As a building owner, it may be necessary to install long aluminum ramps to make your building more accessible to people with mobility problems. At REDD Team, we install quality aluminum ramps in different shapes, sizes, colors, and designs. Our industry-leading company can provide customized accessibility options for your business. If you are thinking of installing accessibility ramps in your business or industrial premises, it is essential to consider a few factors.
Significance
It is essential to think about who needs the accessibility ramps. Although many people install ramps to help individuals with mobility problems access their businesses, you can install ramps useful for all individuals. Consider where you will install the ramps, including entry and exit points. You may even install multiple ramps in all entry points to make your business more accessible from multiple locations. Many business owners install accessibility ramps in entry and exit points, parking spots, garages, and bathrooms.
Most slip-and-fall injuries are caused by slippery surfaces, poor structural integrity of the components, and environmental factors, such as mud, ice, snow, grease, and oil. With durable and lightweight access solutions from REDD Team, you can improve safety in many different environments.
Why Choose Aluminum
High quality aluminum access systems from REDD Team are manufactured from 6000 series aluminum alloy with 6061-T6 for structural strength. In particular, the 6061 alloy, which incorporates magnesium and silicon, is an excellent substitute for significantly heavier mild steel systems.
In the applications discussed above, the three main advantages that aluminum offers are:
Portability – Aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio. When mixed with other elements to form alloys, it is as strong as steel but only 30% to 50% as heavy. Aluminum access products are easier to assemble and quickly move from location to location.
Strength – Aluminum has a mass and weight that is roughly 35% that of iron and 30 % that of copper. It is more malleable and elastic than steel. Steel is tough and resilient, but cannot usually be pushed to the same extreme dimensional limits as aluminum.
Durability – Unlike wood, aluminum will never split, rot, or warp due to rain, snow, UV rays and other environmental conditions. Aluminum ramps do not need to be refinished or replaced, and require no scraping, sanding, painting or staining to maintain them. They are strong, non-corrosive and rust-free.
REDD Team offers a wide range of accessibility ramps, including mid and high-end. In addition, we choose products we know are reliable and of high quality. Our company has an accessibility ramp option for every budget. We are a large company that enjoys economies of scale and pass on the benefits of affordable products to our customers.
