These ramp systems are lightweight and portable, and yet extremely durable. They can be installed and also removed quickly.

Different Types of Custom Wheelchair Ramps
Here are the top three types of custom ramps available –
- Aluminum Series – Featuring a unique welded cone-mounted hand rail design, aluminum ramps are strong and durable and can be easily installed within hours. A 2” safety curb on both sides of the ramp ensures safety and prevents the wheelchair from rolling off. Its multi-weld fabrication process ensures less deflection of the ramp surface.
- Steel Series – Featuring a code-compliant mesh design (that allows natural drainage), this ADA-compliant ramp features a total weight capacity of 800 lbs. It has a textured finish for slip resistance. Steel ramps are available in Tuxedo Black that compliments any exterior finish. Extra aluminum parts eliminate high-maintenance issues. Other standard features include – 36″ width, galvanized silver handrails and cone-mounted hand rail design.
- Wood Series – This series complements outdoor decks and patios better than steel or aluminum ramp systems. The ADA-compliant 36″ width model comes with a unique leg design that maximizes structural integrity. Floor board spacing gaps allow for drainage as well as natural expansion and contraction. These ramps also feature pressure treated wood to prevent rotting.
