ADA handicap ramps make it safe and easy for people with physical challenges to gain the access they deserve to public buildings across the country. REDD Team ramps meet all ADA requirements, and are strong enough to handle the elements, as well as all of your demands. Whether you’re looking for a ramp for a school, a place of business, a government facility or anything else, we should be your first and only choice.
About the REDD Team Universal Wheelchair Ramp
Our Universal Wheelchair Ramp System is not only ADA compliant, it also meets all other accessibility requirements at all governmental levels. It offers easy, secure access, lasts for decades, and is virtually maintenance free. If you ever need to move your ramp for any reason, it will be fast and easy to do so.
You simply won’t find a material better than aluminum. It’s as strong as steel, not nearly as difficult to maintain as wood, and provides much more flexibility than concrete. We use 6000 series alloys that not only make our products incredibly strong, but also resistant to the elements.
The Many Advantages Aluminum Provides
Below you’ll learn just some of the reasons why aluminum is the superior material for ramps and other components of your accessibility system.
- Weight – Aluminum only weighs about a third the amount of steel. As a result, it’s much easier to maneuver and install. As you learned earlier, the light weight of aluminum also makes it easier to move if the need ever arises. Of course, since it weighs less, aluminum also costs less than steel. REDD Team is affiliated with the global leader in aluminum extrusion, Hydro. That gives us an incredible supply of material, and we pass the savings on to our customers.
- Safety – Aluminum has excellent thermal conductivity. That’s a fancy way of saying it will always be safe to touch, even on the coldest or hottest days. Everyone who uses your ramp will be able to do so comfortably, regardless of the outside temperature. Also, since aluminum does such a great job of draining, it will always provide a secure, slip-resistant surface.
- Durability – Our ramps are made in one-piece sections. As a result, they don’t have any internal joints that can loosen and ultimately fail.
- Maintenance – Since aluminum has its own natural protection against oxidation, it won’t rust or corrode. You can’t say the same thing about steel unless it’s coated with very expensive materials. Also, wood ramps will rot or splinter as the years go by unless treated with protective coatings on a regular basis. You’ll never have to worry about those hassles with an aluminum ramp.
- Environmental friendliness – Aluminum is one of the most planet-friendly materials around. You can recycle it over and over again and it will remain just as strong and durable. All of our accessibility system components meet all U.S. Green Building Council guidelines. They may also help you qualify for LEED credits.
