An aluminum stair ramp can handle wheelchairs of all sizes and formats. Whether it’s a traditional wheelchair or a heavier model for more intensive medical needs, you can trust your ramp to help people access more places. REDD Team is excited to help people get new aluminum stair ramps for every part of their businesses and other sites. These ramps help improve accessibility compliance while providing a convenient setup that improves how well people can reach different spots around your site.
One advantage of an aluminum stair ramp is that it can handle more weight than most other items. Aluminum is one of the strongest metals around, as it can handle more pressure than other compounds and will not weaken from heat, cold, or other weather extremes.
You can also be assured your ramp will keep working no matter how many wheelchairs go over the surface or how much weight those chairs impose. Every person who uses a wheelchair has a different weight, so finding a ramp that can handle all those pounds is a necessity.
Some people might have heavier wheelchairs, for example, that weigh about a hundred pounds. One of these chairs would have a motor and battery to help someone move around. These wheelchairs are particularly for people with substantial mobility issues. They may also come with health monitors and devices a person may require.
Other wheelchairs might be designed for bariatric patients. A person who is undergoing a weight loss treatment plan might need a wheelchair because that someone is currently unable to move on one’s own before losing weight. Someone could add 500 pounds or more of pressure on your ramp.
However, the aluminum stair ramps we make at REDD Team will handle all these situations and more. The aluminum we use has a general weight capacity of about 100 pounds per square foot, which is enough to provide support for anyone who goes up and down the ramp.
Given how large a typical ramp can be, the overall weight limit is about 800 to 1,200 pounds, depending on its size and whatever other supports are involved. The aluminum material will help improve the ramp’s performance, but you’ll still need to watch how you design it. Our experts at REDD Team can help you determine what is necessary for your ramp.
Extra supports can work around different parts of your ramp if you want them. These supports can go on the bottom or middle of a setup. You can talk with us about what types of people will use your ramp, and we can figure out if additional supports are needed to help improve how well the setup can handle weight.
