Not every ramp installation has to be permanent. In many cases, a temporary wheelchair ramp is exactly what’s needed to provide safe, practical access—whether for a few weeks, a few months, or during a special event.
At 3 Birds Accessibility – Pittsburgh, we work with families, event planners, and property owners across the region who need short-term mobility solutions that don’t sacrifice safety or code compliance.
If you're wondering whether a rental ramp or modular setup could work for your situation, this guide walks through when to consider a temporary ramp, what options are available, and how we handle everything from delivery to removal.
There are many reasons Pittsburgh residents choose a short-term ramp over a permanent structure. Common scenarios include:
If your need is temporary but safety is still essential, a professionally installed ramp gives you peace of mind and flexibility—without a long-term commitment.
Temporary ramps are modular systems designed for easy setup, quick removal, and use in a variety of settings. Unlike custom-built wood or concrete ramps, these systems are designed to be freestanding, adjustable, and reusable.
Key features include:
Our team handles delivery, setup, anchoring (if needed), and full removal once you’re done with the ramp—no clean-up or leftover materials.
We’ve set up temporary wheelchair ramps all across the city for:
Wherever people need short-term access, we bring the equipment and expertise to make it happen safely.
We’ve made the process as simple as possible. Here’s how it works:
Tell us about your needs—who the ramp is for, how long it’s needed, and where you plan to install it. We can often provide a quote over the phone, or we’ll schedule a quick site visit if needed.
We’ll select the right ramp components based on your entry height, space, and terrain. Then, we deliver the ramp to your location on a scheduled day.
Our trained team assembles the ramp, checks for safety and stability, and walks you through usage and maintenance.
Once the ramp is no longer needed, we return to disassemble and remove it—leaving the area exactly as we found it.
We also offer flexible rental periods, with options for weekly, monthly, or long-term rental depending on your timeline.
How much does a temporary wheelchair ramp cost in Pittsburgh?
Rental pricing varies based on ramp length, elevation, and duration. Most short-term setups range from $300–$800 per month, with delivery and installation included.
How long can I rent a ramp for?
We offer rentals from a few days to several months. You can also convert your rental to a permanent purchase if your needs change.
What if the ground is uneven or sloped?
Our modular ramps have adjustable legs and stabilizers that allow us to install on uneven or sloped surfaces, including yards, driveways, and older porches.
Can I install it myself?
We strongly recommend professional installation to ensure safety, proper slope, and ADA compliance—especially if the ramp is more than a few feet long.
Is this just for residential use?
No. We frequently provide temporary ramps for events, commercial buildings, and public spaces.
You can rent a ramp from a big-box website—but when safety matters, local expertise makes all the difference.
