We’ve produced ramps, as well as other components for accessibility systems, for several decades.

Let REDD Team Help You Maintain Compliance
As you already know, it’s very important that your facility comply with all accessibility requirements. As a public facility, your schools have to have a certain number of access points that people with physical challenges can navigate. If you’re not in compliance, that can lead to significant penalties.
You won’t have to worry about any of that when you purchase accessibility systems from REDD Team, because we make all of our products with compliance in mind. When you install our products, all people – no matter their challenges – will be able to enter and exit your buildings.
More Reasons to Partner with REDD Team
All of our accessibility system components are made of aluminum. When you first think of this material, a soda can might be what comes to mind. How in the world can someone safely use a wheelchair ramp made of aluminum? You’d be amazed at how strong aluminum actually is. In fact, our aluminum products are just as strong as steel, even though they’re 30 percent lighter – thanks to the 6000-series alloys we use.
These are just some of the other reasons you should consider purchasing aluminum accessibility system components from REDD Team.
- Durability – Not only is aluminum strong, it’s also built to last. It can handle extreme loads year after year and never degrade. Other materials, such as wood or steel, have to be treated with special coatings on a regular basis or they’ll fall apart. Steel, for example, will rust or corrode if not treated. Aluminum has a natural aluminum oxide coating that makes it resistant to rust and corrosion.
- Safety considerations – When the temperatures soar, that can make steel dangerously hot to the touch. That doesn’t happen with aluminum – no matter how hot it gets, you can still safely touch it. When it’s rainy, wood and steel ramps can become slippery. That won’t happen with our aluminum products. We add special coatings that provide reliable traction even on the wettest days.
- Ease of installation – Installing a steel wheelchair ramp can be a tedious, time-consuming process. The reason is they usually have to be welded together. REDD Team ramps are already custom-made to your exact specifications, so no spot-welding is necessary. Not only is it easy to install our ramps, you can also disassemble and reassemble them very quickly should the need arise to move them. Ramps made of other materials, such as wood, have to be completely demolished and rebuilt.
