REDD Team offers portable classroom ramps for school accessibility that are not only safe and durable, but will also ensure your facility complies with all Americans with Disabilities Act (ACT) requirements. Our ramps withstand the elements, efficiently draining water no matter how hard it may rain. They are also easy to install and reconfigure if necessary.
About REDD Team
REDD Team manufactures a wide range of high-quality aluminum accessibility systems. These include not only ramps but also stairs, walkways, porches and many others. Regardless of the type of access you’re looking for, we have the solution. All of our products are rigorously tested and meet or exceed all industry standards.
One of the main reasons REDD Team aluminum products stand out from the competition is our 6000 series aluminum alloys. The 6061 alloy, for instance, serves as a strong, safe – and cost-effective – alternative to steel. It’s not only strong, it will also keep its shape no matter how hot or cold the weather may be. All of our alloys also resist corrosion and rust, and require very little maintenance.
How Aluminum Compares to Other Materials
You may have seen accessibility systems made of wood and steel. While these materials have their benefits, they simply don’t compare to aluminum. Here’s a quick comparison between aluminum and wood and aluminum and metal.
Aluminum Vs. Wood
- Wood will rot if it’s not treated on a regular basis. Aluminum will stay strong no matter how wet it may get.
- Aluminum accessibility systems always maintain their shape, through both extreme cold and extreme heat. Wood, on the other hand, will expand and shrink to the point to where its structural integrity could be compromised.
- Wood is much heavier than aluminum, making it difficult to relocate if the need arises. You’ll never have to worry about that with aluminum.
Aluminum Vs. Steel
- Steel is a great deal heavier – as much as three times heavier, in fact – than aluminum. Like wood, a steel accessibility system will be very hard to move.
- Steel is susceptible to rust and corrosion if it’s not repainted on a regular basis. Aluminum features a natural oxide layer that resists corrosion.
- Steel can be very slippery if it’s not treated with texturing. Aluminum provides a natural grip without the need for texturing.
Ensuring ADA Compliance
REDD Team professionals are experts in helping to make sure school buildings and other facilities are in total compliance with the ADA. Our systems are accessible to people using wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, crutches, or any other mobility aids. We will make sure all of the buildings in your school district meet all ADA requirements. If need be, we can provide you with a ramp that fits over existing concrete steps, saving you the expense of tearing those steps out.
In addition, our ramps include handrails that can further help those with limited mobility get the access they need.
Accessibility system from REDD Team offer peace of mind to school district administrators. You’ll be able to rest easy knowing that all your buildings not only comply with the ADA, but any other municipal, state or federal codes that may govern your facilities.
