Hospitals never slow down and they experience non-stop foot traffic. From patients arriving at the ER to visitors coming in with strollers or mobility aids, entrances see constant use in all weather conditions. That’s why prefabricated aluminum ramps for hospitals by REDD Team are such an effective solution. They provide safe, reliable access that installs quickly, integrates cleanly with existing entries to ensure safety, and keeps people moving without disrupting daily operations.
Why Hospitals Need Prefabricated Solutions
Unlike many other facilities, hospitals and clinics can’t afford long construction windows. It is imperative that entrances remain open, safe, and compliant even during construction upgrades. Prefabricated aluminum ramps arrive as easy-to-assemble modular kits, which means:
- Fast installation: Bolt-together components eliminate the need for field welding.
- Minimal disruption: Work can be done during evenings, weekends, holidays, or short phases without affecting patient flow.
- Predictable results: Standardized hardware and labeled parts make assembly straightforward and a breeze for crews.
For healthcare campuses with constant traffic, prefabrication is the only way to complete upgrades without downtime and remain affordable.
Meeting ADA and Building Code Requirements
Hospital entrances must comply with both federal ADA Standards and local building codes. REDD Team designs ramps to meet these expectations from the start, which keeps reviews and inspections predictable and provides peace of mind for everyone involved.
Key criteria include:
- Running slope: Maximum 1:12 (8.33%)
- Cross slope: Maximum 1:48
- Landings: Level, 60 inches minimum, and detailed to prevent water accumulation
- Handrails: Continuous on both sides when the rise exceeds 6 inches, with required extensions
- Edge protection: Guarding on all sides where drop-offs exist
REDD Team understands the needs of healthcare facilities. Hospitals also often need larger maneuvering clearances at doors to accommodate stretchers, mobility scooters, and larger medical equipment. All of the requirements are incorporated into the design package.
Built for Healthcare Environments
Healthcare facilities require ramps that are safe in all weather conditions. That’s why REDD Team uses aluminum decking with slip-resistant, self-draining profiles. They easily shed water, snow, and debris to keep surfaces predictable in bad weather.
Aluminum is also:
- Corrosion resistant: No rust, no repainting cycles, and fewer maintenance headaches.
- Lightweight yet strong: Easier to install around sensitive hospital environments.
- Non-combustible: A safer material choice for public facilities.
Flexible for Expanding Campuses
Hospitals and clinics often add temporary wings, portable units, or phased expansions. Modular aluminum ramps are designed to be reconfigured or relocated as site plans change and grow. A ramp system serving a temporary entrance during renovations can later be moved to another location on the same hospital campus, protecting the project budget while maintaining compliance.
Integrated Access Systems
An accessible route always includes ramps, but hospitals also need companion stairs and platforms for general circulation. REDD Team manufactures ramps, stairs, and walkways as a coordinated system, which means entrances look intentional and inspections cover consistent details across the project.
