Aluminum wheelchair ramp manufacturers in Arizona is a search carried out on Google when you need a ramp partner who understands both ADA design requirements and Arizona’s local code landscape.

Arizona is a home-rule state where cities and counties adopt and amend building codes locally, so compliance typically combines the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design with each jurisdiction’s adoption of IBC Chapter 11 (Accessibility) and ICC A117.1.

An example of the way areas combine codes: the City of Phoenix’s current Building Construction Code references ICC A117.1-2017 alongside the 2010 ADA Standards; other jurisdictions (like Tucson) also reference A117.1 within their locally adopted codes.

Code Landscape in Arizona—What to Expect

  • ADA applies statewide. Public facilities and public accommodations must follow the 2010 ADA Standards. It provides the technical baseline you’ll often see repeated in local reviews.
  • Local adoption of I-Codes. Cities, such as Phoenix, Tucson, will adopt IBC/IEBC and ICC A117.1 with local amendments.  The plans are then reviewed for conformance with both the local code package and ADA.
  • Rights and barrier removal. Arizona disability rights guidance follows the ADA’s expectation for accessible new construction and achievable barrier removal in existing public accommodations closely.

ADA Geometry: Built Into REDD Team Layouts

REDD Team designs aluminum ramp systems to the ADA’s core ramp criteria, so approvals and inspections are predictable with no surprises:

  • Running slope: Up to 1:12 (8.33%) max
  • Cross slope: Up to 1:48 max
  • Rise per run: 30 in. max before a landing is required
  • Clear width: 36 in. min (between handrails where provided)
  • Landings: Level at top/bottom and where direction changes; detail to prevent water accumulation
  • Handrails & edge protection: Handrails on both sides where a run rises >6 in.; provide edge protection at runs/landings

For constrained existing conditions, the ADA permits short, steeper runs (up to 1:10 for ≤6 in. rise, 1:8 for ≤3 in.).

Why Aluminum Ramps Make Sense in Arizona

Arizona sites range from urban plazas in thriving cities like Phoenix to healthcare campuses in Tucson and municipal facilities across Maricopa, Pima, and beyond.

Aluminum offers the following benefits:

  • High strength without rust
  • Repaint cycles
  • Heavy handling

REDD Team pairs structural aluminum with slip-resistant, self-draining walking surfaces to maintain predictable footing during monsoon downpours and routine wash-downs. We also provide continuous handrails for everyday safety.

Our Universal Wheelchair Ramp System is modular and reusable. We know changes occur so it allows for reconfiguration as entrances shift or project phases.  In addition, our systems are designed without field welding.

Fast Installation at Occupied Facilities

Ramps arrive as standardized kits with repeatable connections, which shortens field time during school breaks, tenant turnovers, or phased municipal renovations. Because components bolt together (as mentioned, no field welding needed), crews can stage, assemble, and, if needed, relocate segments with minimal disruption and no hot work.

Integrate Ramps With Stairs and Platforms

An accessible route uses ramps, elevators, or platform lifts but not stairs. However,  most sites still need companion code stairs for general circulation or OSHA stairs for staff-only access, such as on rooftops, mechanical platforms, or trailers. As a single manufacturer, REDD Team supplies coordinated aluminum ramps, stairs, and platforms, so finishes, fasteners, and inspection points are consistent across the site.
