Aluminum stairs are a strong, durable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way of providing access to Fresno, California schools, and REDD Team is the brand most often chosen by professional installers. Our access systems meet the requirements of California’s DSA, which governs the accessibility of new and existing public buildings.
REDD Team is a product brand of Hydro Extrusion North America, part of the world’s largest aluminum extrusion company. We manufacture high-quality aluminum stair, ramp, and walkway solutions in standard and custom configurations in the USA at Hydro’s Delhi, Louisiana extrusion facility.
Advantages of Aluminum
REDD Team’s stairs and ramps are fabricated from 6000 series aluminum and alloys 6061-T6, 6063-T5 or 6063-T6 for structural strength and toughness. They are equipped with smooth, continuous handrails and a slip resistant walking surface for safe and easy access. They can be designed and manufactured in custom lengths and sizes with adjustable heights for better versatility.
Some of the metal’s many benefits include:
- Good thermal conductivity; aluminum performs well in cold weather but conducts heat well, staying cool to the touch
- As strong as mild steel but only one-third to one-half as heavy
- Access system frame components can be extruded in one-piece sections that don’t require mechanical joining, making them stronger and less likely to loosen over time
- Aluminum’s naturally generated protective oxide coating enables it to withstand highly-corrosive settings such as marine environments
- It is attractive in its natural state and needs no additional finishing but can be anodized, painted, or powder-coated as needed
- Maintenance-free, requiring no scraping, sanding, painting or staining
- Infinitely recyclable without losing any of its superior characteristics

Pair It with a REDD Team Wheelchair Ramp
The REDD Team Universal Wheelchair Ramp System is extremely durable, outlasting bad weather and high traffic volumes year after year. They are an ideal solution for temporary or permanent access to portable classrooms and other modular buildings that have elevated entrances. If your building has existing concrete stairs, we can easily install an aluminum ramp over them.
One of the best features of REDD Team’s aluminum ramps is that they can conform to fit virtually any doorway or entrance, something that is not possible with wood ramps. Once a wood ramp has been installed, it can be very difficult to take apart and reconfigure. In most cases, you will have to purchase a new ramp.
