Monarch Aerolight Up & Over Threshold Ramp Kit
The Monarch Aerolight Up & Over Threshold Ramp Kit delivers a complete access solution for doorsteps and thresholds. This innovative two-part system combines the lightweight Aerolight Xtra folding ramp with the Doorline Multi (DM5) internal threshold bridge, providing seamless transition from exterior ground level, up and over door thresholds, and into the property. Available in five size configurations to accommodate various step heights from 15cm to 30cm, this British-designed kit addresses the common task of navigating uPVC door thresholds and raised doorsteps.
Two-Part Threshold Access System
The Aerolight Up & Over kit comprises two precision-engineered components working together. The external Aerolight Xtra ramp provides the primary incline from ground level to threshold height, featuring a bi-fold aluminium construction with integrated carry handles and side rails. The internal Doorline Multi (DM5) bridge creates a smooth transition over the raised door threshold itself, eliminating the bump and potential obstruction at the door’s base. This dual-component approach solves access tasks that single ramps cannot address, particularly with modern uPVC doors featuring prominent weatherproof thresholds.
Lightweight Aluminium Construction
Both components feature aerospace-grade aluminium construction, minimising weight whilst maintaining structural integrity. The external ramp sections fold in half for compact storage and transport, with the longest 240cm version still manageable for single-person deployment. Textured anti-slip surfaces on both ramp and threshold bridge provide secure traction in wet and dry conditions. The aluminium construction resists corrosion, making the kit suitable for semi-permanent outdoor placement or daily deployment and storage.
Graduated Size Options
Five kit configurations address different threshold heights, with the size designation indicating the maximum external step height each kit accommodates at a safe 1:8 gradient ratio. The 15cm kit includes a 120cm external ramp, progressing through to the 30cm kit with a 240cm external ramp. All configurations include the same DM5 internal threshold bridge, rated for thresholds up to 10cm in height. This standardised internal component simplifies selection—simply measure the external step height and select the corresponding kit size.
Quick Deployment Design
The folding mechanism and lightweight construction facilitate rapid setup and removal. The external ramp unfolds and positions in seconds, with the internal bridge sliding into place over the door threshold. Integrated carry handles on the main ramp enable single-person transport, whilst the compact folded dimensions suit car boot storage for portable use at multiple locations. The kit requires no tools, fixings, or permanent modifications to the property.
Practical Features
Side rails on the external ramp prevent lateral wheel movement, maintaining a safe central path. The raised edges extend the full ramp length, providing visual and physical guidance. Non-marking rubber contact points protect flooring surfaces where the internal bridge rests. The DM5 threshold bridge features tapered edges for smooth wheel transition and accommodates standard door threshold profiles found in most domestic properties.

15cm Kit: Compact option suitable for single low steps and standard domestic doorsteps. The 120cm ramp length provides a gentle 1:8 gradient for steps up to 15cm.
19cm Kit: Mid-range option addressing slightly higher external steps whilst maintaining manageable ramp length and weight for regular deployment.
23cm Kit: Versatile choice covering the majority of domestic front door configurations with raised porch steps.
26cm Kit: Extended length addresses higher external steps found in older properties with substantial doorstep risers.
30cm Kit: Maximum capacity option for the highest domestic thresholds, with slightly reduced weight capacity of 250kg due to the extended ramp length.
