Why is an Aluminum Ramp the Quickest Wheelchair Ramp Option?
- An aluminum wheelchair ramp typically will not require a building permit. Therefore, the process of scheduling and installing the ramp will be much quicker.
- On average, it only takes a couple of hours for our technicians to install a modular ramp system, whereas wooden and concrete ramps require much more labor time
- Many of our locations have ramp material in stock at their warehouse, which will prevent from having to wait for the material to ship
Features of an Aluminum Modular Ramp Include:
- Two surface options to choose from
- Solid -- Extruded tread surface built with raised "ribs" for slip-resistance
- Expanded -- Open weaved surface
We typically recommend solid surface as it's better for preventing snow and ice build up on an aluminum wheelchair ramp.
- Up to 1000 lb. weight capacity
- No maintenance required
- Aluminum will not rot or rust
- Built to withstand the outdoor elements
- Flexible system that can be customized to your home
- Four handrail options for safety
- Two-way traction
Rent an Aluminum Wheelchair Ramp
