Aluminum Ramp with handrails – a reliable and stylish solution for private homes and commercial buildings
Sooner or later, all homeowners or business owners who have various buildings in their commercial property think about the installation of ramps with handrails to ensure the comfort and safety of all categories of people. In addition to concern for the environment, they are also guided by the current building regulations, which should be noted – they require installation ramp for differences in the height of surfaces from 0.5 inches.
In today’s market, there are many options for implementing ramps with handrails. They are made of concrete and wood, rubber and steel. The best material for making ramps and handrails is aluminum. What are the advantages of aluminum ramps for wheelchairs, what types of products do manufacturers offer, and what requirements must meet such a construction? Let’s find out.
Aluminum entrance ramps enable wheelchair users to live life to the fullest
Aluminum wheelchair ramp is an excellent choice when it comes to providing easy access to your home or any institution. Of course, you can also choose another material, but concrete requires constant maintenance, as its surface can become cracked and chipped over time. Steel is very heavy and prone to rust, and wood is short-lived and requires constant maintenance. As for aluminum structures, they have a number of advantages.
1. Durability
Aluminum is a very durable material, which, even without maintenance with regular use and in heavy duty, will last you for many years. A perfect confirmation of this fact is the existence of aluminum ramps, which can withstand the weight of a snow blower or even a truck
2. Safety
Aluminum mesh ramps provide reliable traction of the wheels of any vehicle with the surface so that the wheelchair will ride smoothly without rolling back when climbing up and not accelerating when going down.
3. Cost-effectiveness
Aluminum handrails and ramps are not susceptible to corrosion and rust, so there is no need for additional monetary investment in constant maintenance and address to special services.
4. Functionality
The aluminum walk ramp, made of mesh, does not retain moisture, so the construction stays dry even during the rainy season. Together with the anti-slip surface and reliable aluminum handrails, it allows you to safely walk the ramp without the risk of falling.
5. Mobility
There are many variations of individually engineered structures that are easy to dismantle and, if necessary, move to another entrance. The light weight of aluminum also contributes to this. In addition, there are telescopic, folding aluminum ramps and other solutions, but we’ll talk about them in more detail later.
With all of the above advantages, aluminum handicap ramps with handrails are versatile designs that you can use to enter any type of building.

All buildings, regardless of their purpose, need ramps because wheelchair users are full members of our society who need to visit educational institutions, shops, and pharmacies, work, and simply live comfortably in their own homes. That’s why the aluminum walk ramp with handrails has such a wide range of uses:
Private homes
Aluminum structures perfectly perform their function and complement the exterior of your home because, in conjunction with aluminum handrails, they are graceful and lightweight.
Schools, colleges, and universities
Make sure that students with disabilities can comfortably visit the school. The aluminum structure will not take up much space and can be engineered to fit the individual parameters of the building and the surrounding area.
Medical facilities
It is only natural that many people in hospitals and nursing homes are not comfortable climbing stairs. An aluminum ramp is convenient and safe, and thanks to its sturdy aluminum handrails, it can be used for independent or assisted mobility

Railings For Handicap Ramps | Aluminum Outdoor Railing
Government buildings
Such institutions should be a model for others, including in the equipment of their buildings. Different categories of people can visit them, and people with special needs can work here.
Modular homes
For such buildings, a folding ramp will be indispensable; some models are folded to the size of a suitcase and can easily be transported to the needed place.
Outbuildings
Aluminum ramp suppliers offer their customers solutions for buildings of different sizes, for example, for a shed, garage, grain storage, etc.
Churches, hotels, stores, and other public buildings
An aluminum ramp for wheelchairs is good because it easily adapts to the features of each building project. Regardless of the size of the adjacent area, you can choose the parameters of the installed stairs and other details, as well as a suitable type of construction.
Aluminum ramps with handrails are suitable for any means of transportation: wheelchair, scooter, motorcycle, bicycle, stroller, etc. Install this design and forget all the inconveniences associated with overcoming stairs and thresholds.
Types of aluminum entrance ramps: choose your option from the variety of available offers.
When choosing a structure made of aluminum, you have two options – stop at a mobile solution or install a permanent system. We suggest you look at all available models, and we will create exactly the one that will fully meet your needs.
Telescopic ramps made of aluminum
The design consists of several rails, the distance between which corresponds to the distance between the vehicle’s wheels. The main disadvantage of this solution is that it may not be suitable for all types of vehicles. For example, a scooter’s wheels will not fit into the rails because of the distance between them.
Threshold crossing aids
These small, lightweight structures are applicable for crossing thresholds, curbs, and other small obstacles. In addition to mobility aids like wheelchairs and scooters, the task of such ramps is easy transportation of carts from the supermarket or a suitcase on wheels.
Folding aluminum ramps
Such a ramp consists of several elements and is designed for easy movement from place to place – the structure folds up several times and becomes very compact.
Flip-down models
This item is specially designed for buildings with a small local space where you can not place a full-fledged ramp. It is equipped with a lifting mechanism so users can easily lower the unit at any time.
Aluminum modular ramp system
Unlike previous models, modular systems are not considered portable, although they are quite mobile. Thanks to the special design – these models consist of several sections – they can be easily dismantled and reassembled in a new location.
Whichever type of product you choose, according to the ADA – the law that regulates the rights of people with special needs – each ramp must be equipped with additional accessories: handrails.
Installation of aluminum handrails: the practical and aesthetic side of the issue
Handrails are included in any ramp kit and serve several functions:
1. Supporting. By holding on to the railings, wheelchair users can move around without assistance, and the rest of us can keep our balance, thereby reducing the risk of falling to a minimum.
2. Protective. Aluminum handrails also act as a reliable barrier that keeps the wheelchair from rolling off the ramp.
3. Decorative. Aluminum properties allow you to customize handrails to match your exterior styling.
