Temporary offices move fast and they might not last long before being moved to a new location. They can serve as a swing space during a renovation, a project office on a construction site, ore a short-term lease while a new HQ is built. Aluminum ramps for temporary office buildings keep access simple: they install quickly, meet the right code framework, and look like they were always part of the plan. Not to mention, they can be moved and changed quickly to meet the fast pace of office needs.
Why Aluminum Makes Sense for Temporary Offices
The keyword to examine is, “temporary”. Offices are constantly moving and evolving so you need to meet those needs. The entrances of temporary offices see rain, rolling carts, visitor traffic, and quick turnarounds. Structural aluminum handles all of it without rust or repaint cycles.
Pair those demands with the need for slip-resistant, self-draining decking and you get predictable footing in wet weather, no gritty paint or bolt-on patches to maintain. The lighter weight also means faster staging and easier moves when the office relocates. Overall, aluminum is a win-win for everyone.
Two Rule Sets, One Site
Temporary offices serve different users:
- Public/employee entrances that form part of the accessible route must follow ADA/ICC A117.1 geometry, gentle running slope (max 1:12), low cross-slope, level landings, continuous handrails when required, and edge protection.
- Staff-only trailers and fenced jobsite doors fall under OSHA’s walking-working-surface rules, including stair/guard loads and safe surfaces.
REDD Team configures each approach to the correct standard so you’re compliant where you need to be, without over- or under-building.
Built for Speed (And Quiet Installs)
Temporary doesn’t mean chaotic. Our ramp assemblies arrive as completely labeled, bolt-together kits. There is absolutely no need for field welding at the door, no sparks near finishes, and minimal barricades.
Crews set adjustable legs to match real pad heights, bolt the runs and landings, and you’re open. Everything is seamless, stress-free, and easy. Most work can slot into evenings, weekends, or move-in windows so you don’t lose business hours.
Details That Prevent “Last-Inch” Problems
Even great ramps can still disappoint at the threshold. We size landings for maneuvering, coordinate door swings and hardware, and use low-profile threshold plates so wheelchairs, dollies, and strollers roll through without a bump. Landings are detailed to stay level and shed water, reducing puddles and “caution cone” moments.
Modular Today, Reusable Tomorrow
Temporary offices move; your access should too. Aluminum access products such as runs, landings, rails all unbolt, relocate, and reassemble without new fabrication.
Need a longer approach at the next site? You can effortlessly add a landing.
Different door hand or a new grade? Re-orient the run and re-level the legs, yes, it’s that easy. The same kit does more than one job, protecting your budget over a full project cycle.
One Coordinated System
An accessible route uses ramps, not stairs, but most sites still need companion code stairs for circulation and OSHA stairs for service doors. Using a single manufacturer keeps profiles, finishes, and hardware consistent. Your entrance reads as one planned system, not a mix of parts from different projects.
If you’re opening a swing space, a project office, or a short-term suite, choose aluminum ramps for temporary office buildings that install fast, pass inspection, and move with you when the plan changes.
