To give you a clearer idea of the differences between Metal Modular Ramps and Wooden Ramps, we've listed the advantages and disadvantages for both below.

METAL MODULAR RAMPS

Advantages:

• Cost effective - especially on larger ramps.
• Ready for use instantly upon installation.
• Installations cause minimum disruption.
• Three-year warranty.
• Fully galvanised for longevity of use and corrosion-resistance.
• Suitable for all types of buildings; including temporary and portable.
• In-house recycling initiatives can help with cost savings.
• Can be installed or removed quickly.
• Suitable as a short or long-term solution.
• Fully adjustable, can be adapted, modified, and changed.
• Choice of surfaceS available.
• Fully compliant with Documents M and K of the Building Regulations.
• The surface is slip-resistant and extremely durable.
• Quick and easy to install in (almost) all weather conditions.
• Choice of colours available.
• High traction and instant draining.
• Warm-to-touch coating.
• Integrated handrails.
• Minimal groundworks.
• Metal ramps are fire-resistant, meaning they will not typically burn or melt at temperatures encountered in building fires.

Disadvantages:

• Appearance perceived to look industrial.
   

WOODEN RAMPS

Advantages:

• Wooden ramps are aesthetically pleasing.

Disadvantages:

• Often takes up to a week to construct and install.
• High labour costs.
• High maintenance costs.
• Very prone to rotting, splintering, and cracking.
• Moss or fungi quickly grows, causing a slipping hazard on wooden ramps. 
• Wood will burn if exposed to fire.
