Installing aluminum ramps is an excellent way of making your California commercial or industrial property more accessible. However, choosing the correct access ramp can be challenging because you must consider various factors. Fortunately, REDD Team can always help you make a purchase decision.
The process is simple. Think of it like going to a custom suit designer. You tell them or show them what you are interested in, and then they take measurements and create a final product that matches your needs.
Purchasing a wheelchair ramp is similar to getting your custom suit. The first step is providing your supplier with information about your property, access needs, and the ramp location. This gives REDD Team the required data to match you with a suitable ramp. Consider multiple factors before installing aluminum ramps on your property.
Can You Build A Ramp?
Ask your wheelchair ramp manufacturer if they can design a wheelchair ramp that matches your specific needs. At REDD Team, we understand that using a standard ramp design on some properties may not be possible. For instance, when property fronts do not meet a ramp’s safety requirements, In such cases, our technicians design and manufacture custom access solutions that meet your specific needs. We have been designing wheelchair ramps for years and understand states’ building codes and regulations.
Ramp Gradient
When purchasing a ramp, be sure to calculate the height of the steps because they determine the ramp gradient. The gradient is not a fixed standard; it is more of a compromise between the need of the user and the exterior of the building.
REDD Team uses the 1:6 gradient with a 10-degree angle. Our portable ramp may be steep in this gradient, so it applies in specific cases, such as short threshold ramps. We also use the 1:8 gradient with an 8-degree angle. It is ideal if you need a compromise between the entrance structure and available space. For health institutions, we offer gradients of 1:20 that occupational therapists use to assist their patients.
Depth Of The Steps
The depth of the steps leading to the ramp determines its overall length. REDD Team has experts in ramp design and manufacture. We can help you choose the proper specifications for your ramp depending on your needs. In addition, we can conduct a site visit, on clients’ requests, to determine the best wheelchair ramps for their building.
Threshold Of The Building
The front entrance may require a specific wheelchair ramp. The type of entrance determines the kind of ramp to install. The most common entries are internal steps, wood door thresholds, steps leading to a doorway, or a PVC door threshold. The width of most doors is about 30 inches, with older buildings having narrower doorways. In the case of narrower openings, we use a pair of shoulders to fit the ramp and the doorway size.
