If you have a building open to the public, then aluminum disabled access ramps will be a must. But you can’t buy just any ramp – it has to meet the stringent requirements of the Americans with Disabilities ACT (ADA). REDD Team makes ramps that not only comply with the ADA, but with many other governmental safety codes as well. When you buy from us, you will be assured of a ramp that is not only compliant, but also one that is built to meet the most rigorous industry standards.
ADA Compliance is Critical
Since it was passed into law in 1992, the ADA has mandated that all publicly accessible buildings have ramps so people with mobility issues can easily enter and exit those buildings. They have to be able to do so as easily as someone who is not experiencing physical challenges. It is vitally important you are completely aware of all ADA requirements in order to avoid the risk of substantial fines or potential legal action.
REDD team has provided high-quality ramps and other access products for more than a quarter of a century. Our ramps provide access to many different types of facilities, such as churches, hotels, office buildings, schools and others. Not only are our products durable, they’re also modular. No matter how your needs may change, our accessibility systems can quickly change with you.
These are just some of the features of our ramps and other accessibility system components.
- Fast assembly without the need for field welding
- Compatible with not only wheelchairs, but also walkers and scooters
- Resistant to corrosion and rust
- Adjustable slopes and heights for easy reconfiguration
- Warranted for durability and wear
- Slip-resistant surfaces and smooth, secure handrails
How to Ensure ADA Compliance
In addition to calling REDD Team for all your accessibility system needs, there are several other things you can do in order to make sure you are compliant with all ADA regulations.
- When constructing a new building or renovating an existing facility, make sure the design professionals you hire are thoroughly familiar with all ADA regulations, as well as any other governmental accessibility regulations that may apply to your location.
- If your facility is older, perform a complete ADA evaluation to see if you need to make any changes. If there are any barriers to access, they may need to be altered or removed completely. All of your paths of travel, such as entrances and exits, must be accessible to people with mobility issues.
- Different municipalities may have different rules when it comes to mobility access. Have regular discussions with your local building authorities to make sure you’re in compliance with all local regulations. There can, in some instances, be significant differences between ADA standards and municipal and/or county building codes.
Ramps need to be placed next to main entrances, as well as other areas where a large number of people will need to access your building. The purpose of the ADA is to allow disabled people the same level of access as non-disabled people. If you are found to be in violation, you could face major problems. REDD Team can help make sure you never have to deal with the consequences of a violation.
