The floor of the telescope shed is 1" high, with a small ramp up to the floor. Pushing or pulling the telescopes up by 1" is a slight struggle. While the telescopes are not top heavy, it is still a bit unnerving to tilt them while negotiating that lip. There are threshold ramps, intended to simplify wheelchair access. This one has a 1" rise and is 43" wide. Can anyone suggest another source for such a ramp. Maybe not sold as a threshold ramp perhaps. I ordered this one. It is only 3/4" high, but it should fit on the little small ramp before the floor level. At most there might be a fraction of an inch of gap which the casters should easily cross. Made in USA!
I was very satisfied with threshold ramps from this manufacturer (PVI). Very sturdy and can be screwed down if you want. We never attached it but also never had a problem with it shifting. I'm not sure they have any wider than 36 inches though. (Note: I known nothing about this specific vendor, just one I found with a picture of the PVI ramp. PVI = Prairie View Industries.) https://www.indemedical.com/PVI-Threshold-Ramp_p_687.html
