What We Do

Ramp Hero Disability Access Ramps

Metal Modular Ramps

Our metal modular ramps & wheelchair ramps have been designed with the end user, compliance and safety in mind.

Threshold ramps of all types, Excellent Systems clip together, rubber, and fold up threshold ramps available for DIY or full installation

Step units can be fitted independently or together with a ramp installation.  Whether it is for someone using a walking frame and therefore in need of a deeper stepping platform or just to add options, all set-ups are available.

Lightweight folding suitcase ramps can be a great solution for occasional use, perhaps once a week or a few times a week. The ramps are available as folding or non folding for convenient, compact storage.

They are easy to carry and deploy, with a full-width anti-slip surface that provides excellent grip, and can be used in combination with any number of other of our ramp systems.

Available in a variety of lengths, ranging from 60cm to 240cm in 30cm increments.

Whether positioned alongside existing steps or running down a walkway, Easirail avoids the traditional industrial “look” that other handrail systems provide, with oversized joints and a bare unpainted finish.

All components are fully galvanised and ready coated in a warm touch finish for effective corrosion resistance. The handrail is either selected from our pre-cut lengths or simply cut to size and attached using ultra strong rivets, providing a quick and secure method of installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Q. How big will the ramp be? 
A. We will design it to have a safe, easy-to-use gradient recommended by the Building Regulations.

 

Q. How long will it take to install the ramp? 
A. Installation will generally take less than a day to complete most ramps unless there is extensive work needed.

 

Q. What happens if there is an issue with the access product? 
A. All our products have a three-year guarantee. We have been installing ramps successfully for more than 20 years and would expect a 25+ year life span.

 

Q. What maintenance will I have to do? 
A. Very little maintenance is required. We recommend that the walkway be swept to keep dirt away and suggest wiping down the handrails with soapy water twice a year. Perhaps a quick free of charge visit every year – we will quickly check over and tell you if anything needs working on. If it does, we will quote unless it is covered by warranty.

 

Q. What are your stock lead times? 
A. This is dependent on the size of the project, however generally lead times are between 2-4 weeks from the point of order. This varies throughout the seasons.

 

Q. What are your quotation lead times? 
A. Quotations can be returned within 24hrs if there is clear information given, including project address, drawings, photos and contact details.

 

Q. How much does a ramp cost?
A. The cost of a ramp will vary depending on size, location & specification. For example, our smallest straight Standard Modular Ramp starts from £2,500. Estimates are subject to site survey, and VAT exemptions can apply.

 

Q. How wide should a ramp be?
A. Wheelchair ramps for public use should have a minimum width of 1500mm, while the minimum width for ramps to dwellings is 900mm

 

Q. What surfaces can a ramps be installed over?
A. Our steel Easi Ramp Systems and steps can be installed over a variety of soft and hard surfaces. This might not be the case for other materials.

 

Q. How long should a ramp be?
A. It depends on the threshold height and gradient required. Suppose the ramp is too short for the threshold height of the entry point. In that case, it can create an unnecessary steep gradient that can be hard for a user with mobility issues to ascend independently. Plus, it can make it difficult for a caregiver to safely push a hospital bed or wheelchair user.

 

Q. How are the ramps secured to the ground?
A. Screws are used to secure the ramp to certain floorings such as concrete, paving and tarmac. The ramp is often installed with slip-resistant rubber tiles or concrete pad stones underneath the leg feet for muddy or grassy terrain.

 

Q. How strong is the mesh platform?
A. Our mesh platforms have a safe working load of 1000KG (when installed correctly).

 

Q.  What colour will my system be?
A. Black is the standard handrail colour.

Handrails are powder-coated black to create a durable finish that is tougher than conventional paint.

 

Q. Does we do our own installation?
A. Yes, we have our own installation teams based across the UK.

 

Q. Will you remove the existing ramp?
A. As part of the service we offer, our fitters can dismantle and remove existing wooden ramps.

 

Q. What height can the ramp be up to?
A. The highest ramp to date we have designed and installed was 3 metres high.

 

Q. Can the legs be adjusted?
A. Yes, the legs can be adjusted to accommodate different threshold heights.

 

Q. Are foundations under the ramp necessary?
A. Our ramps are typically installed over an existing hard surfaces such as concrete or tarmac. We do have structural calculations to support the correct specification of concrete pads if required.

Q. How long does installation take?
A. Typically, the installation of an EasiRamp takes approximately 2 to 5 hours on average.

 

Q. Do ramp be installed over tree roots?
A. Yes, ramps can be installed in areas with roots, including near protected trees, by providing root-friendly foundations. Excavation and concrete can be minimised or completely eliminated if required.

A.Yes, we provide DWGs with our designs. These are created in-house and supplied with your quotation.

 

Q. How much does it cost to install a ramp?
A. We assess the cost of installing a ramp on a case-by-case basis, considering a project’s size, the estimated installation timeline, and the necessary number of EasiRamp fitters.
