Schools around Lakeland, FL, have successfully met ADA standards with the help of REDD Team’s wheelchair ramps. A ramp is necessary to help people access more spaces around your school campus. REDD Team is available to help you plan and build a wheelchair ramp that fits your property.
REDD Team can prepare various helpful ramps that will work for your site. We start by conducting a thorough assessment of your current situation, including the layout of your space and the anticipated frequency of ramp use. Based on this, we help you figure out a ramp that works best for your needs. Everything we do can be customized for whatever you want.
What Makes Our Ramps Different?
Our ramps at REDD Team are different in how we build all our parts here in the United States and ship a fully pre-fabricated ramp to your location. This means you can rest assured that all the necessary parts are included in your shipment, making the installation process smooth and hassle-free.
We also use aluminum for all our ramps. Aluminum is an ideal metal because it can handle various weights while lasting for years. Its resistance to dents, scratches, rust, and premature wear ensures that your ramp will remain in top condition, providing long-lasting accessibility for your school community.
The lightweight aluminum design also ensures you can carry it to your site and install the ramp well. Since it’s not overly heavy like various steel materials, you won’t struggle to get it ready at your spot. This convenient feature ensures you’ll get the ramp installed right the first time around.
What Specifics Will Work For Your Ramp?
While getting a wheelchair ramp is a smart idea, you’ll still have to watch for the parameters surrounding how you need to build a ramp. Lakeland-area schools are subject to various rules for a ramp based on what the 2020 Florida Building Code reports. These rules include a slope of 1:12 or flatter, a minimum width of 36 inches, and a maximum rise of 30 inches without a midway landing, among others.
We’ll help you here at REDD Team with building a ramp that meets all these points:
- A ramp needs a slope of 1:12 or flatter.
- The ramp must also be at least 36 inches wide.
- A single ramp’s total rise can be up to 30 inches. If the rise is more than 30 inches, a midway landing is necessary.
- For cases where the ramp changes direction, a square landing of 60 inches on each side is necessary to provide a suitable turning radius.
- Landings will appear at the top and bottom parts of the ramp and will be at least 36 inches long and as wide as the ramp itself.
As part of our service, we provide a range of design options and expert advice to help you plan a ramp that meets your specific needs and preferences. We’ll be ready to assist you regardless of the design you’re trying to get.
