Wheelchair ramp hire
Modular aluminium access ramps supplied, installed and collected for as long as they are needed. Hire suits a situation with an end date: coming home from hospital, recovering from surgery, a temporary entrance, or trying a ramp before committing to a permanent one.
When hire is the right answer
Coming home from hospital
Access is needed on a date that is already set, and often before a funding decision has been made.
Recovering from surgery or injury
The need is real but temporary, and a permanent ramp would be taken out again within months.
Waiting on funding
An application is in progress and the client needs to get in and out of the house now.
A rented or listed home
A permanent modification is not wanted, or not permitted by the owner.
Temporary access
A venue, a site office or an entrance that needs an accessible path for a defined period.
Trying before buying
The ramp is installed and used before a decision is made to purchase the same configuration.
Why an occupational therapist asks for hire
A discharge date is usually fixed before the funding is. Hire closes the gap between the two: the client gets home safely on the day, and the decision about a permanent ramp is made properly rather than under time pressure. RampAssist modular access ramps supplied and installed for temporary hire by Innovate Access Group.
What a hire includes
| Supply | Modular aluminium ramp, configured to the site |
| Handrails | Both sides, where the configuration requires them |
| Delivery | To site, anywhere in Victoria we service |
| Installation | Set out, assembled and levelled on site |
| Collection | Removed at the end of the hire, the site left as found |
| Hire agreement | Period, terms and responsibilities set out in writing before anything is delivered |
How it works
1. Tell us about the site
A photograph of the entrance, the height from the ground to the threshold, and the date access is needed.
2. We confirm the configuration
Ramp length and layout follow the height and the space available. Where a site visit is needed, we say so.
3. Quote and agreement
A written quote, and a hire agreement setting out the period and the terms. Hire is paid before delivery.
4. Install, use, collect
Installed on the agreed date. Collected when the hire ends, or converted to a purchase if that turns out to be the better answer.
What it costs
| Ramp hire, 1000 mm wide | $165 per lineal metre per week incl GST ($150 ex GST) |
| Minimum hire period | Four weeks. After that, hire continues in further four week periods |
| Delivery, installation and collection | Quoted per site, once we know the rise, the ground conditions and the access |
| Handrails, landings and switchback configurations | Quoted with the ramp, since they depend on the configuration |
Rates apply to the modular aluminium system and are current September 2026. Send a photograph of the entrance and the height from the ground to the threshold and you will have a full figure for your site.
Funding
Hire can be funded through the same routes as a purchase, and which one applies depends on the scheme and the assessment. Funding for access modifications sets out NDIS, Support at Home, DVA, TAC and WorkSafe, with links to the primary source for each.
