The REDD Team Advantage

If you have ever been frustrated with the quality – or even the availability – of accessibility system components like ramps and stairs from other manufacturers, your worries are over. REDD Team is a brand of Hydro, the world’s leading aluminum extrusion company. As a result, we have access to an incredible amount of high-grade aluminum. Not only will we fulfill your needs on time, we’ll do so very affordably as well, since we can pass the savings on to you.

Unparalleled Strength and Durability

The aluminum we use in our products is the strongest around. The reason is that we use alloys that give them the same amount of strength as steel – without all the problems steel can cause. No matter what kind of demands you put on our ramps, they will keep performing day in and day out. Here’s some information on two of these incredible alloys.

  • 6061 alloy – This alloy is tough as well as strong. Regardless of the outside temperature, aluminum containing the 6061 alloy will never warp or lose its shape in any other manner. It also makes it easy to install, since there’s no need to do any sort of welding in the field.
  • 6063 alloy – The 6063 alloy makes our ramps and other products extremely smooth. This alloy is used in a wide range of applications, including electrical components and many others. In addition, the 6063 alloy helps protect aluminum from corrosion, and also helps it resist cracking.

 How Aluminum Compares to Other Materials Used in Ramps

There are three four main materials used to build ramps – aluminum, steel, wood and concrete. While we’re obviously biased, we truly do feel that aluminum is the superior material – by far. These are just some of the reasons why.

  • Concrete, of course, is very durable and strong. It also provides sure footing because it’s naturally slip-resistant. It does, however, come with some drawbacks. If, for instance, you find that you ever need to move a concrete ramp, you won’t just be able to take it apart. A concrete ramp will have to be completely demolished, and you’ll need to build a new one from scratch. With aluminum, you’ll never have that problem. Our products can easily be disassembled and then reassembled.
  • Steel ramps are strong, but they’re also very heavy. As a result, they cost a lot more to purchase as well as ship, if the need should ever arise. Steel will also degrade due to corrosion and rust unless coated with very expensive materials. Our ramps are just as strong as steel, and they won’t degrade.
  • Wood ramps are beautiful, but they can easily warp – and eventually rot – if they’re not treated on a regular basis. Aluminum will keep its shape and strength no matter how wet your climate may be.
