REDD Team makes aluminum ramps for disabled people that conform to all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It’s critically important that you comply with the ADA if you operate any type of public facility. Violators often face not only very steep fines, but also run the risk of facing costly lawsuits. Take those risks out of the equation by turning to us for all your accessibility system component needs.
How We Can Help With ADA Compliance
If your building was constructed after 1992, then you have to comply with all ADA mandates. But even if it was built before then, you have to remove any barriers that could make it difficult for someone with a physical challenge to enter or exit your facility. Trying to comprehend the ADA can be a major undertaking, to put it mildly. But we can help.
For more than 25 years, REDD Team has been the leader in the design and manufacture of aluminum accessibility system components. In fact, our Universal Wheelchair Ramp System is one of our most popular offerings. We’ve provided ADA-compliant products to a vast array of clients, including those in the hospitality, retail, entertainment and construction industries, just to name a few.
All of our ramps are not only compliant with all ADA mandates, but other accessibility requirements set by local and state governments. They’re easy to install, extremely durable, and can be reconfigured or relocated whenever the need may arise. The following are just a few of the many features of our Universal Wheelchair Ramp.

- Adjustable slopes and heights
- Resistant to corrosion and rust
- Installs in a fraction of the time it takes to install a steel ramp, because there is no need for field welding

- Guaranteed for durability and wear
- Comes with smooth handrails that are always safe to touch, as well as a slip-resistant surface
Tips to Stay Compliant With ADA Mandates
Being proactive can help ensure you never have to deal with any of the consequences that can come with violating ADA mandates. More and more people are getting to an age where they need to make sure they can get into public places. That’s what the ADA is meant to ensure. These are just a few of the ways you can make that happen.
- If you have an older facility, you should perform a top-to-bottom evaluation to make sure you are in total compliance with the ADA. You will always need to ensure that you either remove any barriers to access, or you make any needed renovations. You might not necessarily need to demolish those barriers, but just make certain changes to make sure all paths into and out of your building are accessible.
- If you’re planning a new structure, talk to your local building inspector, as well as your architect and construction company. You’ll want to do everything you can to make sure the building will be ADA compliant.
- If you do need to make any changes, make sure the contractors performing remediation are familiar with the ADA, as well as any local and/or state accessibility requirements.
