Accessibility can significantly increase productivity in industrial and commercial facilities. REDD Team wheelchair threshold ramps are some products that can enhance productivity at your workplace or building. Our technicians design and manufacture quality, durable, affordable access products, including ramps, stairs, and access platforms. We make it easier for people on wheelchairs, scooters, and other mobility devices to access your commercial and industrial facility easily. However, many property owners may not know what to consider when shopping for access products. Consider these factors when buying threshold ramps.
First, it is essential to understand that REDD Team wheelchair ramps come in many designs, shapes, and sizes. This means you can always find the wheelchair ramp that meets your needs. However, apart from the ramp’s appearance and aesthetic appeal, you must consider compliance. Make sure the wheelchair ramp you choose complies with OSHA and ADA standards. Fortunately, all REDD Team access products comply with states’ rules and regulations. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about compliance when you order your wheelchair threshold ramps from REDD Team.
Consider the type of ramp you want. You may opt for a portable or permanent ramp depending on your needs. The next step is to establish the size of the threshold ramp you should install. This may involve taking measurements of the location where the ramp will be installed to determine if it will fit. Our experts can conduct a site visit to take the measurements at the client’s request. However, if you decide to take the measurements on your own, here are the essential calculations you will need.
- Measure the rise/height: This is the length from the bottom to the top of the ramp.
- Measure the width: This is the measure of the door frame; any restrictions should be highlighted as you go. However, this is a simple measurement to ensure the ramp is wide enough for mobility devices.
- Measure the extension: Remember, the longer the rise, the longer the extension you need. Consider the space available for the extension when deciding on the preferred extension length.
Finally, choose the best ramp type for your specific needs. Consider the number of people likely to use the ramp simultaneously and find a ramp that can accommodate users’ weight capacities. In addition, determine whether you need an indoor or outdoor ramp and the environmental conditions of the ramp location. Outdoor ramps should withstand the elements.
