For individuals with disabilities, attending school can be difficult if the school building doesn’t have the necessary access systems. Fortunately, modular classrooms can provide an affordable and accessible solution to this issue by installing ADA-compliant access steps and ramps. REDD Team is a premier manufacturer of quality access systems in the U.S. We can customize your access steps and ramps to meet your requirements.
Types of Access
With durable access solutions from REDD Team, students and staff can access school facilities without any problems. It’s essential to keep accessibility in mind in every aspect of a school’s design, from wheelchair ramps to graduation platforms.
Classroom Access
Because portable classrooms have elevated entrances, students with mobility problems will require specialized access systems to enter and exit. The classroom entryways must comply with codes, making aluminum steps and ramps perfect solutions for modular classrooms.
The three most common configurations include:
- An elevated platform at the door and a straight ramp
- A longer ramp with a switchback
- A platform at the door, a straight ramp, and stairs on one side
Compared to other materials, aluminum offers several advantages as a step or ramp material. It is a solid choice for outdoor applications because of its durability, safety, and ease of installation.
School Building Access
According to ADA, all individuals should have equal access to buildings. ADA-compliant aluminum ramps are the ideal accessibility solutions for building entrances and exits. They offer access solutions that can withstand bad weather and user traffic for prolonged periods.
Universal Stairs
Aluminum is used to fabricate Universal Stairs. The products comply with ADA and other codes, including IBC, SREF, and Life Safety 101. They fit both long- and short-term applications and provide access to mobile classrooms and modular buildings. Besides connecting classrooms, aluminum walkways are safe, structurally sound, and slip-resistant.
Benefits of ADA Compliant Access Steps & Ramps
Resilient
Aluminum is maintenance-free. This material is suitable for building modular access systems with a long lifespan. They resist the constant wear and tear that outdoor ramps experience.
Slip-Resistant
The surfaces of aluminum steps and ramps are non-slip, providing wheelchair users with reliable traction even in the rain. REDD Team ramp decking typically contains grooves that run across the width of the ramp. These grooves provide wheelchair wheels with a secure grip as they roll across the ramp surface.
Simple Repairs
Repairs on aluminum steps and ramps are quick, simple, and inexpensive. When a section of modular ramps is damaged, the damaged portion can be removed and replaced, reducing costs and mobility downtimes.
Resilient & Lightweight
Aluminum exhibits an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and is highly resilient. Due to its strength, it is an ideal material for access systems. REDD Team manufactures modular ramps that are simple to assemble and easy to transport.
Design Flexibility
The modular nature of these systems allows you to decide a whole host of features, including railing styles, length, and access angles.
Easy Installation
Modular ramps do not require excavation. Their components can be easily attached, resulting in fast installation. Our trained technicians can install aluminum steps and stairs quickly because they comply with building codes.
Maintenance-Free
Aluminum steps and ramps won’t warp, rot, or rust. Modular classrooms are an excellent solution for many schools because they are more affordable and installed quickly than traditional buildings. However, it’s essential to ensure that these classrooms are ADA compliant and accessible to all students.
REDD Team manufactures aluminum stairs and access systems for commercial, military, industrial and municipal facilities. We specialize in OSHA and ADA-compliant access systems. Our products are highly durable and support our goal of making buildings, including modular classrooms, accessible for people with mobility problems.
At REDD Team, we support making modular classrooms accessible for all students regardless of mobility problems. We manufacture and install ADA-compliant access steps and ramps in schools throughout the U.S. Please call us today to order our products.
