REDD Team ADA compliant access ramps not only ensure everyone with a physical challenge can enter and exit your property. They also offer unrivaled durability and value. We make all of our products using the highest quality aluminum. As a result, they can stand up to even the harshest environments for decades. They’re also extremely affordable – much more so than ramps made of other materials. When you add up all the advantages, you might just wonder why you didn’t get in touch with us sooner.
The Many Reasons to Consider ADA Compliant Ramps
If your company is like many others, you’re making a concerted effort to hire people who have served our country in the armed forces. A lot of these veterans came back with debilitating injuries that make it nearly impossible to use stairs. By installing ramps, you can accommodate these challenges and give your employees easy access to and from your facility.
Companies also need to make accommodations for older workers who might not be as mobile as they used to be. In many cases, these workers may have to use wheelchairs or other mobility aids. All of our ramps make it much safer for anyone with physical issues to get in and out of buildings.
But REDD Team ramps can be used for other purposes than helping those with mobility challenges. Many oil and gas companies use our ramps on a regular basis. This kind of environment is incredibly rugged, traversed by heavy equipment, such as huge trucks, each and every day. This puts other equipment, such as hoses that run along the ground, at a great risk.
Our ramps can protect hoses from damage, such as punctures, that can render them useless. They can handle the weight of huge oilfield truck that can be 350,000 pounds or more.
Safety is yet another reason to purchase one of our ramps. You may have a retail operation in a strip mall, one that doesn’t provide loading docks. A REDD Team ramp will provide you with a safe, secure way to load and unload the goods you sell and the supplies you need.
Why Aluminum is Always the Best Choice
You’ve obviously seen a lot of ramps made out of a lot of different materials. Some of the most popular are concrete, wood and steel. But aluminum has advantages over all of them. Here are just three to keep in mind.
- Durability – Steel will corrode and rust over time unless treated with very expensive coatings. Wood will split and rot unless you refinish it on a regular basis. Aluminum, however, doesn’t need any protection, nor does it require any maintenance. It won’t corrode, thanks to a built-in coating of aluminum oxide.
- Portability – If you installed a concrete ramp and ever had to move it, you’d have to demolish it and start over from scratch. That’s not the case with REDD Team aluminum ramps. They’re not only easy to assemble, they’re also very easy to move.
- Strength – Thanks to the special 6000 series alloys we use to treat our aluminum, our ramps are just as strong as their steel counterparts. Even though REDD Team ramps only weigh 215 pounds, they can support loads as large as 1,600 pounds.
