Wigan Wallgate Train Station

Works were underway at the station, and as part of these enhancements, a sliding entrance door to the waiting room was scheduled to be fitted with disabled access.

We followed the specified design to install a GRP ramp suitable for public areas where high levels of daily footfall are expected.

CAD and technical drawings were designed by our specialist CAD designer in-house, from measurements and photos taken by our site surveyor.

A Rapid Ramp with a slip-resistant GRP surface and yellow ‘warm-to-touch’ handrails was installed and fully completed within a day. 

FEATURES INCLUDED:

• Trombone Ends - these are added to the ends of a Rapid Ramp to prevent clothes catching.
• Telescopic Legs - these can be changed to accommodate different threshold heights.
• Continuous Handrail - this handrail system is designed to be grasped by the hand, to provide stability or support.

EXTRA INCLUDED:

• GRP Platform - a slip-resistant and non-corrosive surface. The ideal option for areas with high footfall, such as schools and public spaces.
• Yellow Powder Coated Finish - Rapid Ramp comes in black as standard, but you can choose a colour to match your requirement, all we require is your RAL colour number.

Our handrail product achieves this ‘warm to touch’ finish, with a nylon coating of low thermal conductivity, so that body heat is not conducted away from the hand.

The process allows the system to become robust enough to deal with our ever-changing, British weather conditions.
