-slip, and built to last. Every ramp is tested for quality, durability, and performance before it leaves the workshop.
Types of Rubber Ramps from EZY Access Solutions
EZY Access Solutions offers a full range of standard and custom rubber ramp products to suit every access need:
1. Standard Straight Rubber Ramps — Ready-to-use ramps in 900mm and 1000mm widths, with gradient options of 1:5, 1:8, and 1:10. Perfect for doorways and step access.
2. Rubber Ramps with Side Wings — Straight ramps with angled side wings for a smoother transition from all directions.
3. Custom Straight Rubber Ramps — Made to your exact step height, width, and gradient when standard sizes don’t fit.
4. Custom Wing Rubber Ramps — Fully custom-built with side wings for wider or irregular entry points.
5. Custom Rubber Steps — Purpose-built rubber steps where a ramp isn’t suitable but safer stepping is needed.
6. Custom Rubber Infill — Precision-cut rubber to fill gaps in existing steps or landings.
7. Custom Rubber Shower Base — A waterproof, slip-resistant base for accessible bathroom and shower modifications.
Why Choose Rubber Over Other Materials?
No Installation Required — Simply place the ramp against your step and it’s ready to use. No tools, no trades, no delays.
100% Recycled & Eco-Friendly — Every EZY Access rubber ramp is made from recycled rubber — the environmentally responsible choice.
All-Weather Performance — Handles heat, rain, and heavy foot traffic without cracking, fading, or losing grip.
Non-Slip Surface — Textured slip-resistant surface keeps users safe even in wet conditions.
NDIS & Aged Care Compatible — Trusted by occupational therapists, NDIS providers, and aged care facilities across Australia.
Portable & Flexible — Heavy enough to stay in place during use, but easy to move or reposition when needed.
Where Can Rubber Ramps Be Used?
Rubber ramps are incredibly versatile and can be used across a wide range of settings including home entrances and doorways, aged care and disability accommodation, offices, retail shops and warehouses, healthcare facilities, schools and public buildings, and loading docks and commercial entry points.
Their weather-resistant construction means they perform just as well on an exposed front doorstep as they do inside a healthcare facility.
How to Choose the Right Size & Gradient
Choosing the right rubber ramp comes down to your step height and available floor space. EZY Access Solutions offers three standard gradient options:
1. 1:5 Gradient — Steeper ramp for smaller spaces. Suitable for lower step heights where floor space is limited.
2. 1:8 Gradient — The most popular option. A balanced slope that works for most wheelchairs, walkers, and scooters.
3. 1:10 Gradient — Gentler slope for maximum comfort. Recommended for independent wheelchair users.
If none of the standard sizes fit your exact step height or doorway width, EZY Access Solutions can build a custom rubber ramp to your precise measurements — just send through your step height, width, and a photo.
Is a Rubber Ramp Right for You?
Not every access challenge is the same, and not every property needs the same solution. Rubber ramps are the right choice when you need something fast, reliable, and easy to use — without any construction or permanent changes to your property. They are particularly well suited for:
Renters & Tenants — No drilling, no fixing, no damage to the property. Simply place and remove as needed.
Elderly Residents — Immediate access support at home with no wait time for construction or council approvals.
NDIS Participants — A quick, compliant, and funding-approved access solution that can be ordered and delivered fast.
Businesses & Commercial Properties — Meet accessibility standards without major renovation, disruption, or cost.
Smaller Step Heights — When the height difference is manageable with a ramp rather than requiring a full construction project.
If your step height is larger or your access needs are more complex, EZY Access Solutions also offers timber ramps, aluminium threshold ramps, and handrails — and their team will always point you in the right direction honestly, without pushing you toward something you don’t need.
Standard vs Custom: Which One Do You Need?
One of the most common questions EZY Access Solutions gets asked is whether to go with a standard off-the-shelf rubber ramp or order a custom-made one. The answer depends entirely on your step height, doorway width, and the space available around your entry point.
Choose a standard rubber ramp if:
— Your step height falls within a common range and your doorway is 900mm or 1000mm wide.
— You need a solution quickly and want it delivered fast.
— You are working with a standard straight or winged entry point.
Choose a custom rubber ramp if:
— Your step height or width doesn’t match standard sizing.
— Your entry point has an unusual shape, angle, or layout.
— You need a specific gradient for a wheelchair or mobility scooter user.
— You need a rubber infill, shower base, or custom step solution unique to your space.
Care & Maintenance Tips
Rubber ramps are low-maintenance by nature — but a little care keeps yours performing at its best:
01. Clean Regularly. Rinse with water and mild detergent to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemical solvents.
02. Check for Wear & Damage. Inspect the surface periodically for cracks or worn edges, especially on high-traffic ramps.
03. Keep It Positioned Correctly. Ensure the ramp sits flush against the step at all times to avoid creating a trip hazard.
04. Store Safely If Removed. Store flat in a dry location away from direct sunlight to prevent warping.
05. Contact EZY Access If Something’s Not Right. The team will help you find the best solution fast.
