Hi @Clover14
Welcome to the community. However, we are about offering mutual advice and support. Buying and selling disability equipment isn't part of our remit, Here are some places where you might be more successful finding what you are looking for:
Disabled Gear
Ebay
Mobility Market
There is a wide variety of ramps available on the market, this website shows a lot of the different options: https://www.theramppeople.co.uk/wheelchair-ramps?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6Kbb8Zuo3AIVR7nACh0qPgQaEAAYASAAEgLvAvD_BwE
The first big decision is fixed or portable and then checking dimensions and weight limits.
Best Wishes

Hi
We are more about providing advice and support. Buying and selling mobility aids and other types of adaptive equipment is beyond what we can do. Think about what you really need and go from there.
Having said that you can find some useful information on disability aids and equipment. Just to clarify who would be actually using the equipment. There are lots of websites that allow you to try out adaptive equipment first. Start with them.
Look online. I’m sure that you can find some appropriate equipment for your needs. Also ask your therapists.
They might know of some funding sources. Best of luck.
