The project involved upgrading an aging wooden ramp, which was no longer safe for use, to a compliant steel Rapid Ramp System.

The new system was designed to have the strength necessary to support electrically operated wheelchairs, provide stability for users to reduce the risk of falls and slips, and include handrails that conformed to the specifications outlined in BS 6180:2011.

Our in-house design team produced a detailed 3D model and 2D plan, providing the customer with comprehensive visualisations of the project. These were included with their quotation.

Following the disassembly of the wooden ramp, our team completed the Rapid Ramp project in just two days during the summer holidays, ensuring it was ready on schedule for the new school year.

By the end of the first day, the entire ramp installation was successfully finished, with the second day dedicated to evenly spreading the rubber crumb material across the walkway surface to enhance safety and comfort for all users.

• Anti-climbing Infill Handrail - Prevents users from climbing or falling through gaps.
• Continuous Handrail - Provides unbroken support for users to hold onto.
• Standard Colour: Black - Powder-coated black finish for greater durability than traditional paint.
• Adjustable Telescopic Legs - Adaptable to various threshold heights.
• Slip-Resistant Yellow Stair Nosings - Enhances visibility of system edges and level changes for users with impaired vision.
• Rest Platform - A rest platform is required at a height of 5 metres to provide users with a place to pause and regain their composure.
• The 1100mm High Handrail - The system is designed to attach to any level sections, offering additional safety and support.
• Underside Mesh Hoarding - This mesh is designed to prevent children from accessing the area beneath the ramp.
• Safetread Rubber Crumb Surface - This soft, slip-resistant surface offers excellent impact absorption, improving safety by reducing the risk of falls. Made from the same materials used in soft play areas, it is ideal for public spaces such as nurseries and schools.
