Portable classrooms have become the norm on campuses across the nation. They are easy to put up and can be moved when needed. However, despite their many perks, many wonder how to ensure code compliance for portable classroom accessibility.
REDD Team makes it straightforward with prefabricated aluminum ramps, companion code stairs, platforms, and walkways that have been engineered to ADA/A117.1. The alumumin systems are delivered as bolt-together kits with clear submittals. This ensures that the portable classroom opens safely and passes inspection.
Precise Measurements Turned Into a Buildable Layout
To get started, you give us a few essentials such as the finished floor height, pad elevation, hinge side, and door swing. Also, provide us with site photos.
After reviewing everything, we return a clean layout with the geometry reviewers look for, such as:
- Gentle running slope
- Low cross-slope
- 30-inch-max rises per run
- Level landings
- Clear widths
- Continuous handrails
- Edge protection
We also size maneuvering clearances and add threshold plates so carts and wheelchairs roll through without a bump.
Modular Aluminum That Installs Fast
REDD Team ramps, landings, and (when needed) companion stairs arrive as prefabricated, bolt-together kits. There is no field welding required.
The installation process produces only minimal noise and requires fewer barricades, which means students, faculty, and parents won’t be inconvenienced. Because the kits by REDD Team bolt together, installation can be carried out during the evenings, over long weekends, holidays, or short summer windows. We provide straightforward instructions, predictable connections, and hardware that crews already know how to use.
Adjustable legs tune to real-world pad heights, standardized hardware keeps assembly predictable, and labeled parts reduce guesswork for district crews or your GC.
Clear Submittals
Nobody wants a red-stamp loop. Our drawings call out the specifics, which include slopes, landings, widths, handrail heights and returns, drainage notes, edge protection, and anchorage.
If your district standard asks for wider clear widths or child-height rails, then we’ll incorporate those on day one. Need stamped calculations or a particular anchor detail? We package those, too. These all lead to faster approvals.
Door Landings Done Right (The “Last Inch”)
Most field failures happen at landings.
REDD Team takes things seriously:
- We detail platforms to stay level and shed water.
- Coordinate door swings so hardware never steals clearance.
- Use low-profile threshold plates that take the bump out of entry.
The details protect your budget and make day-to-day use better for students, staff, and visitors.
OSHA Where It Applies, ADA Where It’s Required
Campuses often need both an ADA route for students and families, plus an OSHA-aligned access for staff-only doors, rooftops, or temporary platforms inside the construction fence.
REDD Team designs the correct rule set for each location.
Ready to open your portables on time and pass review without drama? Call REDD Team at (800) 648-3696 or contact us online for a fast layout and quote. We’ll turn your measurements into a prefabricated ramp and platform package that installs cleanly, reads well to reviewers, and works for students from day one. Without a doubt, that’s how to ensure code compliance for portable classroom accessibility.
