TRIXIE Dog Ramp Review — An Unexpected Wheelchair Mobility Solution That Worked for Years
For nearly eight years, we used two TRIXIE dog ramps together to load Renee’s wheelchair into our minivan. They held up through frequent use, though aligning both ramps took care each time.
Quick Summary
The TRIXIE Two-Fold Dog Car Ramp is a lightweight, foldable ramp designed for pets entering vehicles. Our family used two together in our own wheelchair-loading setup for years. TRIXIE sells this as a pet ramp; our wheelchair use was not approved by the manufacturer, and the ramp is not rated or designed for wheelchair loading. This is our account of a workaround that worked for us, not a setup recommendation for other families.
What We Love
• Durable construction — held up to frequent, long-term use
• Foldable and portable, making storage and transport easy
• Non-slip surface provided reliable traction when loading
• Lightweight enough for daily handling, yet sturdy when deployed
• Demonstrates how adaptable products can fill real gaps when specialized equipment isn’t accessible
What Could Be Better
• Not designed or approved by TRIXIE for wheelchair loading; this was our family’s own workaround
• Using two ramps requires alignment and stability checks every time
• Width is narrower than dedicated wheelchair ramps
Who This Helps Most
This review may be useful to families comparing how others handled vehicle loading. For wheelchair use, choose equipment designed and rated for the wheelchair, vehicle, and loading conditions, with appropriate professional guidance.
Renee’s Rating
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) — Not because it’s perfect, but because it worked. Reliably. For years.
Where to Buy

Why We Recommend It
TRIXIE markets this ramp for pets, not wheelchair loading. We used two TRIXIE ramps to load Renee’s wheelchair into our minivan for almost eight years, and they held up in our family’s use. That history explains our rating; it does not establish that this setup is safe for another wheelchair or vehicle. Use a purpose-built, appropriately rated loading solution for your circumstances.
