Why Choosing a Modular Ramp in Dublin Can Save Time, Money, and Stress
Recently, we received a call from someone in Dublin who had tried to create access for his father’s mobility scooter. They had built a platform at the front door and purchased a portable ramp to connect it to the ground. At first, it seemed like a simple, cost-effective solution. However, the step was quite high, and unfortunately, the gradient of the ramp turned out to be far too steep for safe use.
Buying a portable ramp without professional advice can seem like a quick fix, but it often leads to problems, especially when height and slope aren’t calculated correctly. In this case, although the platform was solid and secure, the ramp made access dangerous for a wheelchair user. What began as an affordable DIY project ended up creating a serious safety risk.
If we had been called in earlier, a full modular ramp installation could have been designed from the start. With a platform at the door and a properly graded ramp to the ground, the whole setup would have been safer, more functional, and likely cheaper in the long run.
Modular Ramp Dublin solutions are not just tailored to each home, they’re also compliant with accessibility standards and built for independence.
Once we completed our part of the installation, the customer was able to use the ramp independently. Seeing him move safely and confidently was a great reminder of why the right design matters. In the end, he was delighted with the result, and we were proud to provide a reliable, lasting solution.
