HI Brigid.  Standard wheelchair (18" seat width) will be approximately 24.5
inches wide.  How many steps are there?  Are they 8" tall each?  Temporary
rams are available to lengths in 10 feet.  Unless there is just one 8" step,
you are probably out of luck.  There are modular ramps in some cities for
rent.  Check the quick ramp systems from www.alumiramp.com   Where are you
located?
