Ramp for a Wheelchair

Installing a Ramp for Wheelchair

Wheelchair ramp is an excellent solution. It improves accessibility for individuals with limited mobility.

At Ramps Plus we have put together some key points to show the benefits to a wheelchair ramp installation.

Accessibility:

Wheelchair ramps offer a smooth and gentle incline that allows wheelchair users, as well as individuals using a zimmer frame or other mobility aids, to move in and out of their home without encountering the barriers posed by stairs or steps.

Inclusivity:

Wheelchair ramps promote inclusion. Ensures that everyone, regardless of their mobility level, can access public buildings, private residences, and other spaces.

Independence:

Like stairlifts, wheelchair ramps allow individuals to maintain their independence. Allowing people move around without relying on others for help.

Safety:

Ramps offer a safer alternative to steps. Reducing the risk of accidents, falls, or tripping that can be especially dangerous for wheelchair users.

Home Modifications:

Installing a modular wheelchair ramp can be a practical and cost-effective home modification. These are perfect for people who plan to age in place or have a family member with a mobility issues.

Materials:

Our modular wheelchair ramps are made from metal and steel, allowing for customisation. Which can be made to fit specific area and blends into its location.

Permanent or Temporary:

Our modular wheelchair ramps are permanent and approved by local council for grant funding. As the ramps are modular, they can be removed with no impacted to the garden or home. Unlike concrete ramps that can devalue a home and take a lot of work to install and remove.

Environmental Considerations:

When designing a wheelchair ramp, factors such as the slope, length, and handrail placement are considered to ensure the safety and usability of the ramp in various weather conditions.

Our ramps rails are made with galvanised and powder coated ‘warm touch’ handrails. To ensure rails are not cold to the touch. Also our modular ramps are fully recyclable and reusable. We want to promote a circular economy when it comes to house adaptions.

Community Benefits:

Wheelchair ramps benefit people with mobility issues but also the wider community by insuring inclusion and equal access.

Whether it’s in private homes, public spaces, or commercial buildings, wheelchair ramps play a crucial role in creating an accessible and inclusive environment.

Like stairlifts, ramps are an essential tool that can enhance the quality of life for individuals with limited mobility. Allowing them to take part in daily activities and interact with their surroundings without barriers.
