Thanks to the recent innovations in ready-made wheelchair ramps, mobility is now much easier and flexible for both the disabled and wheelchair users. In the past, we only had permanent concrete ramps which are often difficult to walk or tread on due to a combination of poor sloping and incorrect dimensions. They also tend to wear down quickly as a result of constant exposure to harsh weather elements and unnecessary traffic from able walkers. It is therefore a welcome development that ramps can now be as modular as possible.
There are several accessibility solutions for the semi-disabled walkers as well as for those who use mobility scooters, wheelchairs and prams. Still, the adjustable and stand-alone kind is the best design out there due to the advantages of its use.
Modular Design Wheelchair Ramps
In a modular wheelchair ramp design, the main features are the very flexible components which allow you to set up the access ramps in a variety of configurations as necessary. The modules are designed to be interchangeable and they easily connect with each other for quick installation. You can even attach the wheelchair ramp to a platform or a door threshold at a desired angle without having to use other joining materials.
Self-Install and Reusable
Our adjustable disability ramps come in self-install kits which are ideal for do-it-yourself. They are perfect for quick installation, something that is often impossible with permanently installed wheelchair ramps. You can also take the ramp apart whenever necessary and store it for future use. Unlike with concrete wheelchair access ramps, you have the option to remove and re-install an adjustable ramp depending on the situation.
Non-Skid Floor
The base surface of the ramp is typically made of either fibreglass grid or solid floor with sufficient friction to prevent slipping. As for the handrails, many companies have configured their ramps to maintain vertical position despite the floor being sloped in an angle that is more or less than 90 degrees.
