Wheelchair Ramp Materials
Manufactured from a wide variety of high-quality, durable materials, our wheelchair ramps are available in aluminum, foam, rubber, and plastic. Designed with safety in mind, they all offer a non-slip surface, reducing the risk of slips and falls even in wet or icy weather conditions. Choose from ramps with a high-traction grit coat, extruded aluminum, EZ-Traction punch plate, or grooved rubber surface.
How to Measure for a Wheelchair Ramp
In addition to figuring out what type of wheelchair ramp you need, it is important to measure for your wheelchair ramp to ensure you purchase the correct size. Selecting a ramp that is too short will result in a steep grade, which can be extremely dangerous. Choosing a longer ramp will decrease the steepness of your slope.
You will need to measure the following: - The total vertical rise you are trying to overcome
- The available distance without obstruction measuring straight out from the highest point
- The total usable width of the area
