REQUIREMENT:

Permanent wheelchair access from the new classroom entrance to the playground.

The ramp required to comply with both Part M and K of the Building Regulations.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Our in-house design team generated the CAD drawings, which were then provided to the client along with their quotation.

END RESULT:

The Rapid Ramp fully complies with Building Regulations outlined in Documents M and K.

The installation was successfully finished during the summer holidays, well before the new school year. Moreover, it required only a few hours to be fitted and was immediately ready for use.

In contrast to our steel Rapid Ramp System, a concrete ramp installation is time consuming due to the necessary drying time and is impractical in adverse weather conditions, such as snow or rain.

FEATURES INCLUDED:

  •  Infill Handrail - This product safeguards against users climbing or falling through gaps.
  • Yellow Tread - A safety feature designed to help those with impaired vision identify the system's nose and any level changes.
  • Trombone Ends - Installed at the ends of a Rapid Ramp to prevent clothes from snagging.
  • Mesh Platform - Self-draining mesh allows water to pass through, preventing surface accumulation.
  • Continuous Handrail - This handrail system ensures that users always have a support to hold onto.
  • 1100mm High Rail - these handrails attach to any level sections.
  • Standard Colour: Black - Our ramps boast a powder-coated black finish, ensuring durability beyond typical paint.
  • Adjustable Telescopic Legs - These can be adapted to suit various threshold heights.

EXTRA FEATURE INCLUDED:

  • Fully Compliant Step Unit - The perfect companion to any ramp setup, delivering the necessary access for able-bodied users. They can also function as standalone units, operating independently of the Rapid Ramp System.
  • A lower handrail system designed to be used by young children and wheelchair users.
  • Safetread Rubber Surface - This soft, slip-resistant surface minimises the impact of falls. Manufactured from materials like those used in soft play areas, it is ideal for nurseries, schools, and public facilities. Additionally, it comes in various colours and maintains optimal performance in all weather conditions.
